I'm a newbie here. I can't understand why having a low SHBG would cause issues on TRT. To me it seems(from reading) If you had a lower SHBG, you would need less mg per week of T, because there is less SHBG to bind to the T and the result would be higher free T(what counts) compared to someone...

Just an update. I tried going to 12.5 every OTHER day for the last month or so. Really I am just trying to get a feel of where I feel best and to ensure the symptoms I am feeling and get relief from, is really low T. Over the last few weeks. I have started to get dry skin,dry eyes, lower energy...

@Ribeye good news. glad for you. Can you share what your protocol is? Did you have success right off the bat or did you have to adjust? Thank you

@PhilM7 wow only twice a week. I am wondering how that will work for you. I have been toying with doing EOD. I am 600+ after one month, most thing I read, that if i continue everyday, i will see further increases for another month or so before leveling off. Also wondering if EOD, makes the eye...

@PhilM7 I have noticed the same and you might be right. How long have you been on enclomiphene. What have been your results with symptoms and numbers? Any other sides then what you just indicated? I am not a huge fan of eye effects. Have your floaters changed at all since being on it?

@mcs I understand thats the theory, but honestly I don't think thats ever been proven. Many medications appear to have eye floaters as a side effect. I'll ask my urologist next week and see what they think

@Vince right. But systemlord seems to be indicating its starving your eyes for estrogen?

@Systemlord Thank you. I don't think anyone knows what receptors enclomiphene or clomid actually block. we know it blocks the pituitary area/feedback loop. But it certainly doesn't lower estrogen in the body as mine went up. We also know since I got sensitive nipples it doesn't block that...

I started enclomiphene about a month ago, after 2 labs came back with total T of 220 and 330. 12.5mg per day. I noticed a pick up in energy, libido, and some of the aches and pains I have had for awhile, just disappeared. I had dry eyes about zoloft and lasik, and noticed increased tear...

By your test results, I would think you would qualify. However, your RBC's are already high. Which will go up on TRT

t boosters have no studies behind them, likely snakeoil with that said, if I was your age with a 400 total, if my free was semi reasonable. I would wait on trt.

why is your platlets so low? I'd be more concerned on that

How long were you on clomid before it stopped working? Was stopped working that your test levels fell again? Did you try upping the dose?

what ester are you taking? how often? Whats your goal for total T? Thank you

@tropicaldaze1950 is there any consensus? I see some evidence the longer acting, has lower effect on lips and RBC's.
