Doing very well by the grace of god. I have fully recovered from all of my crashed estrogen symptoms. I still struggle with my TT being low in the 220-250ng/dl range but as far as recovery from what initially brought me to this forum, I'm in a pre-crashed state and what a ride it has been. My LH...

I'm getting off my HCG monotherapy next week and will be attempting an aggressive gonadotropin restart by using 50mg of Clomid daily split into two 25mg and 10mg of Tamoxifen for 6 weeks. Im also low SHBG and noticed that my HCG lowers it further. Also, my LH & FSH never get above 5 and 2...

How much Arimidex did you take and for how long? You can play the waiting game without taking anymore Arimidex and it should resolve within 3 weeks on its own. If it doesn't, like in my case when I used Aromasin, HCG was the only king to fix everything. It felt like I factory reset my system on it.

Well traditionally, I believe the gold standard is run SERMS is to kick start gonadotropins after the cessation of HCG and/or Testosterone. It's more of a kick start to reduce the time by which my body needs to to produce LH & FSH. I know it the feeling sucks be on the SERMS but it's much better...

His name is Mahmoud Al Durrah. At what time do you typically administer your HCG dose?

High dose HCG will send your estradiol and prolactin through the roof. I'm currently on HCG mono at 300iu EOD taken with an insulin syringe intramuscularly. I take between 100-150mgs of P5P to control prolactin that rises with E2 and Zinc to combat aromatization to an extent. My E2 non-sensitive...

Couldn't really cite anything clinical to back this up, however when I was coached by an IFBB pro, he always recommended to take at night with vitamin E on an empty stomach and intramuscular. I believe it may have to do with the rhythm of LH pulsing peak at night? I did find literature...

I just mixed my second bottle of Pregnyl and took my 300iu dose, and currently viewing this thread past mid-night unable to fall asleep lol. I tremendously concur with the sense of well being component and general contentment with life.

Himalaya Liv52 is a miracle for elevated liver enzymes and any form of hepatoxicity.

Yes, my anxiety and anhedonia were very severe. It was so bad when I felt like I no longer had love for my toddler child. I had every text book symptom of low estrogen from depression, insomnia, dehydration, joint pain, dry eyes, hazy vision, muscle tremors, dry scrotum, flaccid and shriveled...

OP, I have had 95% of your described symptoms after crashing my E2. It was the worst mistake of my life and began cherishing estrogen very much. I'm currently on 300iu of HCG to recover from this mess and it has worked wonderfully. My BP was extremely low after crashing my E2 and HCG brought it...

That's a little steep for sure, it runs around $100 usually for 7 points and in and out in about 30-45 mins. Good luck, I know how much of a pain it is to control.

I have 0 scientific citations to provide to you but anecdotally, I consistently do 7 point cupping on my neck and back and once measured ferritin after as part of my normal draws and there wasn't a significant drop as it would with phlebotomy. With the exception of the spot pain that lasts for...

Have you tried wet cupping instead of phlebotomy? It's the best to control my HCT and RBCs without having to donate and crashing your ferritin.

This is a terrific topic and very glad it's covered here. I've been placed on HCG monotherapy after a catastrophe of an Estrogen crash while on SERMs. HCG has been a life changer for me and it's the best I've ever felt in over 10 years. It's been a month so far, however while I've become able to...

Androgel left me with very high estrogen that I couldn't expunge out of my system and in turn suppressed my TT levels for recovery. That's when I took Aromasin to purge it out and caused me the crash. I've read many anecdotal account regarding PSSD, Post finasteride and E2 crash, etc. And...

I'm doing significantly better on many fronts and currently suffer in the libido arena, but I'm aware that it's the last thing to come back online. It's like your body's way of giving you the icing on the cake. I suffered from severe depression following an E2 crash that has been single handedly...

That is largely what is practiced by bodybuilders and I would highly recommend against it (I learned the hard way). I feel that we are all wired to have a limited amount by which we can tolerate an estrogen crash before bad things really begin manifest onto what appears to be flat-out permanent...

Glad all went well my friend. I'm not on the TRT bandwagon yet but eill keep your protocol in mind whenever I encounter prostate stings.

How did the himplasia work out? Stopped being effective? What are your current labs looking like?

Pilex by Himalaya. Both, the tablets and ointment saved me from pile surgery.

Everything else on CMP and CBC is normal. Liver enzymes are flawless thank God.

Thank you for your feedback SL. Always cherished your knowledge and participation. Here are the ranges as requested (apologies, but working from phone): HDL >= 40 LDL below 100 optimal TT 249-836 Free T 9.1-32.3 E2 11- 43 LH 1.7-8.6 FSH 1.5 - 12.4 SHBG 16.5 - 55 DHT 30-85 I'm aware of the...

I have been experiencing rapid heart rate increase and extreme tiredness after meals that tend to disappear a few hours later. I am not on TRT but I did experiment with testosterone propionate, Clen and T3 over 10 years ago in college for a short stint. I used Tamoxifen for two weeks as PCT and...

I wish more second world treatments would make it to the US because I can assure you there's not a remedy presented to me overseas that didnt work for a condition I had. And I never hear about those treatments in the US. Glad it works for you.

No it wasn't but I have performed labs during the time I felt best and my prolactin was sitting at 8. Immediately following my estrogen crash, my prolactin jumped to 16. Both blood draws were over 48 hours no intercourse and while fasting. Eventhough my estrogen stabilized quickly following the...

As surprising as this sounds, I figured out the "feeling crashed" feeling that lingers and I truly believe it has nothing to do with the estrogen. In my case it was the rise in prolactin that my estrogen caused when it rose back-up. That under-water, wired, unmotivated, dry sensation was...

Really wouldn't be able to comment on whether an interaction exists. I would personally stop the Cialis as I would want to identify clinical response to identify if it's working. Himplasia also increases libidio based on the herbal mixture which includes Tribulus.

I highly recommend an herbal supplement called himplasia made by Himalaya. It's a little tough to procure in the US but can be found. It is widely used in India as the prime means of treating BPH at two tablets a day for two months by Ayurvedic doctors.

Reading this thread during my crashed estrogen state did nothing but induce severe anxiety and instill constant fear that actually prolonged my mental/emotional recovery. I do want to remind whoever is arriving here late that the OP stated that he has successfully recovered and all symptoms of...

Any AI solo treatment opens doors for crashed estrogen and all the ailments that come along with that. If your bloods indicate high estrogen without any SERMs or exogenous testosterone, I would give DIM a try instead. Also, please note that Clomid's zuclomiphene isomer has a half life of 30 days...
