  1. My take on MK-677/GHAR1NE

    Should have read this before posting my own thread. 5 days in and I've had serious sides I thought might be from the MK-677. Extremely light-headed for two days now. Can't stand up without feeling like I'm going pass out. I've had issues with cortisol levels/blood sugar as well and IGF-1 is...

  2. MK 677 and LGD Sides?

    Might completely unrelated and just coincidence, but I believe I'm having some pretty sides since starting this mix 5 or 6 days ago. Yesterday I was extremely light-headed and lethargic all day. Almost like motion sickness or really low cortisol/blood sugar, but don't feel sick otherwise...

  3. Odd SERM Results

    Not sure if it's related but I've developed digestion issues. I get incredibly bloated and gassy anytime I eat. Even a small snack. Doc thought it was some antibiotics I was on a few months ago. I take probiotics. Tested negative for c-diff. Tested negative for gluten and dairy allergies.

  4. Odd SERM Results

    Just tested again after going back to T at 150 per week and E2 still too low to even register. T at 800 and free T at 38 (high) Always have low SHBG so those results are expected. DHEA was also high which is not unusual. Hadn't been taking much licorice plus before this. Also taking...

  5. Odd SERM Results

    Only other change has been liposomal Vit C. Maybe 3g per day or so. Also take Metagenics licorice plus for adrenals, but I've taken that before in the past.

  6. Odd SERM Results

    I've done a few SERM runs before, HCG mono and full TRT. I've always had to be on an AI. Before starting any of this, my E2 was a little high with no hormone manipulation. I was coming off an HCG mono run where I was taking 25mg aromasin MWF to keep E2 under control. Started Adex instead...

  7. HCG Monotherapy

    This is point missed by most. You take only enough to get the desired response to minimize E2 issues. If you're only taking enough to mimic healthy LH levels, E2 shouldn't be an issue. 750IU per week is about the same total T as high normal LH from a SERM. Better Free T on HCG and easier to...

  8. HCG Monotherapy

    No testing since May. 125IU HCG ED, 25mg Aromasin MWF. Total T = 529 ng/dl (348-1197) Free T = 22 pg/ml (9-25) E2 = 27 pg/ml (8-43) Pretty much the same results I got from 500IU ED. I was taking 6mg Aromasin ED with some Boron and Calcium d-Glucarate around that test. Pretty much the same...

  9. HCG Monotherapy

    750IU per week would probably work if a SERM worked that good for you. 125IU ED got my free T to the top of the range. Doing 250IU MWF now. Need to retest, but expect similar results. The key is to take only what you need to get the appropriate response. Minimized E2 issues, desensitization...

  10. Pregnolone and DHEA

    Micronized oral dhea worked great for me. Easy got me over range. I have not been impressed with dermacrine. Two blood tests showed no increase in dhea over baseline. Still using up what I have and just did another test, so we'll see.

  11. E2 support

    What are your total free t levels?

  12. E2 support

    If you're at 62, you most likely need an AI. I wouldn't waste my time with OTC. How much T are you injecting and how often? HCG?

  13. Trying clomid restart, what bloodwork to check?

    That's an ok list. I would add DHEA-s to the list. If it's not at the top of the range, take micronized DHEA. TSH doesn't tell a fraction of the thyroid story. Probably need to add T4, Free T4 and Free T3 at a minimum. Rev T3 would be good to have. Antibodies are helpful if the first run...

  14. Clomid 12.5mg m,w,f

    I hear plenty of people talk about desensitization from HCG, but I've never seen anything even close to proof of this. I never really cared to research it much, because I only take what I need to get the desired result. I don't want to pay for or inject more HCG than I need. If you require a...

  15. Clomid 12.5mg m,w,f

    Yep, completely different drugs.
