I have not experienced any negative effect from enclomiphene that I know of. Not really any other substantial positive effect other than increasing my Free T. I have used it for 4 months now. I am going to create a separate thread to report all the details of how it went, including before and...

I wasn't on exogenous testosterone, I have never done TRT since my natural numbers aren't really that bad. I started with 12.5mg twice a week, that got my Free T up to 20. After 10 weeks I tried 12.5mg three times a week and that got my Free T up to 28 ng/dL, way above the reference range of...

Yes it requires a prescription and isn't easily available anymore.

I asked them about that as well. You can somewhat get your mind involved even though the contractions are involuntary. You can kind of follow the rhythm of the machine and contract your muscles along with it. I think you are right that manually contracting and releasing muscles would be better...

I live in the US and I believe the Emsella chair is widely available.

That's interesting, it's always nice to have competition for us consumers :) Yes, I agree the muscle contractions can be quite strong, it is not like a massage, it is like a workout for sure.

Sorry for the delay getting back to you guys. I haven't been on here for the last few weeks. It's been almost two weeks since I finished the six Emsella chair appointments, so enough time for them to take effect. The treatment certainly gives the pelvic floor muscles a good workout. I feel like...

I took nettle root for a few months but didn't see any increase in my Free T levels. We all can react differently though. I have read and also heard from several doctors that nettle root has worked for other people. I did increase my Free T substantially using enclomiphene. I took a small dose...

I went to a clinic that has an Emsella chair. It is an FDA approved device to treat incontinence in women by strenghtening the pevlic floor. For men, it supposedly helps with erections, sensitivity, ejaculation/orgasm, and urinary issues too. You sit on it and it sends out electromagnetic pulses...

Thanks very much, helpful feedback from both of you. Aspects of Libido so far: Mental interest Physical urge/drive Ease of arousal Are there any other aspects of libido that would be worth including if you were assessing yourself?

I agree, that's a very good point, there is a positive feedback loop between libido and arousal. For those who say they have felt times of no libido, how would you describe that state? Were you still mentally interested in sex but didn't feel a physical urge and couldn't get aroused easily? Or...

This is why I wanted to bring up the topic to get on the same page with others regarding terms like this. I would say when a person is horny, they are not necessarily aroused (i.e. some degree of erection), but they have a strong subconscious desire or drive to pursue arousal and arousal...

When a doctor asks how your libido is, what do you think about when coming up with your reply and what do you say? For me currently, I would say my mental interest in sex is as strong as it's ever been, however I don't feel horny as strongly or as often as I used. And when I engage is sex...

That's interesting the doctor would used calculated instead of measured. Does anyone know the free testosterone reference range for the ISSAM calculator? http://www.issam.ch/freetesto.htm

When measuring free testosterone, my understanding is the equilibrium ultrafiltration method is the most accurate and the calculators are much less useful. As you can see below, my free testosterone measured 20.23 ng/dL (ref range 5.00 to 21.00) using equilibrium ultrafiltration (Labcorp...
