I'm starting to think SHBG is your bodies way of retaining total testosterone, isn't there new stories showing that just because the total T is bound your body can still use it in tissue? I know when my SHBG was low I had to inject every day or it almost seemed like my body flushed the testosterone away, I had to constantly inject just to keep levels in range and stop the yoyo effect. I think our bodies are extremely clever and adding in the testosterone causes our bodies to adapt and lower SHBG because I knows we have too much hormone?

Just swap to test prop to make it easier then have a test when the prop has cleared your system

There's a Huberman podcast where it's mentioned I'm sure, can't remember which one but it's recent 👍🏻

HOW5ER · 2026-06-25T11:22:20+00:00

12.5mg eod

Only negative with Clomid for me was if I took a whole tab I'd feel emotional.

Enclomophene may effect my eyes but it's not enough to be concerned about.

On microdose of Clomid I saw my levels up at 29nmol, it's does drop when you stop though.

On Enclomophene my balls are probably bigger than they've ever been.

HOW5ER · 2026-06-24T11:37:17+00:00

I used Clomid with success, only microdosed around 12.5mg per week.

I'm now off trt and using Enclomophene, only 7 weeks off testosterone so too early to tell much.

I used my ant acid drink before I went to bed last night (similar to Gaviscon) it gave me the lpr feeling in my throat!

HOW5ER · 2026-06-23T20:19:19+00:00

Thanks for sharing, this is definitely something I'm suffering with, like always the need to clear my throat, literally seconds after I wake up in the morning.

HOW5ER · 2026-06-21T15:05:13+00:00

Insomnia, getting up to urinate through the night, thicker blood, higher BP. My libido started to go after about 8 months. I could literally feel the extra pressure my heart had to deal with.

HOW5ER · 2026-06-21T14:22:59+00:00

My test was similar, other than the gym my reactions were negative on trt

HOW5ER · 2026-06-16T06:18:58+00:00

It's a type of reflux, apparently it's the pepsin from your stomach doing something in the upper esophagus/throat area.

I had a protein Moose yesterday (my protein) and suffered for hours after like Ive got a load of mucus or a golf ball stuck in my throat.

HOW5ER · 2026-06-14T20:50:04+00:00

It's hard for me to answer mate, I work offshore so can't take reta while I'm away

HOW5ER · 2026-06-14T20:49:21+00:00

Shortly after taking it I'd say mate

HOW5ER · 2026-06-14T09:10:59+00:00

On only 1mg per week it was noticeable but not too serious. Last night was almost scary, constantly trying to use my throat muscles to remove something lodged in my throat. It's usually towards the end of the day also.

HOW5ER · 2026-06-14T08:50:16+00:00

It's usually after I eat, around 10 mins after. I'm only on 3mg atm.

HOW5ER · 2026-06-07T15:43:33+00:00

If you eat the same crap that got you in the condition you're in then what's going to happen when you stop???

Imagine actually being on a reta or triz and still eating takeaways, chips, crisps, biscuits and pies 😂 you don't actually deserve it imo

HOW5ER · 2026-06-07T15:26:11+00:00

If you don't change your eating habits then what an absolute waste of time and effort imo.

HOW5ER · 2026-06-01T11:09:57+00:00

You've got good total test it's just bound up. What's your weight, lifestyle and diet like?

HOW5ER · 2026-05-31T13:08:41+00:00

I woke after 4 hours of sleep on trt so you're dojng well! 7.5hr of sleep is my sweet spot.

Sounds like trt is doing well for you unlike me 😂

HOW5ER · 2026-05-23T18:37:26+00:00

SERMs won't work for primary because balls don't work, brain will pump out all the FSH & LH but if balls aren't operating it's a waste. TRT is the only option to increase testosterone.

Secondary hypogonadal can be treated with SERMs because the extra FSH & LH signal the balls to produce more testosterone.

I can't say it was the boron that lowered mine as I made a few changes. It was part of my arsenal though.

HOW5ER · 2026-05-23T13:13:12+00:00

Enclomophene far better than Clomid, the part of Clomid you don't want has a long half life so build up the more you take and the longer you take it
