@Jmoney How old are you? Looks like your LH etc, recovered quickly

I understand that. In my case though my hematocrit before TRT averaged around 45. I saw some readings around 43, and I had one high reading of 49(probably dehydrated) But usually 45. So when I start seeing 54 hematocrit . I know thats getting too high due to the TRT. I am just glad the...

Blood pressure before donating my first time last week was 126/86. So no big deal. The blood draw people gave me their hemoglobin test and it came in at 17.1 But it was a quick test, so don't know how accurate. I gave one unit of whole blood. Took another hematocrit test the next week and it was...

Been on actual trt injections about 5-6 months. Starting at 100mg 2x shot a week. That brought me a trough total t in the 550s. And FT in the bottom 1/3 of the range. My hematocrit was at 47.4 3 months ago at this dose. We increased dose to 120mg per week 2x a week injections. And my current...

Why did you come off your oral T, that you have said on the forum you were so happy with?

Was this a trough reading?> right before injection?

Had my appt today. We agreed. to move up to .6ml a week. or 120 mg a week split in two doses. See how that works out.

@Vince what is your exact protocol if I may ask? And what are your trough total and free? Thank you

@Systemlord No. As mentioned. I drank normally, I was aware enough to not go in too dehydrated, or over hydrate. To get hopefully accurate results.

@Systemlord thank you. Do you know how we can calculate peak levels from a measured trough? Or do peak levels even matter? Also, do you know when hematocrit, usually peaks after starting TRT? It came in at 47 this time 1.5 months in. Pre TRT I was usually between 44-45. Obviously how hyrdrated...

I tried enclomphiene for a while before moving to injections in late May. Urologist put me on 100mg, I take 50 mg. Split tues morning and Friday evening. Labs were taken just before Fridays shots(trough) I came in at 541 total. Free was measured at FTI 47 percent. Range is 34-106. E2 was 34. I...

I just starting on injections and declined HCG at the start, just to get a feel for Test only. If you start with two drugs, you really don't know what effect each is giving. i'm only 42. I'll add in the future if needed.

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

Do you see the same hematocrit issues with orals, that you do with injections?

Who here is on some form of oral. jatenzo/Kyzatrex? What has it done for you? What are your numbers? Has RBC increases been as much as a problem for you on the orals? How is your liver tests? Thank you

I don't like the idea of being on the medication long term. I believe I had some eye floaters at 12.5, didn't want to double dose. Also, I plan to leave the country next year and where I am going enclo is not available for Test is

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...

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...

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...

@Ribeye good news. glad for you. Can you share what your protocol is? Did you have success right off the bat or did you have to adjust? Thank you

@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...

@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?

@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

@Vince right. But systemlord seems to be indicating its starving your eyes for estrogen?

@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...

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...

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

why is your platlets so low? I'd be more concerned on that

How long were you on clomid before it stopped working? Was stopped working that your test levels fell again? Did you try upping the dose?

what ester are you taking? how often? Whats your goal for total T? Thank you
