https://www.physiology.org/doi/full/10.1152/jappl.1997.82.1.49 Somewhat related study i believe - higher T levels with 40% cals from fat compared to 20%. Interesting about protein's influence too.

The picture in the link you posted says "Enclomiphene, aromatase inhibitor" - surely that's not right, it's a serm like regular clomid isn't it?

Hi all, Thought i'd update my thread with the results from my latest blood test done this Monday, 29th Oct. I'd appreciate anyone chipping in with an opinion. It's my 6th blood draw since June, i guess i've been hoping i'll eventually get one where everything"s great.... A couple of notes -...

No i appreciate that Mark, and you're right. I need to make a decision and stick with it. Probably the low testosterone making me indecisive...

Lol, good point about the two threads, i'll try and keep things here. I've been paying for all these tests so far, so i think i'll let the nhs deal with more thyroid testing (although, to be honest they probably don't test past tsh and t4 levels, not sure). My ferritin result was near the top...

Thanks for the reply Mark. Just wondering now if correcting any of these things is going to put my testosterone at a good level, or am i now at a point i should just accept replacing...

Thanks for replying Mark. Would improving any of these factors (thyroid, diet etc) have a significant affect on my testosterone though, or is this now at a replacement stage?

Hey guys. Just thought i'd update my status by showing you my results from a blood draw done two days ago. My complete story is in the clomid section, but i was hoping to get opinions on just this blood draw. I've been pretty much off serms now for a few weeks (i had a small, 12.5mg piece of...

Hey guys. Just thought i'd update my status by showing you my results from a blood draw done two days ago. I've been pretty much off serms now for a few weeks (i had a small, 12.5mg piece of clomid around two weeks before this test. I'd also had a few days two weeks before where i took 25mg...

Hi all, I've had a total of four blood tests over the past few months, all coming back low. I'm now wondering if i'm actually having them done when my test levels are lowest, as to be honest I feel my worst when i wake up in the morning and brighten up a few hours into the day. My latest...

Just to keep things up to date - took a blood test for testosterone and LH, on 6th Aug, several weeks after stopping clomid. Testosterone dropped to 8.68nmol/l, down from 11.7nmol/l when on clomid (250ng/dl down from 337ng/dl). LH on clomid had been 8.1 iu/l LH off clomid now 4.28 iu/l

To be honest, i don't really know that i did get several years out of it - i only had one blood test about a week after i started it, which came back at 21.4 nmol/l (617ng/dl). It might have dropped back a few weeks later, i just don't know. I bet though, that cycling clomid is more effective...

Interesting - now i have a name for my type of hypogonadism. Not primary, not secondary, but "compensated hypogonadism" "Criteria from the European Male Ageing study were used to determine gonadal status. Men were categorized as having compensated hypogonadism if their testosterone levels were...

Lol, of course, the Peak T forum! I'd forgotten how much i'd written about when i first joined up. About the pt-141, to be honest i didn't notice much from it other than a facial flushing effect. My libido at that time was already through the roof though, due to the sordid situation i was in (i...

Guided by voices - thank you very much for your insight on my situation. I've gotta say, i was playing in my mind with that exact idea about the hcg and cycling clomid. I'd read a study the other day (which i now can't find) that suggested something along the lines of the testes not being dead...

Thanks Nelson - as to kids, i've done all my breeding now, no more for me. I was really hoping something treatable might have been causing this though, like low thyroid, or varicoles etc. I've no fear of needles, i guess i was just hoping i could be cured.

Thanks Will - the competent doc part could be tricky!

Ok, thanks CoastWatcher

Guys, thanks for your help. I'll definitely look into the Dr you mentioned, it's a shame my holiday in two weeks isn't in Dorset else i could have just popped in while i was there!! One question though - at a reading of 337ng/dl, although low, is that still considered primary hypogonadism...

I'm in Birmingham, West Midlands CoastWatcher. Is there anything i could take that would improve the response of my testes? They obviously work 'a bit', i'm wondering if anything like certain vitamins, or even viagra which i read increases testosterone through a means not related to LH (and my...

Hi everyone. Long time member, first time really stuck as to what to do. Currently 46 years old, nearly 47. Got my testosterone levels checked around 6 years ago - they were low "normal" (lol!). Two tests were around the low 300's if we're talking ng/dl. This is in the U.K, on the nhs. I self...

No, unfortunately. Seeing as what i bought is just a perfectly clear, grain alcohol tasting liquid, it could be anything. Or nothing. With regular clomid, i don't get floaters. As to mood swings, i've had them most my life anyhow, can't say clomid's affected that either way, unless i were to...

Hmm. To be honest, when i first read your reply i thought "he's looking at the wrong product", because the same company (Maneesh Pharmaceuticals) make "Clofert", which is normal clomid and is the one i've been using for the past few years. "En-Clofert" says on the box "enclomiphene", but i've...

There's En-Clofert, an Indian generic by Maneesh Pharma. I've been using their regular 'Clofert' for a few years, but i'm currently trying to convince the shop i buy from to sell En-Clofert so i can try it.

Sorry, i meant chip in with regards to the above!

Anyone else want to chip in?

Really? I didn't know that, and i often look at his forum. Is that something you've got from his book?

Hmm. I wonder what result would happen if someone on clomid therapy (say 12.5mg three times a week), that achieves a testosterone level of approximately 600ng/dl were to add SMALL amounts of injectable testosterone (say, 10mg twice a week)? Surely, as long as the amount of exogenous...

Thanks for replying Gene. I was concerned because, as I'm not on trt I felt it could affect me (I'm currently on self administered low dose clomid though). And I didn't want to leave doxazosin out as I've found it SO effective for erections when used with cialis compared to just cialis on its own.

Does anyone know if doxazosin lowers testosterone? This study, at least to me, suggests it does (at least in rats) http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/17573849/?i=11&from=doxazosin%20testosterone
