Endo wasn't worried about lh levels. Doubled synthroid dose. Did not feel a need for any further testing at this time other than e2 levels with my next labs. Will run labs again in six weeks.
In the meantime I have begun intermittent fasting (6 wks) and following an anti inflammatory diet (2...
I don't have any symptoms of high e. I'm meeting with a highly regarded endo to do a battery of testing next Friday. I'll post my results once I get further along. I am learning this is a long process. I am trying to stay patient and let the testing guide my therapy vs my natural instinct to...
Thyroid results indicate hashimotos disease.
TPO 107 ref range 0-34
TSH 6.2 ref range .45-4.5 (This has climbed from 4.9 2.5 months ago)
Starting synthroid 50 mcg/day
Meeting with endocrinologist soon......
Happy I have uncovered another issue that I can attack on my journey.
it's really an interesting drug. i have been on low dose clomid (12.5 mg three times/week) and my test levels and lh have responded really well. i have a thread going if you want to read it. the reason i like the clomid option instead of more traditional trt is you are using your own body and...
Going in for those exact test for the thyroid mon morning. Think I am going to go after this one at a time. Gonna take some erase for a month in the meantime until thyroid therapy is developed.
I am very pleased with my response and lab results. This has made my already great life better.
Had second round of labs run. 2 calendar months to the day.
Free test 29.9 (6.8-21.5)
LH 12.0 (1.7-8.6)
Testosterone 1089 (348-1197)
Estrone 133 (12-72)
Tsh 5.9 (.45-4.5)
Overall the numbers reflect how I feel. Better sleep. Better recovery. 2 inches down on waist size. Strength up.
Next...
I decided to try just one dose as the first one didn't give me trouble each day. Took 1.5 scoops and nothing for the rest of the morning. No problem holding my fast to 2pm. Really glad this is a powder so I can experiment until I figure out what works best.
I'm worried I'm going to have to suspend my run as I am not doing well with the yohimbe. I'm hypersensitive to it (nausea, jittery, feeling off). I already see the positive effects so I'm going to suck it up for a few more days to see if I can get tolerant. Anybody had this experience?
I feel I need to give some back ground for this impromptu review.
I am two weeks into IF. Today fasting from 9pm last night until 3:30 today. Took one scoop alphamine around 9am. Second round noon. Two erase at noon. Hemavol at 12:30. Walked into gym at 1:10.
One the way to the gym I...
Anyone tried this? Took my first dose of alphamine this am (one scoop). Was thinking of a second scoop mixed with hemavol before I hit the gym. Too much?
There are studies showing 3 years of use without adverse effects. However, it doesn't sound like this helped solve your issues. Sounds like there are additional problems that need to be explored with your doctor.
Matrix - you were the first person i came across to discuss the low dose option and turned me onto the idea. After much research my doctor and I decided it was a viable option and so far so good. Thanks for all you do to pass information along. Educating yourself and having a good relationship...
I would say that most every time I have read about side effects with clomid the doses were way higher than 12.5mgs eod. It appears the low dose option has not led to side effects. I am no expert but I feel I have reviewed every single forum post I could find using google. So far I have...
I have been on 12.5mg eod for about five weeks. I have responded very well so far. Strength and endurance are up. Recovery is solid. sleeping better. Up a few lbs and down 1.5 inches on the waist. Will get blood work in 3 wks. Overall I feel a lot better than I did before. More like I did in my...
