Not sure why you didn't just keep taking the dhea and hold off on the trt - it was raising your testosterone levels to nearly 500 and you felt good......

As a suggestion as to what i found to be the (in my opinion) perfect anti anxiety med, it was a little know research benzo called Pyrazolam - Pyrazolam - Wikipedia It acts upon the a2 and a3 subtypes of GABA-A receptor, meaning it has virtually no sedative properties at all but excellent anti...

I was put on Sertraline some years ago. It was one of the worst experiences of my life - anxiety levels went through the roof, personality changed in such a way that i was unable to find anything amusing that i had done before, literally stopped me being able to laugh at anything. After...

I get what you're saying, and i (don't think) i care what other people think of me being natty or not either. It's more to do with my owm self perception of who or what i am. If my main ''thing' in life was not gym (sounds sad doesn't it?) but lets say, being a musician - i don't think i'd have...

The short notes for my story are - Got NHS tested (UK) around 2012, age 41, tested low normal. Tested two weeks later after taking DAA, tested much lower. Bought some black market clomid, took it, tested again about four weeks later, came back double my first tests value. No testing till last...

Yes, me. Ever since i recieved my first testosterone blood test back in around 2012, i've literally spent all my spare time reading up on testosterone, how to increase it, what things can lower it, how to replace it etc, etc, etc. I must have put the word 'testosterone' into Google more than...

You never mentioned who you were before the new handle....

I didn't get PFS type symptoms coming off proviron tbh. At that point anyhow the benefits i got at the start weren't really there (huge motivation increase, general great mood), i just kept taking it because i usually feel so rough when i wake up i'll try anything. The joint problems i got...

Unfortunately yes, for several months. I believed everything i'd read on the various forums (not this one, lol) about it not being suppresive. I was also taking low dose clomid which i thought would protect me. I only made the connection recently when i came across a study showing proviron...

Yep, sure does. Took mine from low 600's down to mid 200's

https://www.physiology.org/doi/full/10.1152/jappl.1997.82.1.49 Somewhat related study i believe - higher T levels with 40% cals from fat compared to 20%. Interesting about protein's influence too.

The picture in the link you posted says "Enclomiphene, aromatase inhibitor" - surely that's not right, it's a serm like regular clomid isn't it?

Hi all, Thought i'd update my thread with the results from my latest blood test done this Monday, 29th Oct. I'd appreciate anyone chipping in with an opinion. It's my 6th blood draw since June, i guess i've been hoping i'll eventually get one where everything"s great.... A couple of notes -...

No i appreciate that Mark, and you're right. I need to make a decision and stick with it. Probably the low testosterone making me indecisive...

Lol, good point about the two threads, i'll try and keep things here. I've been paying for all these tests so far, so i think i'll let the nhs deal with more thyroid testing (although, to be honest they probably don't test past tsh and t4 levels, not sure). My ferritin result was near the top...

Thanks for the reply Mark. Just wondering now if correcting any of these things is going to put my testosterone at a good level, or am i now at a point i should just accept replacing...

Thanks for replying Mark. Would improving any of these factors (thyroid, diet etc) have a significant affect on my testosterone though, or is this now at a replacement stage?

Hey guys. Just thought i'd update my status by showing you my results from a blood draw done two days ago. My complete story is in the clomid section, but i was hoping to get opinions on just this blood draw. I've been pretty much off serms now for a few weeks (i had a small, 12.5mg piece of...

Hey guys. Just thought i'd update my status by showing you my results from a blood draw done two days ago. I've been pretty much off serms now for a few weeks (i had a small, 12.5mg piece of clomid around two weeks before this test. I'd also had a few days two weeks before where i took 25mg...

Hi all, I've had a total of four blood tests over the past few months, all coming back low. I'm now wondering if i'm actually having them done when my test levels are lowest, as to be honest I feel my worst when i wake up in the morning and brighten up a few hours into the day. My latest...

Just to keep things up to date - took a blood test for testosterone and LH, on 6th Aug, several weeks after stopping clomid. Testosterone dropped to 8.68nmol/l, down from 11.7nmol/l when on clomid (250ng/dl down from 337ng/dl). LH on clomid had been 8.1 iu/l LH off clomid now 4.28 iu/l

To be honest, i don't really know that i did get several years out of it - i only had one blood test about a week after i started it, which came back at 21.4 nmol/l (617ng/dl). It might have dropped back a few weeks later, i just don't know. I bet though, that cycling clomid is more effective...

Interesting - now i have a name for my type of hypogonadism. Not primary, not secondary, but "compensated hypogonadism" "Criteria from the European Male Ageing study were used to determine gonadal status. Men were categorized as having compensated hypogonadism if their testosterone levels were...

Lol, of course, the Peak T forum! I'd forgotten how much i'd written about when i first joined up. About the pt-141, to be honest i didn't notice much from it other than a facial flushing effect. My libido at that time was already through the roof though, due to the sordid situation i was in (i...

Guided by voices - thank you very much for your insight on my situation. I've gotta say, i was playing in my mind with that exact idea about the hcg and cycling clomid. I'd read a study the other day (which i now can't find) that suggested something along the lines of the testes not being dead...

Thanks Nelson - as to kids, i've done all my breeding now, no more for me. I was really hoping something treatable might have been causing this though, like low thyroid, or varicoles etc. I've no fear of needles, i guess i was just hoping i could be cured.

Thanks Will - the competent doc part could be tricky!

Ok, thanks CoastWatcher

Guys, thanks for your help. I'll definitely look into the Dr you mentioned, it's a shame my holiday in two weeks isn't in Dorset else i could have just popped in while i was there!! One question though - at a reading of 337ng/dl, although low, is that still considered primary hypogonadism...

I'm in Birmingham, West Midlands CoastWatcher. Is there anything i could take that would improve the response of my testes? They obviously work 'a bit', i'm wondering if anything like certain vitamins, or even viagra which i read increases testosterone through a means not related to LH (and my...

Hi everyone. Long time member, first time really stuck as to what to do. Currently 46 years old, nearly 47. Got my testosterone levels checked around 6 years ago - they were low "normal" (lol!). Two tests were around the low 300's if we're talking ng/dl. This is in the U.K, on the nhs. I self...
