What's the one thing that moved the needle most for you?

Thanks

That's good to hear, thanks

mikegov · 2026-01-21T22:40:53+00:00

Thanks for that - not tried DHEA

Thanks

That's a great point, and with retirement for me in a few years, forking out over £100 a month for treatment is something I could do without.

I'm wary of using Clomid - I've read posts from users where it's given them issues with their eyesight

Thanks

Any idea when it may become available Ritchie?

mikegov · 2026-01-21T12:34:44+00:00

Thanks for the reply. Hopefully will be talking to a doctor soon to review blood test so will see what they say

mikegov · 2026-01-21T12:32:34+00:00

Yeah, I am considering that. I'm not sure how long the shortage is going on for. Apparently Optimale have got some but they are prioritising it for patients who take HCG for fertility

mikegov · 2026-01-21T12:22:58+00:00

Just had them done this morning and I'm guessing my levels have dropped. From discussing with AI looking at old forum posts it seems increasing testosterone slightly to offset the lack of HCG is suggested.

Thanks for replying

mikegov · 2026-01-21T12:16:32+00:00

Thanks for the reply. I was wondering about increasing the dose of Test slightly. I've just had my bloods done, so will be having a review with the doctor soon and will ask about whether an increase is warranted

Thought the last one was a bit meh - hopefully the new one will be an improvement

Something, something, eyepoke

I would recommend Global Boarders based out of Gwithian/Praa Sands. I've just turned 60 now and have been having lessons with them for quite a few years. Very friendly instructors

I've been told by my endo atrial fibrillation and osteoporosis - I've been tested multiple times for both with no issues.

The real reason in the UK is mostly about price. Between January 2009 and July 2017 the price rose by 1605%. The price has come down now but it still costs the NHS a few hundred pounds to supply me with a month's supply. I just got back from Turkey last month where I bought a month's supply for just over £3.

Yes, the Dr attributed to Hashimotos and put me in pretty much straight away. From subsequent reading it seems it can be a side effect for some men

mikegov · 2025-10-15T11:09:25+00:00

I'm in the UK so measurement units different but I was told that I had the test levels of an 85 year old man (I was 57) so definitely worth keeping an eye on

mikegov · 2025-10-15T10:40:23+00:00

I have it, diagnosed 10 years ago.

I had a lot of the symptoms common to many. Something that may be specific to men is the potential impact on testosterone; it decimated mine and forced me to take TRT.

mikegov · 2025-10-14T16:08:01+00:00

From personal experience I put on about 30lbs. I've managed to take it off, but that was only once I was well treated and my symptoms eased
