    Measure your Body Fat plus Muscle Quality with Sculpt Chisel

    I've been using the skulpt chisel for awhile now. While not as accurate as a DEXA scan, its accurate enough for tracking progress on a daily basis with a one time fee of $100. Like calipers placement is important with the skulpt and it takes some experimenting to find the right area for...

    I know someone who tested negative to celiac using the blood test, but had a biopsy and was confirmed to have celiac disease. If gluten is really bothering you might be worth considering, or just avoid gluten.

    Three Weeks on Clomid - Lab Results

    I will be starting TRT, first injection is scheduled for tomorrow. I will be starting off with weekly injections of testosterone and twice a week injections of HCG. I will most likely eventually go to twice a week testosterone injections since that seems to be the most widely recommended schedule.

    Three Weeks on Clomid - Lab Results

    My final update for clomid. After being on clomid for around 2 months now and after a follow up appointment, it was decided clomid is not going to work for me.

    Why Clomid Fails: The Zuclomiphene Threshold

    Very interesting, I've been on 12.5mg of clomid for about 6 weeks now. I have not felt a significant change either up or down. I wonder how my body would react to 25mg a day, or would that push me to that threshold and cause me to feel worse.

    39, low t symptoms t isn't as low as I expected.

    I'm far from an expert and hopefully the experienced guys will chime in, but your numbers are close to mine. Your T is still low even if not extremely low, I think that with the low estrogen levels and the low DHEA levels are contributing to your symptoms. I attempted everything I could to get...

    Restart Update: Low Dose Clomid

    I'm curious if your body just needs more time for the testosterone production to catch up with the LH and FSH. As your testosterone levels increase your E2 will hopefully rise to a better range. My E2 was around 15 with testosterone levels in the 400, and the Doctor said my E2 was were he...

    You say an estradiol sensitive test of 15 is too low. I'm curious about that my estradiol was 15.1 but the range listed is 8-35. If 15 is low what is the ideal range?
