The real answer is "I don't know". What I did that yield those results? I ate salads, less red meat, whatever meat I ate was grilled, less "vegetable oils", more olive oil, ate less, took Omega-3, ate the last dinner earlier (no later than 7 pm) and lots of treadmill... that's it. I lost more...

Based on my experience, it may not take you that long. Granted, I can be quite obsessive (or so my wife, my friends and my psychiatrist say ;-) but if you clean up your diet, and exercise moderately, you can see changes in a shorter period. Here are some of the changes I made in less than 6...

When I was about the OP's age, I was in a similar situation. My BP was high (140/90) my fasting glucose was 110, GFR was 60, Testosterone was 290 ng/dL, LDL Cholesterol was high, HDL was low, central obesity, all of those symptoms of metabolic syndrome (at the time called syndrome X) and my...

I can't answer your question, but I can relate to your case and give you my experience. You got me at ", apathetic, affecting marrage". I know exactly what you mean as around that time, I was exactly in the same situation you are now, and my T and E2 levels were very similar to yours. At the...

Nope. Although I’ve used SSRIs, I can’t say for sure they were the cause. It just started happening. If I were to blame a medication it would be cialis, but I’m not sure either

TBH, my problem wasn't exactly "libido" but "arousal" or "sensitivity" which caused a long time to finish. I had those problems prior to EC, but EC did not resolve it and even made it worse. There wasn't a particular time, since I tried multiple things at multiple dosages and multiple...

Yep. Just like that.

I had a similar experience with 12.5 mg every day for 6 months. Mt TT was off the charts, my FT was bottom-half normal.

For enclomiphene to work, The Hypothalamus, Pituitary and testicles (Leydig cells) all must be able to work properly. If one of them is not working, this is unlikely to work. How long have you been on TRT and at what dose/frequency? It seems the higher the dosage, the more frequent the...

I should add that there's always a compromise between how stable you want your blood levels to be, and how frequently are you willing to inject. You could inject testosterone suspension )no ester, short half life) every hour trying to mimic the natural cycle, but that requires 24 pin pricks...

The study did not divide it. They did the injection on Mondays 8:00 am. They noticed that the levels remained very stable for 5 days with a noticeable drop to "baseline levels" on the 7th day, however, they found that: "The slight decline in mean serum testosterone levels just prior to an...

I think it is hard to predict, but you can use the chart below as a reference. As you can see, al treatment options put some individuals in the "600" category. That's why TRT is highly individualized. In general, starting point ranges from 50-100 mg testosterone cypionate. A good starting...

Most likely it will bounce back. It's not guaranteed but I'd say that if your HPT axis was working relatively well before treatment, then 250IU 3 times a week for 6 months is not likely to permanently disrupt the feedback look.

Thanks @FunkOdyssey. Thank you for sharing the article. That's precisely the problem. Just as @Systemlord, I suspect encomiphene acts on many ER receptors throughout the body, with different effects, but it seems that no one has been willing to put the time and money to find out. I was aware of...

Thanks! I've also heard very prominent people (doctors, lawyers, presidents) say lot of things I have a hard time believing. A prominent doctor once told me he did not check estrogen on men because that was a female hormone (in 2022, not the 18th century) I also heard a prominent lawyer say...

Would you be so kind to provide reliable sources to backup this statement? This is a valid concern. Doesn't happen to everyone, though, but it's known to happen. True. Unfortunately, there's no way to tell which will end up working for the OP. So my advice would be, go with your doctor's...

What I'm going to mention is an anecdote of one person, but it may encourage you to try your doctor's approach. This is a 33 yo male that had total T levels of 125 ng/dL (280-1100 reference range) confirmed twice. He started enclomiphene citrate and was not able to get above 300 (which was a...

It seems we both respond similarly to the same amount of T Cyp. Question. How were you feeling on those numbers? It seems you were trying to chase a particular number and that's the reason for your change to 80/90 These numbers look great. If you were feeling good at that range, I'd keep it...

Ditto. The only thing I'd say did something was fenugreek and ashwaghanda. This is not a Randomized controlled trial but my natural T went from 403 ng/dL to 492 ng/dL and there was some improvement in spontaneous erectons. I cannot say for sure it was due to the supplements. 403 ng/dL was my...

It can be argued that having more morning elections would be good for democracy, but I'm not sure how testosterone can help. :-D

Based on my personal experience, there is no magic bullet. I don't think HCG will fix erection quality. Your estradiol is high, which may affect erection quality . Read this We conclude that elevated serum estradiol levels may impair erectile function and may be involved in the pathogenesis of...

Looks very good to me. How do you feel? What's the goal of the treatment? Fertility, wellbeing, ED, Low T? Estradiol seems high at 51, nothing my urologist would worry about though. with HCG, your LH will be low, similarly to what happens when you use exogenous testosterone. You are replacing...

Since I am not a medical doctor, the only thing I can suggest is to see a professional. Anecdotally I can tell you that I have friends that have not responded to enclomiphene and their doctors switched them to clomid and are responding very well. I would not know if in your particular case...

That's not a low dose. Enclomiphene typically goes in 6.25mg, 12.5mg or 25 mg. 12.5mg is standard, After using 12.5mg for a month, my T levels went from 308 to 706 ng/dL, and LH went up to 19.6. After 3 months it went to 1100 ng/dL and LH was >20. That's when I stopped. I was 59 yo at the...

To answer your questions definitely and authoritatively, yes, I think that maybe I lost sensitivity using PDE5-i. Obviously, hard to say, but I started cialis 5 mg daily for BPH many years ago. after a while, I started lasting longer, then too long. I can't say for sure, because the longer I...

I've never taken it, but I do remember 6-OXO and all the talk about it. It seems it ready did something (such as increasing free testosterone, DHT, etc) so I'm not surprised that it increased libido for you. These were the findings of the study below: Effects of eight weeks of an alleged...

Read post #3. Don't say I did not warn you! :-D

What I've read appears to contradict that. Effect of Estrogen on Musculoskeletal Performance and Injury Risk I've suffered much more tendonitis after I started using Enclomiphene/HCG and my estrogen started going above the normal levels of "healthy young lean men" (22-35 pg/ml) although it has...

Anecdotally. I was on HCG only, great numbers, great feeling of well-being, almost impossible to finish. TRT has improved that. I still blame it on Cialis, which I've been taking for years for BPH. When I stop for a while, normalcy returns. On a side note, those LH receptors are indeed...

Isn't life ironic? You have monster of an erection lasting almost 4 hours yet can't feel anything. That reminds me of that great British philosopher of the mid 20th century that once said "You can't always get what you want"

Ditto here, except for almost 5 years now.
