What results? Middle of the road hemoglobin and hematocrit? You won't ever find what you're looking for, because you nocebo yourself with a new misguided, make belief theory every day. Are you married? If so, just eat a regular diet and have your wife give you your d3, vitamin c etc randomly...

He's the definition of a hypochondriac.

Got my doctor to send me my sperm analysis results. Volume was low on the analysis, but I probably missed more than I managed to get into the cup thing. This also seems like a pretty butch lab, as there are only like 5 markers measured. But here they are: Sperm Volume: 1.5ml (RR > 1.5ml)...

No. Canada has some pretty dumb rules where a lot of labs aren't allowed to send results directly to the patient. I assume my doctor would've contacted me if anything was abnormal, so going to assume my sperm analysis was fine.

Update (12/06/24) Got bloods yesterday (12/05/24). Results are: Total Testosterone: 16.8 nmol/L (RR 8.4 - 28.8) Free Testosterone: 357 pmol/L (196 - 636) LH: 4.6 IU/L (RR 1.0 - 7.0) FSH: 4.4 IU/L (RR 1.0 - 8.0) Prolactin: 13.7 ug/L (RR 4.0 - 19.0) Higher than last time. This was taken...

Update (10/19/24) Got bloods yesterday (10/18/24), 6ish weeks after the last dose of enclomiphene. Results are as follows: Total Testosterone: 13.8 nmol/L (RR 8.4 - 28.8) Free Testosterone: 323 pmol/L (RR 196 - 636) LH: 3.8 IU/L (RR 1.0 - 7.0) FSH: 4.1 IU/L (RR 1.0 - 8.0) Prolactin: 15.1 IU/L...

Update: Still feeling fine. Got bloods yesterday after 4 weeks of 12.5mg 2x per week of enclomiphene. Bloods were taken 96 hours after the last enclomiphene dose. FSH: 8.4 IU/L (RR 1.0 - 8.0) HIGH LH: 5.3 IU/L (RR 1.0 - 7.0) Prolactin: 11.7 ug/L (RR 4.0 - 19.0) Testosterone: 30.3 mmol/L (RR...

Make milk kefir. It has estimated 100 million - 1 billion CFU per ML (so a cup would be the strongest probiotic you could every buy) for the cost of milk. It is acidic since it is lacto-fermented (lactic acid is produced), and the probiotics are contained in a polysaccharide chain known as...

Update: Still feeling great. No noticeable muscle or strength loss and libido and erection quality and everything of that nature is still going well. Got bloods yesterday, which was 21 days after switching to 12.5mg EOD of enclomiphene. Results are: FSH: 9.0 IU/L (RR 1.8 - 8.0) HIGH LH: 4.1...

Update: Switching to 12.5mg EOD of enclomiphene now. Still feel fine, no sides. Just I've been on 12.5mg ED for over 30 days now. Testicles are quite large, maybe even bigger than pre TRT. Next bloodwork appointment is slated for August 9 (3 weeks today). Unless something changes I likely...

I don't think there is a "best" PCT. There is such little scientific literature on this topic that it's a guessing game. I went with 500 IU of HCG per day solo more as a test to see how my balls worked. If that didn't get me producing decent test, I likely would've hopped back on TRT. Also I...

Update (07/12) Been on 12.5mg/day of enclomiphene for 24 days, and am 28 days post triptorelin shot. Got bloods yesterday. The results are: Total Testosterone: 22.2 nmol/L (RR 8.4 - 28.8) Free Testosterone: 469 pmol/L (RR 196 - 636) LH: 3.7 IU/L (RR 1.0 - 7.0) FSH: 7.1 IU/L (RR 1.0 - 8.0)...

I'm trying a restart now and got a log going here if you want to check it out. 500IU of hcg daily for 40 days with no test had my total T around 1000. Used some triptorelin a few days after stopping the HCG and then started enclomiphene 12.5mg daily (almost 3 weeks ago now). Been feeling...

Weekly update: Still doing well. Still don't notice any difference from being on. Blood work is scheduled for this friday so we'll see how everything is looking.

Weekly update: Still feeling fine. Today is 6th day of 12.5mg enclo daily. Eyes seem to be more sensitive to light, but I also had HPPD (coolest disorder ever btw) many years ago and I had some "fun" last weekend which tends to bring the HPPD back up to the surface for a week or so. So I don't...

Quick update: Just injected 100mcg of triptorelin acetate, and froze 5 pins of 100mcg. No clue if they will stay or not, and I hope I don't need to use them, but it seemed dumb to mix 5mg and throw away 4.9. Will start enclomiphene on Monday.

Update a bit early here. Got bloods yesterday 24ish hours after my 39th 500IU injection of HCG and 40 days of no T. Testosterone: 37.6 nmol/L (RR 8.4 - 28.8) Free Testosterone: 911 pmol/L (RR 196 - 636) Quite surprising. Was actually kind of hoping for it to be a lot lower, since I feel great...

Weekly update: Still feeling fine. Decided I am going to go ahead with the triptorelin. Got 5mg from somewhere I trust. Bloods are scheduled for next tuesday. Plan for now is to continue 500IU daily of HCG until Monday, then bloods on tuesday and shoot the remainder of my HCG tuesday...

Weekly update: Still feeling fine. Surprising since 28 days no test and having lost 26 pounds in the past 32 days. Should be 8-9% body fat when the hcg is done, allowing me to hopefully not aromatize too much using the enclo. All is going well.

Another weekly update. Still feel fine in all regards, other than starting to get a bit hungry. Start my 2nd vial of HCG today, so 20 days left then move to the enclomiphene. Bloods are booked for June 13th.

Kind of surprising blood work results. Total Testosterone: 30.3 nmol/L (RR 8.4 - 28.8) Free Testosterone: 823 pmol/L (RR 196 - 636) Prolactin: 8.0 ug/L (RR 4.0 - 18.0) So my balls work even better than I expected. Test was taken 27ish hours after the last 500 IU hcg pin. With this info I will...

Since I'm here might as well toss in a quick update. Saw my GP and got a monthly lab requisition as well as a sperm analysis. First blood test is this afternoon, which is sooner than I planned but I'm mainly curious to see how my lipids and stuff are doing with a ~1200 calorie/day diet. Still...

Yeah HCG hasn't really been shown to induce any desentization of leydig cells in humans. There are a few that demonstrate hcg shifts the steroidogenisis cascade a bit, likely due to how long hcg binds to the leydig cells compared to LH, but it seems to be temporary (which can be seen from a...

Quick update since I'll try to stop in here every week. Still feel fine. Only been 9 days since my last T injection so I wouldn't expect otherwise. Ball size has maybe increased a bit but not as much as I'd expect after 4000 IU of hcg in 8 days. Still have 32 days of HCG left so we'll see how...

I actually think my libido is the only thing that changed by hopping on TRT, and in a negative way. However it could just be that I'm older than I was prior to TRT.

Not on SSRIs or any other meds other than TRT. Could likely go cold turkey as the HAARLEM study indicates PCT doesn't have any long term benefits. However, I've been more or less shut down for 3 years, I know HCG doesn't cause me any sides (besides some back acne but who cares) and enclo seems...

Hi all. Have used this forum for info before, but thought I'd make a log here to document my attempt at restarting natural production. Will use nmol/L and mmol/L measurements here for total/free testosterone in the format of total/free. To convert to ng/dl, multiply these numbers by 28.85 for...
