anyone with experience using mesterolone (proviron) to combat SHBG rise from clomid?
I'm not sure I totally follow. But just to "think out loud" here: If you mean (with me trying to phrase it in a drastically simplified way) that the body tries to maintain a certain level of free-T (said level being determined by genetics, environment, health, lifestyle, etc. and thus sometimes...- Aki

Even if I were inclined to try it, I wouldn't be able to acquire it, unfortunately.- Aki

anyone with experience using mesterolone (proviron) to combat SHBG rise from clomid?
It was recommended to me by the guy who I was taking advice from. I think he gave a reason but I can't recall at the moment. Anyway, initially (as is always the case with me and clomid) I felt good so there didn't seem to be any reason to not go along with it. I also remember reading about a...- Aki

anyone with experience using mesterolone (proviron) to combat SHBG rise from clomid?
@Mastodont I tried taking a very low dose of proviron for a couple of weeks (I think it was one 25 mg pill weekly divided into two doses). Initially I felt some improvement but later on I started feeling what I describe as my low-estrogen symptoms (the main one being my body temperature feels...- Aki

Hi all, Condensed "TL;DR" version of my question: has anyone who has been on clomid to treat secondary hypogonadism tried a low dose of mesterolone (proviron) to reduce the SHBG increase ensuing from using clomid? If so, can you tell me about your experience? Context/long version: I have...- Aki

searching private conversations?
Sorry if this has been asked before or covered somewhere else, but is there a way to search for text within one's private conversations, whether all conversations or a particular one?- Aki

Anyone else obsessed with testosterone?
I know this thread is a few months old, but this message caught my eye.. Unless I'm very much mistaken, to have a free T level of 93 ng/dL (calculated with an SHBG of 28) requires a total T of about 2800 ng/dL(!) A free T of 200 ng/dL would mean a total testosterone > 5500 ng/dL. I thought...- Aki

why does exogenous T cause my already low SHBG to plummet further?
Right, but you would look for a good initial subjective response as well as the lab values of hormones that are indirectly influenced (estrogen, SHBG, etc.), wouldn't you? For example - hypothetically - I might've stuck to my doctor's protocol of sustanon-250 every two weeks for three doses...- Aki

OK, that SHBG value seems very low. How do you feel at your current dosage?- Aki

so what *are* the possible causes of late-onset secondary hypogonadism?
Wow, didn't know this topic would spark such a discussion. I have only glanced through the replies whilst scrolling down, but I feel I owe it to everyone to read their replies with due consideration (which I intend as soon as I have time).- Aki

why does exogenous T cause my already low SHBG to plummet further?
Right.. so the main thing seems to be is to try to get a faster-acting testosterone so things can stabilise quicker. I wonder if it would be possible to calculate/estimate what dose to take based on an initial dose that feels "just right"? Like say (for argument's sake) I find that 30mg every...- Aki

@Gman86 and @Cataceous - appreciate the responses I too have some recollection of the feedback mechanism whereby LH/FSH production is signalled. And if I remember correctly, clomid works by blocking the estrogen receptors, fooling the pituitary into producing more LH and FSH and consequently...- Aki

I realise I'm asking a very big question, but it seems (barring a pituitary tumor or head trauma) doctors don't seem to have any explanation for late occuring secondary hypogonadism. I even asked the late Dr. Crisler on the phone once, and he couldn't offer any suggestion. Some salient facts...- Aki

@Cataceous and @Vince Carter thank you both for your insight and experience. Just as I had decided, I didn't taken the second shot sustanon-250 shot, which was due three days ago as per the once shot per two weeks schedule. I am going to the see the endo again and try to see if he can offer me...- Aki
