I was put on injections for 3 weeks before another doc took me off and said he would rather be conservitive, given my age and fertility issues with T, and put me on clomid instead. Both docs don't seem competent but we will see what he says tomorrow. I am sure he will suggest something other...

Thank you for the response Nelson. Wouldn't 75mg exuberate the side effects I am currently enduring? 25mg ED is causing insomnia and irritability along with loss of libido. Wouldn't 75mg make that worse?

I am re-posting this from my other older thread that seems to have gotten lost: Alright so I went for bloodwork at about the 6 week mark of starting clomid 25mg/ED. I will post the blood work below. Please inform me of my next option. I am going to see the doc and am looking for guidance on...

Alright so I went for bloodwork at about the 6 week mark of starting clomid 25mg/ED. I will post the blood work below. Please inform me of my next option. I am going to see the doc and am looking for guidance on what to expect and what to propose. In short, my TT went up only 60 points. My Free...

Naturally...My apologies for the ignorant question. Thank you.

Thanks. I will probably wait 5 because I'm eager to get tested. Thanks for taking the time to respond Doc. I will bring this up to my practitioner during my next appointment. Whats the next recommended dose after 25mg ED if you are looking to lower? 12.5mg ED? 25mg EOD? I am just looking for...

I read this before posting but I'm not sure what to take from it. It doesn't say anything on how to combat zuclimiphene or what to do. 25mg is still a low dose. How long is wise to wait before getting blood drawn on clomid therapy?

I am now 2.5 weeks in on 25mg ED clomid and my libido is officially shot. It was better before starting therapy at all. I was going to get blood drawn at 5 weeks but this is killing me. Is it too soon to test yet? How much longer for my hormones to stabilize for a more accurate reading. I am...

Alright so here is a 1 week update. I took my first pill last Wednesday (1/2 pill- 25mg), two days after my last shot of 100mg Test Cyp. The first two days I felt amazing. Loads of energy and just a great overall sense of well being. I am going to attribute this to my already elevated T levels...

Thanks for the response. I already read all of these studies so it seems promising. I just hope my E2 doesn't go sky high. How long until you experience sides from high E2 (ie; gyno, moodiness, libido issues, etc)? Can Gyno be reversed if it is from high E2 resulting from clomid? Just curious...

So after more research, I have decided that yesterday was my last injection and will be starting CC tomorrow at 25mg ed. Thank you everyone for the help. I will be updating this thread periodically to help others who are in the same boat as me, just as you guys have helped me. I will be getting...

Thanks. My Free T was: 79 pg/mL (46-224) 10.6 pg/mL (8.7-25.1) Unfortunately, I am fed up with being unable to find a doc that can correctly deal with this so I am going to wind up using the Doc I just seen. It just bothers be that he finds 400-500's normal... How would I go about doing a...

Before injections LH - 3.9 mIU/Ml (1.5-9.3) FSH - 8.3 mIU/mL (1.6-8.0) HIGH SHBG - 20 nmol/L (10-50) HCG wasn't prescribed. My first Doc (the one that started me on TRT) said fertility isn't a problem with a low dose of TRT. That among other things made me want to seek out a better qualified...

Hey Guys, I have been on TRT for 2 weeks now and had my 3rd shot yesterday. Just some quick numbers before starting TRT: First test done in afternoon (3pm)- TT 332 Second test done 3hrs after waking (7am)- TT 421 Third test Early evening (5pm) TT 213 31 years old I was having all the common...

Looking forward to it!

muscle? is it fat?

This is awesome. How long before you started TRT did you start noticing the fat loss and strength gains/cuts? I started 2.5 weeks ago and just notice I am not as tired during the day as I used to me. That, and I am more motivated to do things, including going to the gym, but still feel weak.

That's TSA for you!

Yes, I forgot about my erect nips also! They come and go thankfully and are not constant. Your experience makes me feel better so thanks for sharing. Did the Doc say when the sensitivity will finally subside?

I have been wondering about this also. You are allowed to bring the needles and Test in a carry on? Anyone ever have any issues when traveling internationally?

The first test: FSH-8.3 (1.6-8.0) OUT OF RANGE LH-3.9 (1.5-9.3) Surprisingly, they were never tested again. I say testicular failure, not only because of that FSH number, but because I had a hernia as a new born and my left testicle never descended on its own and need surgery. Then in my early...

I forgot to mention I am pretty sure it was tested with the regular assay and not the sensitive. So we don't know when the issues with high e2 (ie; gyno) come into play, huh? Varies number to number and person to person? I'm glad to hear those numbers were good. I can't imagine any other cause...

I wonder if this is what I'm going to be in for. My SHBG was low normal and so was my Free Test. Haven't read what that's supposed to mean in any books thus far, but only one being high and the other low. Thanks for the explanation. Sorry for hijacking.

I suppose. I'm forgetful as it is and I am already trying to figure out how to hide this whole thing when I spend the weekend over some friends or family and I need to take my shot once a week, let alone daily. (I'm very personal and private so I don't like many people knowing my business)

The first test was 26 and the last tests was 29, early afternoon and early evening respectively. I read not to go above 30 although I have also read that people feel best in mid 30's. All this reading is confusing! Is the best overall protocol from blood still first thing in the morning? I...

Just curious, but what is the reasoning of daily injections aside from a more steady level of T? Seems cumbersome and can't imagine it being much stable and better than 2x/week to make up for the hassle of daily shots.

Ah, thank you for that explanation.

My other concern was that since my e2 was already in the upper end of healthy before trt, and the addition of trt will only naturally raise e2, my e2 is above normal. That was my logic of thinking anyway...

Well this is a relief to hear, thank you for the response. So when they say you want your T level between 500-900, they mean when tested in trough? If you don't mind, can you elaborate when you say estradiol is not the enemy of man? I'm in the middle of reading Nelson's book and completed...

Hey guys, I just started my second week of 100mg/wk. My right nipple has been getting itchy starting the day after my injection and last a couple of days, no soreness or tenderness. I also put on about 6lbs which has to be water as I haven't changed my diet and my clothes are fitting the same...

What's your Free Test? Bio Test? E2? Post the blood results. You probably don't even need to be on TRT and there is another underlying issue.
