    Thanks for the update that is helpful. I might give it a try as I'm trying to regain my libido more than boost hormones.

    Why does 100mg oral pregnenolone spike my libido beyond belief?

    Can I ask why you are taking it sublingually and not just oral (mostly interested in the Preg)?

    Test results two months later on clomiphene. There is progress!

    Are you working with a Dr? Clomiphene blocks the oestrogen receptor making it unavailable to oestrogen. This is fine for short periods of time when trying to achieve a particular goal (fertility etc) however starving your body of oestrogen comes at a large physiological cost. Make sure you have...

    Dosing and freq of T and HCG

    I’m interested to know what would be the upper limit for dosing HCG. Also how long can you take it before seeing negative feedback starting to down regulate LH and FSH?

    Safety of hCG Monotherapy for Men with Previous Exogenous T Use or Replacement Therapy

    Can anyone point me to more information on this? I’ve been on TRT and after a HPTA reset protocol Ive been in the lower normal range for my T, but I’ve never quite felt the same as pre-low T (caused by stress and poor sleep) and I never got my libido back. Been off TRT for a few years still in...

    Appropriate duration of Clomid use post self prescribed TRT

    I actually cant remember the exact dose now. It was just using the cream. Started with half a squirt daily ( I was still low), then went to full squirt daily (then I went high...?!), back to half a squirt (low again....), then I moved to the reset protocol.

    Appropriate duration of Clomid use post self prescribed TRT

    I will preface by saying that everybody's situation is unique. I had a similar issue coming into my late 40's. Low T symptoms and so went to GP which confirmed very low T. I believe now this was a result of stress, lack of sleep and extended low calorie diet which really took it's toll. GP...

    Stopping Testosterone Injections for Enclomiphene

    I was on TRT for two years and was very unhappy with level control as well as how I felt. I used the reset protocol I found on this forum with very good results. Lab results are attached. The post reset labs are six months after protocol was completed (pretty much the same as straight after...

    Memory Loss on TRT

    I can't seem to get a lab test for Pregnenolone (Australia). Would it be enough to just check DHEA levels? Or maybe DHEA and progesterone, or would this not be an indicator of Pregnenolone?

    Quitting TRT

    I'll post up my one month post clomid results when they are done. I felt the best when I was on HCG for the first week. Libido definitely improved significantly. I will say I don't feel dramatically different when my T is high or low. Was very surprised when I started TRT and my first blood...

    Quitting TRT

    Thanks you answered my next question! Finished one week ago and I have to say I've been feeling very tired this week and libibo has really fallen away to zero. I think for the first time I even had trouble reaching climax. Not sure what all this means but will wait for bloods.

    Quitting TRT

    I'm just finishing the Defy Restart protocol. I'm feeling good but will only know how sucessful it was once I have my blood tested. I have less than a week left of the Clomid (enclomiphene) to go. I'll post up my blood results when I get them. I have been on TRT for about 2 years prior to this...

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
