    Infrequent dosing to avoid shutdown…

    basically any amount of exogenous test, is likely going to shut you down over the long term. I guess if you were doing like 10 mg a week, you may still have some natural production. I don't know if anyone is going to know the answer to your question

    enclomphiene moving to Test

    I was on enclo at 12.5mg per day for about 6-7 months. The first month, I felt good and registered a total T of 620 and free test almost midway range. Last test at same dosage came in at 470, and free t, at bottom of range. Knowing that most move to T. And I didn't want to double dosage to 25mg...

    Any new discoveries on Low SHBG curse ?

    I'm a newbie here. I can't understand why having a low SHBG would cause issues on TRT. To me it seems(from reading) If you had a lower SHBG, you would need less mg per week of T, because there is less SHBG to bind to the T and the result would be higher free T(what counts) compared to someone...

    Lab results, first month on enclomiphene

    Just an update. I tried going to 12.5 every OTHER day for the last month or so. Really I am just trying to get a feel of where I feel best and to ensure the symptoms I am feeling and get relief from, is really low T. Over the last few weeks. I have started to get dry skin,dry eyes, lower energy...

    Lab results, first month on enclomiphene

    @PhilM7 wow only twice a week. I am wondering how that will work for you. I have been toying with doing EOD. I am 600+ after one month, most thing I read, that if i continue everyday, i will see further increases for another month or so before leveling off. Also wondering if EOD, makes the eye...

    Lab results, first month on enclomiphene

    @PhilM7 I have noticed the same and you might be right. How long have you been on enclomiphene. What have been your results with symptoms and numbers? Any other sides then what you just indicated? I am not a huge fan of eye effects. Have your floaters changed at all since being on it?

    Lab results, first month on enclomiphene

    @mcs I understand thats the theory, but honestly I don't think thats ever been proven. Many medications appear to have eye floaters as a side effect. I'll ask my urologist next week and see what they think

    Lab results, first month on enclomiphene

    @Systemlord Thank you. I don't think anyone knows what receptors enclomiphene or clomid actually block. we know it blocks the pituitary area/feedback loop. But it certainly doesn't lower estrogen in the body as mine went up. We also know since I got sensitive nipples it doesn't block that...

    Lab results, first month on enclomiphene

    I started enclomiphene about a month ago, after 2 labs came back with total T of 220 and 330. 12.5mg per day. I noticed a pick up in energy, libido, and some of the aches and pains I have had for awhile, just disappeared. I had dry eyes about zoloft and lasik, and noticed increased tear...

    Do I qualify for HRT? Posting my Blood Test Results.

    By your test results, I would think you would qualify. However, your RBC's are already high. Which will go up on TRT

    Thinking about starting trt

    t boosters have no studies behind them, likely snakeoil with that said, if I was your age with a 400 total, if my free was semi reasonable. I would wait on trt.

    @tropicaldaze1950 is there any consensus? I see some evidence the longer acting, has lower effect on lips and RBC's.

    So who is happy with TRT? Who wish they never started?

    @Systemlord so if its test undecanote. is it because its not going directly into the blood on why it has to be taken twice daily? Did you try test undecanote injections? I have heard some evidence, that the longer acting esters , provide more stable levels, and less downsides, such as lipids...

    jatenzo is the oral test right? Unfortunately, since insurance doesn't cover this, I've looked and I can't afford it. Maybe in the future prices will come down

    So who is happy with TRT? Who wish they never started?

    yeah, well thats sorta the issue, i would say there is a negative bias here on trt from the posts. Seems people are all messing with their bloodwork constantly. This is high, this is a low. I have no libido. instead of just living your life

    My total test level was 230. Obviously low. My question is for anyone that was this low, and did HRT help you? Any other tests you would recommend before going to an HRT doctor? Thank you
