What were your E2 levels before and after taking both clomid and enclomiphene?

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, why would there even be a theoretical concern in using...

Wouldn't it be more prudent to use something like preg or DHEA to optimize E2 levels and help restore libido? The zuclomiphene isomer has so many other drawbacks I would be concerned about (ocular issues, blood coagulation, etc.).

Have not heard of a drop from enclomiphene. And what would be the reason you want to add in clomid? Estrogen too low?

Empower Pharmacy is the only one I know of. There are others marketing it like Maximus, but the markup is huge. Cheapest I have found is to have your get your doc write a scrip for it and fax it in to Empower.

First impression of Empower is that they are extremely inefficient. It appears that incoming calls go through some sort of second-rate call center in India, then are screened and you're on a wait time with other calls ahead of you, then you're put on hold while they look up your scrip. Too many...

My copper levels are within range.

Can anyone hack these values and tell me how one can continue to have normal-high serum iron levels, occasional high % sat, low normal hct/hgb/rbcs and low normal ferritin? Not on TRT, negative for any internal bleeding. I do seem to fit the description of "iron avidity" as described here, but...

That being said, I assume no increase in E2? Anyone else notice an increase? Would it not make sense that since testosterone is increased, so too would E2 from normal aromatization.

What's your dose and frequency? Pre and post wo? Some reports of it causing bubble gut. Something I definitely don't need.

Curious, why would someone want to use DES instead of LR3? Only reason I can think of is DES will give immediate short term pump and has to be site injected (i.e. bilat biceps) whereas LR3 has a much longer half-life and is systemic. Do you see spikes in IGF-1? Insulin? Glucose? Using it for...

A followup to the Fourier Trial: Study Alleges Mortality Miscount in FOURIER Trial; TIMI Group Disagrees https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/986634?icd=login_success_email_match_norm Doesn't give me much confidence.

Thanks. Here are some links of concern: Doubling of Hemoglobin A1c on PCSK9 Inhibitor Therapy Restoring mortality data in the FOURIER cardiovascular outcomes trial of evolocumab in patients with cardiovascular disease: a reanalysis based on regulatory data The latter study casts further doubt...

I have a scrip for Repatha but haven't yet started. Covered by insurance so cost not an issue. Was concerned that LDL would go too low and cause issues. Also, side effects. Read that it can cause hyperglycemia (diabetes). Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the response. I am 63, with some issues (hypertension, past blood clot, sleep apnea) for which I am being treated and stable. Both TT and FT are less than optimal. I wanted to first try compounds that could help optimize T levels naturally so I started with herbal boosters and...

Thanks. That is ~27% cheaper than Defy's price for 12.5mg, I believe also sourced from Empower. I assume your doc isn't tacking on any profit. What symptoms did you feel were not resolved? Any side effects similar tyo clomiphene (i.e. ocular impairment)? Did you observe any changes in body...

$70 for 3 months = $0.78 per capsule. If that is correct, may I ask the clinic you're getting that prescribed from?

Does anyone know if there are other clinics than Defy that can prescribe enclomiphene?

We like all the anti-aging, anti-cancer, cardio-protective, gut-enhancing, cognitive, anti-diabetic, etc. benefits of a long-standing and safe drug as metformin, but hate the drawbacks of reduced mitochondrial function, testosterone, B12 and muscle mass. What about this stack to counter these...

I am going on one year of my Metformin trial. I am not diabetic. I started it for its many benefits beyond its primary use as an anti-hyperglycemic agent. I started with 500mg b.i.d. of XR and went as high as 2g/day total, now at 1500mg. I, however, have it particularly weak in reducing my...

Trigs: 100 Recently had a lumbar MRI: Mild to moderate degenerative disc disease L1-L2. Mild right paracentral disc bulge. Mild narrowing of the right lateral recess. Disc touches the right 2nd nerve. Mild to moderate degenerative disc disease L5-S1. No stenosis. Osteophyte (bone spur) touches...

DR update. Video here so you can better see what has happened. This is how I used to look back in 2014 and 2015 before all this started. As you can see I did not have an umbilical hernia and my abs were normal. I still don't know exactly why this happened. All I know is that it was very gradual.

The B12 depletion is the least of the worries with taking met. Just take 1-5 mg methylB12, problem solved. My serum B12 is always elevated, despite taking 1500mg met daily because I supplement. Do not take the cheap, toxic cyano B12, it's crap and doesn't get absorbed well. I recommend this one...

For those with experience with GH, peptides, IGF-1... Some quick background: First signs of trigger finger, carpal/cubital tunnel (numbness) started in early 2019. Had TF surgery (percutaneous release) in June, 2020 - successful outcome. Slow progression in a few other digits since, but no...

I was using the CJC-1295/IPAMORELIN blend at a dose of 200/200mcg - I actually enjoy the transient moderate euphoric head rush. Does anyone know what the mechanism behind that is? It seems that it's from the CJC, nit the ipa.

I'm surprised this has not been addressed again in more recent threads and would appreciate a refresh and update on this topic for those that are using this compound. I was on KS-10 for approx. 3 mos. but am putting it on hold until I can get a better grasp on this concern.

Any concerns with KS-10 and its potential pro-atherogenic, pro-iflammatory downside that has been addressed before here?

I'm not on TRT and now wonder how bad ferritin would plummet if I were to be! I do not have HH (I have 1 copy of H63D, carrier of hemochromatosis, unaffected since I'm not also a C282Y hemochromatosis carrier). My electrophoresis test results are all within range. Here's something I have to...

Saw this thread and here goes: Normal serum iron, low ferritin (idiopathic hypoferritinemia) moderate anemia (low or low normal HCT/HGB/RBCs) no evidence of bleeding on colonoscopy, EGD, capsule endo, negative FOBT. Latest iron labs: Tried every oral iron form (always with vitamin C)...

Update: Cycled off the GH secretagogue peptides for about a week (continued with BPC-157, TB-500). Not only is the carpal tunnel continuing to be an issue, but my existing trigger finger got much worse as well and has spread to my other digits and even thumbs which I never had a problem with...

I don't believe TMC has much of any injectable peptides available since the FDA investigation a couple years back and more recent product recalls. PS is the only one I trust now + the practitoner markups of pharma peptides are ridiculous. I have had thje PS peptides 3rd-party tested and all came...
