[QUOTE="Marco N Cognito, post: 5658, member: 13"] It's one thing to read it and be concerned; it's another to read advice directed specifically at you: [I] [B]"Exogenous testosterone would be, to my assessment, absolutely contraindicated in you, given your history, without or without concomitant anticoagulation." [/B][/I] All my hopes of any progress commencing TRT and relishing in its benefits now crushed. But should I be surprised after reading his research in which it clearly states TRT is off limits, especially for those with ANY history of clots? So am I faced with no quality of life, no ability just to avoid these #%^& clots? If I do TRT, it will be like playing Russian roulette because you really won't know if or when you will clot until the clot is already in place - or be already dead from a pulmonary embolism (when the clot has broken off). What alternatives do I have? Natural T boosters don't work. SARMs? I sent Dr. G a follow-up email suggestion that NOT being on TRT (of SOME kind) is not an option. I can't be the only one faced with this dilemma. Other takeaways from him: [B]1) ALL of the anti-estrogens (i.e. Arimidex) are reported to be thrombogenic (induce clots). 2) The putative risk of low T and MI (heart attack) is way overweighed by increased MI, CVD (cardiovascular disease),and all cause mortality. 3) Several studies have shown that [/B][U][B]endogenous[/B][/U][B] (natural) T throughout its distribution (particularly on the high end) is NOT associated with thrombotic events.[/B] [U]List of labs necessary to evaluate possible thrombophilia - via LabCorp: [/U] [B]1.
