My barber swears by oral minoxidil 5mg after switching from years of topical. And he keeps mentioning it to me once a month for the last 2 years.
I'm seeing mixed reviews online, and that doctors often or sometimes refuse to prescribe it for hairloss. Ordering some online to try. Been on...
I think I figured it out. Just leaving it here in case someone would be searching for this.
Changes in DHT and/or estrogen can impact skin enough to cause fungal acne, or Malassezia (yeast) folliculitis. Topical ketoconazole (nizoral shampoo, topical finasteride mixtures that are often mixed...
interesting thing regarding that "beard chin acne" and hair follicules inflammation:
I stopped taking Arimidex (0.125 TIW) mid 2019 after a short trial. And never had beard hair follicles inflammation issues since then. But recently I went on oxandrolone / anavar and same thing is happening...
that was the issue, it only blocks estrogen receptors, not both estrogen and testosterone ones. When the hypothalamus sees high testosterone levels due to endogenous test it stops the signaling to a pituitary gland. Sort of blocking of only estrogen receptors is not enough. So far my experiment...
It's good if it works. Maybe I should have tried with 25mg, my hope was I would get some LH/FSH raised overnight for the blood test.
After some research a couple months ago my understanding was that enclo alone for me won't be able to raise me above 500 total testosterone, and if t-cyp gets me...
I took enclo 12.5mg the other night and went to labcorp in the morning (while on TRT t-cyp). LH and FSH - crickets. You are sure you're not just wasting money on enclo?
When not on TRT, the daily enclo 25mg would make my LH and FSH sky high.
would it make sense to take enclo right before LH bloodwork then (when on cypionate + enclomiphene) or the day prior? Its half-life is only 10 hours.
I'm taking enclomiphene 12.5mg TIW.
I need to correct myself
June 2021 - Aug 2021: 8 weeks HPTA restart protocol: enclo daily 25mg
at the end TT = 550ng/dL [btw: my LH was sky high, something like 25*, when the reference limit is something like 9, 12 or 14 don't remember for sure]
Sep 2021 - Oct 2021: all natural! TT down to...
Mono enclomiphene raises by TT from 250 ng/dL to 550,
been on enclo since June, going to go back to Test Cyp. I heard these days enclo replaced HCG in TRT protocols
stopped cypionate in May 2021 (40mg TIW) after 3 years on TRT
switched to enclomiphene 25mg daily for 8 weeks
now on 12.5mg TIW
lost muscle mass, strength didn't drop much, love handles came back, appetite is less, eating less
thinking to return back to cypionate, I guess these days...
Dr. Saya just puts me on Enclomiphene with no HCG (still waiting almost two weeks for it from Empower). I had some sporadic HCG use last year here and there, maybe it was enough and HCG is not really that necessary when Enclomiphene is used
Defy prescribed me Enclomiphene for a restart, same day we sent an order to Empower, and 11 days later it's still being compounded... I checked enclomiphene in Wikipedia today and strangely the article says Enclomiphene was discontinued for any uses April 2021.
Over 40 months of my TRT (dr. Saya) I took probably a dozen+ Total T measurements (used to be obsessed with wasting money on tests). Most of you are probably only doing blood work once in six months or four earlier on.
What puzzles me is how often under the exact same protocol my total test...
