Unfortunately I still can't find the original article which I thought I had saved in Zotero, but found this in a previous post I made. It's just the abstract though: Here's the link: Regulation of human gonadotropins. VIII. suppression of serum LH and FSH in adult males following exogenous...

If only I were as organized as you guys... I posted it a while back, and I thought I had saved it, but I promise I'll find it.

@UCFguy01 Just so you have a bit more information, some studies show that LH doesn't start to get suppressed with exogenous testosterone until you get to above 5mg testosterone per day. That's exactly what you're planning to use (assuming you are using T.C or T.E). so that means that you should...

This hypothesis appears to make sense at first, and that's the reasoning my taking Enclomiphene Citrate for more than a year, however, just as Donald Rumsfeld said, there are unknown unknowns. EC is a SERM that "selectively" block certain estrogen receptors. Which one, I don't know. There are...

Your labs are good. Your symptoms are "within the normal range for [your] age" Better is the enemy of good. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Not necessarily, not for everyone. It can also have side effects or exacerbates existing co-morbidities such as anxiety, GERD, etc. Not necessarily...

Same situation here. I started with Sub-q in the stomach area as well and was very, very anxious about IM, but I was getting some pain in the injection area, so I switched to shallow IM in the deltoids, as per @Nelson Vergel recommendation. It's easier and is not painful at all. No need for...

Not that I know of, I can ask him but I'm pretty sure, since we were both seeing the same urologist and used to share treatment options. By the way, I mentioned to him that those two were side effects to watch out for, he claims he'd had none of it.

I guess this is absolutely a possibility, which can happen with Clomid alone, by the way. When I was on enclomiphene monotherapy ar 12.5 mg/day, after 3 months my LH was 20.8mIU/mL (range:1.5 - 9.3), however, when I was using Enclomiohene 12.4 + HCG 300 IU M-W-F-S, my LH was 2.7 IU/mL...

I don't know. It may look like that at first however, there's a few problems: Most people do not go to the doctor to get comprehensive hormonal panel done when they are in their 20s and feeling like rock stars, so we don't know what the set point was. Even if we did, we probably measured the...

I tend to agree. I had the famous honeymoon when I first started hCG at 2000 IU a week. lasted the typical 2 weeks, never to come back again. Just like you, I think the initial hCG dose cause some changes in hormones and neurotransmitters which reached the golden ratio, ergo libido, wellbeing...

There's seem to be a misunderstanding regarding "suppression" and "inhibition" of LH and the supposedly cancellation of benefits of enclomiphene or clomid and HCG. hCG (human Chorionic Gonadotrophin) does not "suppress" the pituitary or "inhibits" LH production. hCG mimics LH which causes the...

Thanks to @Cataceous for helping me find the way to share it with you. I posted the question in the wrong thread. Here you go @phalloguy100. This is how it works and some disclaimers: The lab range are based on Quest's and for E2, are not the sensitive assay The Optimal levels are based on...

I have no problems sharing with you or anybody else, but I can't upload Excel files to the forum. Even though this workbook does not contain "macros", so it's safe, I understand why it's done. I'm sorry. @Nelson Vergel, @Cataceous, if there's any way to submit this kind of files for testing or...

Since the purpose of this forum is to help each other, and not simply show off how much we "appear" to know (although sometimes is confusing) I going to post an anecdote of someone I know who's using Clomid and very happy with it This is a guy half my age that started off with Total T=125...

As of March this year, Empower Pharmacy was selling Enclomiphene Citrate (6.25, 12.5 and 25 mg capsules). You just need a script from a doctor and as I understand it, the doctor needs to fax it to Empower. Good luck.

@jayt, given the similarities of our starting age and treatment, I'd like to ask, how long have you been on it, how are your HCT/HGB, any advice?

I was going to say exactly this. I’m on 5mg Cialis daily for BPH/LUTS for many years and I think that this may be the reason of my sensitivity issues. At least the correlation is very strong. Unfortunately, when I stop using it, LUTS gets worse. HOWEVER, when I first started with hCG, all those...

This is the same story of most people our age in this forum. At some point I had my paycheck deposited directly at the VitaminShoppe, then switched to Amazon, all for naught. I understand, hypertension and blood clots are something to be concerned about with TRT. Same here, are copying me? ;-)...

As far as i understand, no. If there’s any deal it might be a kick back behind the sceen. As a matter of fact, the last doctor that prescribed it for me does not typically prescribe Enclomiphene, he uses clomid instead, he did so at my request, so i do not think there’s anything going on None...

I'm sorry for the mistake. It's actually $150/3 months. And I have obtained the prescriptions from regular urologists (2 different ones). I have discussed with them the pros/cons, then agree on the prescription and they fax it to Empower. 2 hours later I received a call from empower to confirm...

Couple of things: 1.- Be EXTREMELY careful with the results offered by chatGPT or Bard (or any LLM for that matter). They are very good at language, but very, very bad at content, and with an arrogance level almost matching Elon Musk's, they will authoritatively tell you things that are...

Unfortunately, I can't help you as I'm not from that area, but I sincerely hope that some of the good Texans in this forum can point you in the right direction. I know how you feel, the desperation, and I wish you the best of luck. I believe @Nelson Vergel lives in Texas or may know a good...

It seems you have a few metabolic issues. Dyslipidemia, low T3/T4, low estradiol, low hemoglobin. If I were you I'd be looking for an endocrinologist. If your current one is not paying you enough attention, find another one. This is primarily a testosterone forum, so most likely people are...

You're welcome. I do not know, but my assumption (maybe incorrectly) is that this it is just testosterone, otherwise it would have said which ester or method they used, so if you translate to T.Cyp that would be the equivalent of approximately 7 mg of T.Cyp a day or 50 mg/week, which arguably...

This was NOT the article I remember, but it points in a similar direction Regulation of human gonadotropins. VIII. suppression of serum LH and FSH in adult males following exogenous testosterone administration For what it's worth, this what chatGPT says: So I correct myself. It appears that...

Trying to find it now. Unfortunately, I don't always bookmark interesting things I read, mostly depending on where I read them. I may have read it wrong though, or maybe it was 6 mg. I can't recall now. As soon as I (and if) I find the article I'll post it here That was my understanding as...

I suspected it (though you never know nowadays) but had to brag anyway. The last portion of my comment was sort of acknowledging your sarcasm…in disguise with plausible deniability, to avoid WW3 in case you were being serious. there you go, I had to explain mine too… am I being too woke?

I guess I am a fucking woke communist pussy too...but guess I always knew that.

The most important thing you need is patience. I'm speaking from experience here. since I have a genetic disease that makes me produce no patience at all :-D. Try injecting 5 mg of t.Cyp M-W-F the first week (15 mg total), then the second week up the dosage to 10 mg for a total of 30 mg a week...

Couple of things: Is Empower Enclomiphene legit? I have no reasons or evidence to think it's not. I've taken it, about $70 for 3 months (assuming 12.5mg every day) You are deciding between Clomid and Enclomiphene. Here's an anecdote. I've taken Enclomiphene for the good part of two years, it...

I suffered from GERD for a number of years (since 2006). I could only bring under control without medication by losing weight (from 187 to 178lbs), cleaning my diet (absolutely no gluten, for more than a year, not too much fat in the diet, smaller portions, absolutely no eating after 7 PM)...
