I remember Dr Crisler saying that guys need to have the sensitive estradiol test rather than the standard estradiol test as the latter only applies to women. Can someone confirm if this is correct and, if so, why it's important to have the sensitive estradiol test?

Has anyone here tried to make their own testosterone cream/gel? I'd imagine it would not be too difficult and would save you a lot of money over the long term.

I've been taking enclomiphene for the past 2 weeks. The first week was at 25mg/day but I dropped the dose down to 25mg eod with 5mg/day cialis this past week because of ED during the first week. During this last week I've had no ED but cannot ejaculate. I'm not taking any other meds. I took...

I'd like to get feedback on thymosin alpha-1 from anyone who has taken it. What dose did you take, what did you take it for and what benefits and side effects did you experience? Thanks.

Just got my thyroid blood test results back. Currently not taking anything. Have been off Enclomiphene for nearly 3 months. Do these results indicate sub optimal thyroid function? If so, what are some ways I can improve it? TSH 2.41 (range 0.40 - 4.0) mIU/L Free T4 13.6 (range 9.0 - 25.0)...

I've heard some guys say they get a big libido boost from using recombinant FSH. Has anyone here experienced the same?

I'm contemplating going back on testosterone and hCG after failing to resolve symptoms with enclomiphene. My protocol will be 30mg testosterone cypionate and 350iu hCG every 3 days. Would it be best to take the hCG shot the day before my testosterone shot or on the same day? Fwiw, my SHBG sits...

Does anyone know why the clinical trials for enclomiphene ended prematurely? Was it because of low participant satisfaction or some other reason?

The so called honeymoon period that occurs when guys begin TRT lasts on average just 2-3 weeks for most guys. For guys with secondary hypogonadism, I wonder if something like 2 weeks of a fast acting and fast clearing testosterone such as propionate, TNE in oil or test cream followed by 3 weeks...

I've read a lot of guys, including Nelson are taking testosterone cypionate or enanthate on the same day as their hCG shot every 3 days. What is the rationale for this given that they both have very different half lives i. e. about 8 days for testosterone cypionate and enanthate and just 24 -...

Sorry Nelson, I did not put @Nelson Vergel on 2 of my posts. I only put it for one of them. The first question was asking you if there is any evidence that oxandrolone strengthens tendons or other connective tissue and the second question was asking you if you had tried UC-II collagen and if so...

Whenever I've taken either Ibuprofen or caffeine (Ibuprofen more so), libido & frequency of erections shoot right up. I'm not taking any exogenous hormones right now & I have low LH and low DHT. Does Ibuprofen and caffeine increase LH or DHT?

Just a heads up about the "enclomiphene" sold in India under the brand of "En-Clofert". When I sent an email enquiry to alldaygeneric.com to ask if they accept prescriptions from foreign doctors, they quickly replied that they do and that En-Clofert was in stock and ready to ship to me as soon...

Does DHT lower estradiol, or just reduce some of its effects? If DHT is too high, can it cause muscle or joint pain?

I've been taking Clomid at a dose of 12.5mg eod for the past 3 weeks. I'm ready to quit, because I'm convinced that it is causing major inflammation in my body. During the first week, after not doing any exercise other than gentle walking, my right hip began to feel very painful. I also...

For the guys who have used compounded testosterone cream, how long did it take before your libido was at its highest? Also, if one were to have blood work done 2 weeks after starting on a testosterone cream/gel, would testosterone levels likely be higher than if the blood work was done 4-6...

Is anyone aware of any studies that have been done on clomid using a dose as low as 12.5mg eod? I've read so many accounts both here and on other forums from guys who have increased their TT and FT to near the top of the normal reference range on such a low dose, but I've been unable to find any...

Hey guys, my endo has just prescribed me clomid for secondary hypogonadism that I believe was induced by taking Accutane back in the mid 90's. He has instructed me to take 50mg eod for 2 months and then get blood work done again. The blood work he wants me to do is just testosterone, SHBG, LH...
