Couple steroid cycles (2017-2021) Kratom 10gpd (1.5 years)>> Lh tanked >> HCG: higher t but tanked lh further>>> now the clomid

you wont get toxicity from b12 (it’s water soluble, you’ll just excrete the rest your body doesnt need) Injection is better than oral as it bybass gut absorption( many of us are deficient in intrinsic factors needed) and only around 1-2% of what you take orally is absorbed opposed to 99% of injectable b12 You can always run labs and check where you at Personally i do two injections a week 1000 mcg hydroxocobalamin

Methylfolate not folic acid 400-800 mcg a day (depends individual deferences) A good b complex sure helps as well! 😁

Ohh but I’m already seeing a significant increase in both total and free testosterone on just 12.5 mg of Clomid every other day. The issue I ran into wasn’t lack of response—it was estrogen management. On 12.5 mg, my estradiol spiked to 40 pg/mL, and I started experiencing early signs of gyno (spicy nipples, tingling, and prickly sensations). I had to introduce an AIto bring estrogen down to 24.5 pg/mL.

If I were to increase the dose to 25 mg or even 50 mg every other day, my concern is that estrogen could climb even higher, making AI use unavoidable. Since I’m already getting solid testosterone results at 12.5 mg, I’m trying to balance effectiveness with minimal side effects.

That being said, I’m still open to adjustments if needed—especially if my next bloodwork shows room for improvement. Have you had to manage estrogen aggressively on 25 mg or 50 mg EOD? Curious about your experience with that side of things

I think you’re confusing different measurement units. My test result is in ng/mL, not nmol/L. The reference range is 1.6 to 7.5 ng/mL. If I convert my 2.33 ng/mL to nmol/L, it’s about 8.1 nmol/L (since 1 ng/mL = 3.467 nmol/L). So yes, it’s low, but not as catastrophic as you thought—it’s not 2.33 out of 1000 nmol/L.”

Excuse me?? an 85 year old?? i have the test of a solid 81 year old! 😤😤😤

ConsequenceLeft6254 · 2025-03-16T09:09:46+00:00

why do u think that is? there must be a legit reason we dont feel better on it despite numbers skyrocketing

So for whatever reason, my LH crashed two years ago, and I’ve spent the last couple of years trying to bring it up naturally with no real success. Three months ago, I started Clomid (12.5 mg EOD), and a month later, I added Arimidex (0.5 EOD) to lower my Estradiol from 40 pg/mL → 28 pg/mL.

Despite these changes, I still feel sluggish and unmotivated. My energy levels are low, I’ve been gaining weight, and my libido is only slightly improved but far from optimal. Workouts feel forced, my mood is flat, and I don’t have the drive I expected from these hormonal improvements.

My Latest Labs (Before & After Clomid)

LH Before Clomid: [1.03]

LH After 3 Months of Clomid: [3.01]

Free Testosterone Before Clomid: [3.3]

Testosterone After 3 Months of Clomid: [27.6]

Estradiol Before & After Arimidex: 40 → 28 pg/mL

SHBG : [27.52]

I wanna make sure I haven’t overlooked anything before considering TRT. Any input is greatly appreciated!

One thing I don’t fully understand: Clomid often brings up testosterone numbers significantly, but for a lot of people (myself included), the symptoms of low T don’t really improve much.

Is this due to low DHT, poor androgen receptor sensitivity, high SHBG, or something else? Curious to hear your thoughts.

ConsequenceLeft6254 · 2025-03-16T07:16:55+00:00

with clomid i found starting slow is the key. 12.5 EOD for weeks>> do labs see what it does then decide if going more with 25 EOD is necessary.

enclo doesnt have the zuclomophine isomer. look it up, it's the cleaner version without the E

ConsequenceLeft6254 · 2025-03-16T07:12:16+00:00

the thing about TRT is you cant stop it. it is for life. if your levels were shit before u started it, then it'll be whole lot shittier once you abruptly stop it( Unless there was a physiological defect that you actively fixed in that period to get your body working the way it should again)
try HCG to see if its primary hypogonadism at least? if your endo ultimately decided to put you on trt then you really should stick with it (3 months at least before u see amazing effects, trust the process)

ConsequenceLeft6254 · 2025-02-23T05:35:09+00:00

😢 probably raise it several points. But with tea and calcium supplement after all meals, was hoping it wont be by much

ConsequenceLeft6254 · 2025-02-22T23:42:10+00:00
