Off to get an appointment with my hematologist stat and get a bilateral venous ultrasound ordered to check for any non-occulsive DVTs which is mentioned in that paper you sent and what I had before.

Oh well, too late on the cardio workouts. I feel fine during and after. I forgot to mention that I'm already on anticoagulant therapy (Xarelto 10mg) since 2014 as prophylaxis. CBC showed slight anemia + low WBCs - likely due tothe C-19 infection according to my doc.

I am trying to makes sense from my latest bloodwork. My main concern is whether these elevations (see attached) are likely due to the Covid infection I had 30 days prior to the blood draw and not due to my 3 mo.of 25mg/day enclomiphene regimen. Of note: I had a clot of unknown original form in...

Let me rephrase this so it's in better context. I got excellent response to enclomiphene after raising the dose to 25mg per day. I had a bout of Covid at the beginning of November. I did my labs at the end of November at which point my FSH, LH and T levels had dropped instead on increased...

Update: I have kept on with the dose of 25mg/day for another 47 days and now my levels have actually dropped when I expected them to be higher: TT: 647 FT: 69.5 FSH: 6.1 LH: 4.5 As well, E2 decreased to 20 and IGF-1 increased to 323. Could it be that SERMS like enclomiphene spike initially...

Your 02 desaturation (<90%) is minimal, so it is unlikely any symptoms are caused by OSA. Nonetheless, an oximeter would provide you with immediate, clear-cut monitoring. I use this one every night and it connects via bluetooth to my phone app and desktop software. But I have moderate OSA and am...

I am not obese by any stretch and experienced gastroparesis, gallbladder sludge and now stones due to being on a GLP-1 for a little over a month. This was NOT from any weight loss, mind you. These are known side effects. I expect more users of these GLP-1 meds to have significant gut issues as...

I guess my HPTA is functioning after all... https://www.excelmale.com/forum/threads/first-month-on-enclomiphene-%E2%80%93-no-change.28410/page-2

Excellent drug and far superior to any of the other beta blockers. Great anti-aging tool as well. On 5mg/day. No sides at that dose.

I don't think the floaters have anything to do with Enclomiphene since it is void of the zuclomiphene isomer which is responsible for all the negative side effects associated with Clomid.

Assuming you did intra-articular injection without ultrasound guidance, how do you know you were actually administering into the joint?

UPDATE: As I previously posted, the first 27 days @ 12.5mg were a dud. I take my dose first thing in a.m. on empty stomach, water only. I stayed @ 12.5mg for another 12 days then increased to 25mg for 39 days at which time I did a blood draw. Finally, some movement (see below). 74% increase in...

63. Been lifting 4-5 days/week. Got conflicting advice from different surgeons. One agrees with you, the other said if it ain't broke don't fix it. I am going for a 3rd opinion soon.

I have zero symptoms, wouldn't even know they exist if it weren't for incidental finding on a CT scan. Conflicted as to whether to get the repair or not. Would rather avoid it and proceed with my other unrelated procedures.

Did you have symptoms preop?

I assume you had mesh procedure? Laparoscopic or open?

Just diagnosed with bilateral inguinal hernia. Asymptomatic. Incidental finding, so who knows how long I've had them. Opinions as to whether to repair or watchful wait vary widely. This would precede my diastasis recti/umbilical hernia repair surgery. Advice appreciated.

Don't know why PS even keeps these old older peptide around. No one I know uses sermorelin or GHRP-2 or 6 much anymore.

No noticeable difference yet on enclomiphene. Another compound you might want to try is a bioregulatatory peptide called Testagen. I started it but ran out, so didn't have a chance yet o evaluiate it.

Whatever increase I might have observed early on was short-lived and I've moved on to other compounds (enclomiphene).

The fact you have an umbilical hernia indicates that there is some sort of intra-abdominal pressure causing that to happen. That is a 2015 photo before all this started but shows the beginning of possible DR where that diamond indentation is. I am about 20lbs heavier now and with severe DR...

Update: Surgeon says I will first need to address the intra-abdominal visceral fat. If I do not, the repairs will be under a tremendous amount of pressure and subsequently will likely fail, leaving me right back where I started. What I again can’t figure out is how it’s possible I have have...

It is possible that something your ingesting is blocking absorption of iron. Phytates in foods, turmeric, milk thistle, certain meds are all chelators/inhibitors. Or - you have gut issues which are contributing to malabsorption. I have similar issue (see my post above) and don't have any other...

Then what else do you suggest when after a month, no change in levels in my case?

Started on 12.5mg/day on July 26. Rx from Empower Pharmacy. Took my dose first thing in the morning with water only. After 27 days, no change at all in total (443), free or bioavailable T nor any change in E2, FSH/LH. I also expected to see a drop in IGF-1 since enclomiphene is supposed to...

Update: I've come a long way since my initial post when I had no clue what was going on with my abdomen. Thanks to BigTex for calling it out at the get go. I finally found my answers and hopefully the expert surgeon to correct these defects. I didn't want to report back until I had my...

Out of all the stem cell/PRP providers, Regenexx seems to have done their homework and has the most factual data to back up their claims. The only thing I would say is to make sure and get inflammation under control before doing any orthobiologic treatment otherwise it will all be for nothing.

Exactly. Sleep with dogs, wake up with fleas. Par for the course.

https://support.maximustribe.com/en/articles/6325759-are-blood-clots-a-side-effect-of-enclomiphene-king-protocol Since it is the zuclomiphene isomer in clomid that accounts for many of the unwanted side effects, including blood clots (as detailed in this paper), why would there even be a...

Does anyone know of a way to contact Empower directly? Completely inefficient and incompetent running all calls through a call center in India that won't provide a direct #. Not acceptable.
