Looks like the study was right! Only 1 million under "normal," And according to the study should keep climbing.

So got my Hereditary hemochromatosis result back. Apparently I have one mutation for it, but it takes 2 for it to be significant from what my Dr told me. COMPONENT YOUR VALUE STANDARD RANGE FLAG HEMOCHROMATOSIS RESULT One Mutation detected (C282Y) DNA MUTATION ANALYSIS RESULT...

Yes I was taking vitamin c around lunch time daily, which I have stopped at this point.

Just searching around I wonder if it could be Primary familial and congenital polycythemia (PFCP) https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK395975/ Laboratory findings Complete blood count that shows isolated absolute erythrocytosis: Normal platelet and white cell counts, which demonstrate...

It was just one of those take home tests that you wear for a night, not a full sleep study. Maybe Ill push them for a full study. Also never a smoker, and only live at 300 ft altitude. This is my pre-clomid, pre-hcg cbc from August of last year: COMPONENT YOUR VALUE STANDARD RANGE FLAG...

Sleep apnea test showed snoring, but no spnea. Polycythemia and Polycythemia vera tests came back negative. Dr. is running a hereditary hemochromotosis test that hasn't came back yet. Even prior to starting clomid/hcg my cbc was high normal. Here are some more labs, I have many more so if...

So I have a call into Defy after my General Practitioner running labs for my annual physical, but they are closed for the weekend so I was just seeing what you all think of these #'s for now. I have been doing regular blood donations (3 since last October.) I am currently 3 months on a high...

I'm down 5.5lbs in 72 days with the same workout and diet plan I've been on for years, with no cardio. My dry weight never moved more than .2lbs prior to hcg. I actually came here to make a post asking about this exact thing.

It's been tested, to clarify what I stated above : HCG + Armidex: Estradiol = 43pg/ml. Standard range =8 - 43 pg/mL

Its compounded, and I'm going through Defy. The last batch I ordered from them came through Empower pharmacy.

.25 Airmidex 2x week Pre clomid/ natural #:43pg/ml Clomid +Armi: 34pg/ml HCG + Armi: 43pg/ml

So I just got off of 6 months of low dose Clomid for low T and fertility. Clomid did a great job of raising my test from a low of 270tt before, to 885tt at its peak 25mg/day. Clomid just left me with a hollow feeling, I never really felt good, or bad just meh. After 6 months my SA went from...

For anyone going through the same issue I found a solution. After a month of getting rejected from donating through the local blood bank I decided to try a redcross blood drive, because they test hemoglobin instead of hematocrit. And they took my blood no problem. I will be going that route from...

This is the study: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8554431 Human chorionic gonadotropin adjuvant therapy for patients with Leydig cell dysfunction after varicocelectomy.Yamamoto M1, Hibi H, Katsuno S, Miyake K. [h=3]Author information[/b] [h=3]Abstract[/b]The authors treated 135 men who...

See this, THIS is good info. I read a study about the benefits of HCG for patients after vericocele surgery. No Dr's would listen, and was put on clomid instead.

Congrats! Did the HCG help at all? Did you take them at the same time?

Awesome that actually helps a lot. How long were you on for total? Did you ever have a kid?

No just clomid/airmidex, fish oil, vit c, multi vit, selenium (for hashimotos). I had vericocele surgery a year and a half ago. I went from almost zero sperm then to where I am at now from surgery+clomid. We just want to be able to do iui instead of ivf. And it looks like they want 10mil...

Thank you, looks like it may be worth exploring.

So the count jumped from 6 million ml to 11 million ml, but everything else tanked, essentially making both test the same 7.2 million motile to 7.3 million. Should I just stop the Clomid and hope the quality goes back up? Any help or insite would be great.

Appreciate the info!

I believe I was well hydrated 9am and half gallon of water on board already, with over a gal the previous 2 days. She only said iron, I said how is my hematocrit, and she said that's what we tested it was 62. The blood test was the very next day so there is no way my hematocrit could drop like...

I was going to donate blood which I do every three months and after the finger stick test they told me my iron was "Way to high," and if "I had ever been told I have high iron." So naturally I get a little worried and go to the Dr for labs. I can't see any reason I would have been denied from...

The last one was just a donation. My iron was 55 and they warned me if it went up I wouldn't be able to donate

The phlebotomys have kept my #s in check besides my iron and tibc. Full cbc panel ran yesterday came back perfect. Will there be any issue continuing the Clomid with my iron levels raised? Again I know doing therapeutic phlebotomys will reduce the iron concentration, but it's obviously...

I am just wondering if anyone else has had excessive iron absorption while taking clomid. Below are my pre clomid #s and after 2 months iron levels. I did a blood donation in November after getting that #. I also attempted to give blood a couple of days ago, and was unable to because my...

Thanks, and agreed!

I don't know what happened but this week my strength started making big leaps on every lift, and I am having pro-hormone like pumps post workout. Is this common, or should I just enjoy it while it lasts?

I know my Dr. was worried about polycythemia vera, after my August results, but test went in my favor on that one. And yes I was natty in 2015. JAK2 MUTATION NEGATIVE pg/uL pg/uL ERYTHROPOETIN Value: 11 mU/mL Range: 4 - 27 mU/mL TRANSFERRIN on 11/1/16 Value:219 mg/dL Range:188 - 341...

Edited: after looking at the label, my current and previous multi do not contain iron. I heard vit C can increase iron absorption, and that wasn't added to my diet until early November. A few days ago I switched to ester-c because it isn't supposed to absorb iron as badly. Other than that my...

The 55 on 12/27/17 was a finger poke test at the blood donation clinic. I have a lot of other labs as well if needed, but these are the main blood ones. Meds are 12.5mg clomid daily, vitamin c 500 mg 3x day, arimidex 2x a week, multi vit, fish oil, selenium. Only medical conditions are low t...
