Give it a few more weeks, maybe a couple of months, then retest. If it comes back down more, you will have your answer.

You may have answered your own question. If the only thing that changed was subq to IM, I would suspect that, in your particular case. Were you doing subq or im for the blood work last week?

One side bar on studies: always follow the money and always check the data carefully. Companies have a financial interest in seeing their products to market, so they may fund studies that look for certain things while glossing over others. In addition, data can be presented in a way that gives...

I have a follow up post on that BUT am not sure what the policies are here for posting provider information. I tried a few, some were good, some were not. I'm going to see if I can determine what is OK to say regarding vendors and re-post that info as well, if allowed.

Enclomiphene is clomid minus zuclomiphene. Zuclomiphene is the estrogenic part of clomid, while Enclomiphene is more the pure SERM portion. I did a writeup elsewhere, I keep meaning to repost it here. In short, I tried it as HRT and couldn't get it quite right for me, thus my shift to the needle.

I probably missed it, but why in the fresh hell are you being refused thyroid meds?

She totally can! In fact, I encourage it! :LOL: But I don't apply to my package, just to the tops of the feet (sometimes), or delts / upper arms, sometimes glutes. Plus, I REALLY don't think transference is that big a problem in that scenario, being as I'm only applying a single "click" (1/4...

Cialis provides incremental improvement. I mostly like it for the bit of BP help it provides. 5mg is approved for BPH but I don't think it really does much for me in the way of the Department of Wood, I don't really need it for that. Now, 10mg on the daily, that is a different story. What's...

Did the follow up with my doc yesterday and that is what he said, too. So we aren't officially doing anything about it at this time, though I may microdose fina super low to see if I get prostate relief without sides. Because anybody can just do what their doc says, but some of us earn the...

I thought it might be too, but the cream application is not that bad. One "click" (4 clicks per ml) is about the size of a dime, and spreads out over an area maybe the size of a dollar bill. I like to really work it in, though, as it dries pretty quick like that, maybe 3 minutes or so. It's...

Pregnancy test will work. I had a vendor ship hcg that wouldn't trigger the test and they ended up giving me store credit. They DID try to snow job me at first, but I was persistent and had the evidence, so they made it right.

Actually, that does raise a follow up question. Is my DHT REALLY that high? Like, what is the highest you have seen on your bloods? That question is for anybody, BTW.

I laughed harder than I should have at that 🤣

If by hair issues you mean "bald as my avatar", then oh yes 😆 I've been bald for 20+ years, balding for longer than that. I'm 54 now, BTW. Point being, the hair loss ship sailed long ago for me. Only real concern I have is prostate... BPH is an ongoing issue for me, even pre HRT. We keep a...

This is the compounded 20% cream, not the gel. My doc just likes to give it a try before going to the needle. And hey, it does seem to work lol, just too much DHT conversion. Though I'm not 100% shut down yet either, maybe when LH gets closer to 0 I will like the cream less. Really don't like...

So, it's been a minute. Well, I'm back... kind of like herpes, I never really go away, just pop up when you least expect it. :) Anyhow, I switched from SERM based HRT to Testosterone cream based with HCG about 3 months ago. My first bloodwork follows, but in short: it is working so far for...

Is that far enough out for the effects of the clomid to be done? I've always heard 6 to 8 weeks after PCT wraps, but maybe that is old thinking. I know that the enclomiphene part of clomid only has like a 10 to 12 hour half life, but the zuclomiphene part is on the order of 10 days, IIRC.

I couldn't tell exactly, but when did you get the bloodwork relative to your last dose of Clomid? Your "real numbers" could be skewed from that.

The Wire is in the queue, with maybe 20 others lol

Home gym here, but man, my tastes vary. Punk, metal, hard rap, hard rock: AC/DC Judas Priest The Clash The Dead Kennedys Public Enemy Rob/White Zombie Iron Maiden Motorhead Body Count Megadeth etc Outside the gym, I include more stuff, but when I'm working out, I like to keep it intense...
