Sorry - Correction - *What could be contributing to **higher SHBG levels...

I recently was able to view lab results from 2018 to present day. Every time I have had lab work done (hormone panel) my SHBG is always higher than it should be. The higher than normal value presented even before I tried self prescribed TRT. 2018 (prior to testosterone) - Testosterone 26.9...

While on a testosterone cycle...I developed dermatographia and what appears to be psoriasis or eczema...the dermatographia has subsided a bit since i stopped (nearly a year ago) but the itching dry skin continues to rear it's ugly head every now and then....

So I have a doctors app next week. I'm going to ask for some lab work. For the last several months I have had very diminished libido. I have mentioned this in previous posts - I dabbled with self prescribing testosterone. My last injection was nearly a year ago (Feb 2022). I kept it on the low...

I have a Yohimbine question. The product I have are powder filled capsules with 500mg yohimbine. I copied the ingredient label... Yohimbe (Pausinystalia yohimbe) (bark) (from 125 mg of 4:1 Extract) 500 mg My question is how much active ingredient is in the capsule? 500mg seems way too high...

I have a few bottles of piping rock stuff...main ingredient is 500mg Yohimbine...I find the yohimbine hit or miss and it can cause ++anxiety. Some people report that doses of 20-40mg are effective. It does create a stir down there..lol...but sometimes the anxiousness will steal the moment...

Well if you find it...let me know :)

There's a store in my town..sells the otc pills with names like Rhino...Porn star...etc...Health Canada keeps pulling them but they always come back under a different name...I do wish a person could find an actual herb than was effective but it seems big pharma will never let that happen

Well now I'm on a mission lol....I remember being in Cuba one time at an all inclusive...a staff member was serving chili at the beach bar...when he filled up my bowl he said "special ingredient will keep your woman happy tonight"...he was right lol...there are so many herbs out there that are...

I'm not sure exactly, but within a few weeks. I haven't had any episodes since.

What form and dosage?

I developed GERD as well while trying TRT. To the point I had a full cardio workup. Everything came back fine. Shortly after I stopped the test the GERD symptoms completely disappeared....

I know...makes it difficult to find help

I have posted on this board in the past regarding TRT and libido. I had briefly dabbled with self prescribed TRT a few years back. It was initially amazing (honeymoon) with regards to energy and libido but that quickly paled in the face of the negative sides I experienced. I ultimately stopped...

Just as a (much late) follow up...i did have blood work done and the results showed that my cholesterol levels dropped back to normal, however my doc did not order any sex hormone lab work :(....the whole libido thing is still kicking around...it waxes and wanes but more so than not it is quite...

Just curious. I am 55. Over the last few years I've developed some bph symptoms. The usual, up a few times through the night, bit of dribble etc...I started taking an otc supplement "Super Prostate" from Webber Naturals. It contains Saw palmetto liposterolic extract 125mg, Stinging nettle...

So I've been off testosterone for four months. Didn't do much of a PCT. Tried clomid briefly - it was awful, tried a few test booster and "pct" supplements - who really knows if they work or not. I'm not feeling awful but I am feeling sub-par. Still trying to work out at least 5 times a week...

Yes. The high end range for total test was 25nmol/l. Mine was 29. I was puzzled as I definitely did not feel like my test was high. My Doc mentioned that my body could be in "rebound mode". But it seems unlikely that it would remain so high. I do also take vitamins and supps (multi, ginseng...

I started it within a week of stopping testosterone. I started with (if i remember correctly) 25mg daily. The effect was pretty quick with regards to a positive change in testicles. But overall feeling wasn't great. I received notice that I had bloodwork in 5 weeks so I stopped until after my...

I was injecting (shallow IM) test-cyp weekly.

Just wondering if there would be any benefit (or harm) with a once weekly 25mg dose of Clomid? I've been off test (80mg test-cyp weekly) for over 3 months now. I'm feeling better (although my desire for sex is quite low)...After stopping the test, I initially started CLomid 12.5mg daily then eod...

Yes with regards to the volume. And I do sense the libido making a comeback although not as much as I'd like, but maybe I'm a bit impatient.

My last test injection was Feb 4th. I started the clomid about a week later (25mg eod). Did it for about 2 weeks then stopped as I had blood work coming up the end of March. Had the blood work done. My test came back way over the normal upper range but curiously I felt like my test was in the...

Like you I stopped the first of February. My volume was ridiculously low. It's just been in the last few weeks that I've noticed an improvement. So I'm guessing just give it more time. I did almost three weeks of Clomid (12.5mg eod) after my last test injection. Seemed good at first but...

Decided not to give it a try. Coming up on three months since my last test injection (75mg test-cyp)...I did a couple of weeks of clomid 12.5mg eod...felt like crap on that...but finally feeling like things are back to normal...I do miss that elevated feeling when first trying testosterone...I...

I also found it awful. I felt like crap while taking it. Symptoms similar to high estrogen. It's not available (OTC) here in Canada. I bought in to the hype and purchased some while south of the border. Did absolutely nothing except make me fee l like shit lol

Shortness of breath - check, acid reflux - check, Chest pain, weird swelling on the bottom (pads) of my feet, not painful just felt like I was stepping on something, Eczema like skin issues on back, chest, legs, lack of libido, energy etc....I did not have any of these issues prior to TRT (well...

This may be a stupid question but would 10mg EOD be the equivalent of a 5mg daily dose? I know mathematically it is the same but does the half life and absorption come into play? Maybe it needs daily administration to obtain consistent levels? Just wondering as I have scored 20mg tabs...easier...

Thanks so much for the info. I think I'll continue the clomid for a few more weeks then stop and see where I'm at. I'm hoping that as levels return to baseline things will improve. Mt only concern at the moment is the libido. I do miss that initial feeling when i first tried testosterone...huge...

Well I started on the basis of a comment my doc at the time made. He said my test number was "low normal". So that set me into a bit of a tail spin. A buddy of mine had recently been started on testosterone and when discussing his symptoms I realized I shared some of his symptoms. I was still...

My past blood work results indicated that my SHBG was elevated while taking testosterone...so maybe the clomid is not ideal? I'm just taking 12.5mg MWF...last test injection was Feb 4th (75mg cypionate)...with this low dose of clomid what would be the expected duration to be effective in helping...
