It's great to do a restart as it accelerates the rebooting process. But I didn't get long-term benefit by staying on it monotherapy.

Have you considered dropping your T dosage a bit? Your labs indicate you may be a bit too high across a number of dimensions, including E2. In my experience, improperly balanced E2 can negatively impact NO levels, which can certainly cause the issues you are experiencing. The subjective...

It trashed my libido. Hypothesis is the estrogen blockage happening in my brain. Cycled off of it and a week later libido came roaring back with increased desire to watch porn, etc.

Glad it helps! Most recent labs as of 6/4: T, Total: 738 (264-916) T, Free: 18.4 (8.7-25.1) LH: 11.2 (1.7-8.6) Estradiol, Sens: 48.6 (8.0-35.0) SHBG: 28.2 (16.5-55.9) I am feeling decently well - morning erections have been more prevalent (they were non existent on TRT+HCG), and no adverse E2...

Wanted to update this thread with my latest progress. As of 5/7, labs on 25mg enclomiphene ED: Total T: 700 (264-916) Free T: 10.5 (8.7-25.1) E2, Sens: Pending SHBG: Pending Pending final results, my sense is my SHBG is high. What’s weird is while on TRT, my SHBG was low, ~10ish. Why is my...

Yes, 25mg daily but hopefully I can start to dial back over time.

For what it's worth, I ran a trial of clomid several years ago before going onto TRT and experienced mild eye floaters. Since January of this year, I've been on a restart protocol - enclomiphene 25mg only, and have had no eye floaters.

Starting to come back! T - 415 (264-916) FT - 8.5 (8.7-25.1) LH - 7.3 (1.7-8.6) E2, Sens - Pending Glad to see the LH accelerate and hoping the T will continue to do the same. Libido has slowly began coming back in waves. Responded well to Vardenafil a few nights ago which was a great sign...

Update here. Seems my body is finally starting to reset natural production: T - 242 (264-916) FT - 4.4 (8.7-25.1) LH - they forgot to test, going back Monday E2, Sens - 7.8 (8.0-35) This has been a difficult few months. Primary complaint has been near-constant swings in body temperature...

Thanks for the response. I think we are largely saying the same thing. All of this aside, I do not have T2D and my blood sugars are very much under control. My diet is as good as it can get based on my lifestyle: I employ intermittent fasting (feeding hours 12pm-7pm), high healthy fat, high...

This has been a brutal couple of months. In early February with doctor's support I doubled the dose of enclomiphene (12.5 mg to 25 mg) and tested last week. Results came back essentially the same, although I guess LH roughly doubled in that time period: T - 30 (264-916) FT - Too low to result...

Ok, I will hang in there.

Thanks! Would HCG help (I know it's still HPTA suppressive)? Will be chatting with doc soon on this but appointment is a few weeks out.

38M who has been on TRT + HCG for ~5 years or so. I wanted to see if I could restart production with the help of enclomiphene, as prior to TRT I had a great response to clomid but could not handle the estrogen related sides. I started 12.5mg ED about a month ago, and just got back labs from a...

@The slice The single most contributing factor to my libido issues was ensuring my ADHD was properly treated, which I didn’t even know I had the condition until the pandemic hit and I was overwhelmed by work + family in same space. I had erection issues literally because I was multitasking...
