I feel okay, thinking the dizziness might of been from dieting and lack of sleep (new baby). Libido is good (not like I was when I was 18, but good), no ED issues, strength has actually increased after being off Clomid this long. I hit my PR on deadlift with (505lbs x 4 reps), so felt good about...

Here's the iron, ferritin, and E2 tests. The doctor told me he had an endocrinologist look at my thyroid tests, and didn't see the need to test further.

Nice! I'm in software, so no medical background. My wife is biomedical science, so she's been helping some, too. I'll see if I can get tests ordered this week. I'll post results here! Thanks again!

Thanks for all the helpful information. May I ask what your occupation/background is? You're very knowledgable, and appreciate all the help, really do! I forwarded all your suggestions to my doctor, and will see if I can get tests run this week at CPL.

so the main reason for doing all of this is due to how I feel lately... I've been very "foggy" in the head, sort of the feeling someone would get coming off a caffeine high. I experience sweaty faint spells from time to time, if I don't have the right balance of food. I have noticed that if I...

I'll get the Reverse T3 test done this week. Anything else I should test for?

I wanted to try Tongkat Ali LJ100, but heard a lot of fakes are circulating. I could research Amazon and Google all day, but figured it'd be easier to just ask. I'm in the US, so looking for a distributor stateside.

so what is the root cause of high/elevated SHBG? Anything to worry about or research further as it pertains to my overall health? Seems like if I could lower SHBG it would improve Free T since it would no longer be bound up.

Do any supplements actually lower SHBG? I was reading Boron, DIM, I3C, and all this stuff. I'm skeptical of supplement claims. I'd be happy if I could get it down in the 50s, but that's a significant reduction from my current level. I guess I'm curious if I should take supplements to help...

Thanks for all that, Mark. I did have Thyroid AB done October 10, 2017 of last year, and my thyroid levels were the same, so not sure...

Thanks Mark! I do not, live in Texas, and possible sleep apnea. I've never had a sleep study, but my wife says I snore a lot at night. I'll ask my doctor to order those tests. He's direct primary care, so shouldn't be an issue. Curious, is there a way to get SHBG back into normal range?

Hey guys, I had Nelson look over my blood work a few months ago. I was retested last Friday, all my levels. My doctor told me nothing to be concerned about, but wanted to discuss during my physical next week. I noticed a few things were different, and elevated slightly, so I was concerned. Do...

Trying to find someone who has experience/knowledge with TRT and men's hormones. Tired of paying money for meet and greet with doctors only to be disappointed. Thanks!

Oh nice! Thanks! Good to see what y'all are taking, too. I guess it's not abnormal to take that many. :)

Anything wrong with taking the following longterm? Also, I'm on Clomid, which is reasoning/thinking behind some of the things on this list. I didn't know if this looked excessive, but I do feel some of these things do help. I can personally say Cissus has reduced joint pain for me...

ah! thanks :) sorry new to the lingo

Thanks. I might try splitting into quarters. What is E3D?

Thanks, Vince. The pills only come in 50mg, and I've been using a pill splitter to get 25mg, so do you think I could do 25mg every 3 days? I wish there was a way to prevent E2 from rising so much. I've tried herbal supplements - don't work. Guess that's the drawback to Clomid. Also, I've noticed...

Doctor's here won't prescribe Clomid for low-t, and if they do, insurance won't cover, so it's usually $$$. It was $90 for 25 pills of 50mg here in town. I can get 120 pills @ 50mg for same price overseas. It's the same manufacturer, too, so I don't get why they're so expensive here in the US.

I've been taking Clomid for 2 years at different dosages. It's really been an experiment since I'm 37yo, and want to preserve my fertility for a few more years. I've had my labs done every 6-8 months. The biggest issue for me has been keeping E2 low and SHBG within normal ranges. I'll post my...

I'm going to run this protocol: and will get full blood work again in 8 weeks, sort of research, seeing if this actually changes anything... determined to get this right... I'll post in a separate thread (log) my results, as well as supplement brands used. Clomid: 25MG EOD Estrogen and SHBG...

Yes, levels dropped due to absence of Clomid. I don't want TRT (gel, injections, pellets). My doctor was curious about my results. I started taking Clomid every other day, instead of every day. My wife is a biomedical science major, she did some research, apparently levels are about right if...

I've took Clomid 25mg ED for a year, and my results are below. I suspect my t levels will continue to drop following the discontinuation of Clomid, so I am doing 25mg EOD, instead of ED. My question is, how do you keep E levels at the preferred range, and SHBG from getting too high, or is this...

I don't have a TRT protocol. I had a doctor prescribe me Clomid, initially, but it was $55 for 30 pills via insurance, so went the web route. I'll probably stop using it. Unless y'all think I should continue to use it? Trying to research, learn, and educate myself since I can't seem to find a...

Thanks for all the helpful info. I went to see my urologist today, and he ordered a retesting of a few things. He has listed: - Estradiol - Sex Hormone Binding Globulin - Testosterone, bioavailable (M) - Testosterone I felt like he didn't really know much about this stuff, which is weird. He...

Thanks! I'll just let things be for now. Should I be overly concerned about it? I don't know anything about Thyroid levels, and how to normalize/fix. Open to suggestions! Thanks again! Y'all are great!

Thanks for all the helpful information. That's good to know. Should I be concerned about levels dropping too low after stopping Clomid, or will I be able to maintain normal levels at some point? I feel good. Struggling a little with motivation in the gym, but that's nothing new. Daily...

I'm 35yo, going on 36yo, no steroids. I took Clomid 25mg for 10 months for low-t, and have been off Clomid for 3 weeks. These test results were taken 2 weeks after stopping Clomid, so I wasn't on Clomid during the time my blood was taken. Question! What do you do for high Estradiol, Sensitive...
