[Aude_Aliquid_Dignu]

Need suggestions to get my the following results b/c its where I have felt the best in the past:
*Free Test +20
*Total Test +800
*SHBG +10

Challenges:
*I Don’t think orals work with me
*Don’t want to use an AI and I am a high aromatizer
*Don’t want to Blast

Most Recent Changes (free test stayed the same, total increase 410 to 486) :
*Microdosing daily
*Daily Clomid @ 25mg
*add +55mg Test from last bloodwork

I will talk to my doctor about any changes suggest, and I tell her everything anyway, let me know if you have any suggestions please and thank you!

My lizard brain is screaming proviron, but before you dismiss it out of hand, please consider that it is quite different from other oral steroids.

 

[NeuroRN]

Why are you using clomid and test? Just curious. I’m pretty sure it can cause joint pain. I’m confused why you would take it on test. Enlighten me!

Mast and proviron will get your free test up.

 

[Aude_Aliquid_Dignu]

I’m single digits on my SHBG and currently working that back up to a more normal range, so I am worried that Prov and Mast would crush it again.

I can’t find a lot of evidence that Primo has a strong affinity for SHBG so I am strongly considering giving that a 16 weeker at 350mg. Think that would help?

Clomid is doctor prescribed to keep the boys functionally swimming for future impregnation purposes haha. I upped it 75mg a week (basically 1/2 pill daily) in hopes of naturally helping the test levels go up.

I had my total up to the 900’s at one point last year but I think that was because srx deca was, in fact, test.

 

[Aude_Aliquid_Dignu]

Worried that would crush my SHBG levels again. It is awesome for lowering it, which is good for people not like me.

 

[NeuroRN]

What’s your prolactin? That will crush your SHBG if it’s high.

 

[NeuroRN]

I would say instead of adding things, cut back on things. Strip down to basic test and see what labs do.

 

[Aude_Aliquid_Dignu]

you know what…they haven’t tested that since i onboarded at the trt clinic Oct '20

 

[Aude_Aliquid_Dignu]

My last numbers where test and deca only at 2:1 and the numbers did rebound slightly.
So maybe give it another 3 months and see, huh?

 

[NeuroRN]

I would imagine if you’ve been on a 19 nor and hgh a fair amount your prolactin could be the cause. Hgh caused my prolactin to skyrocket.

 

[Aude_Aliquid_Dignu]

hGH was already definitely on my no fly list.
I’ll take the Deca out and see if that helps.

Contrary to the Title; I’m Confuzzled about 19-nors and prolactin after reading this tho…

Interesting read. Thanks

 

[Aude_Aliquid_Dignu]

@NeuroRN I don’t know if you noticed this but thank you for the Tudca and Glutathione supplement recommendation from this past January as well.

It not only helped get the ALT and AST number back to normal, they are slightly better now.

People…listen to this guy he will point you in the right direction more times than not!!!

People…listen to this guy he will point you in the right direction more times than not!!!

Agreed…I always do!

 

[NeuroRN]

Haha glad to hear it buddy!

If I’m wrong, I’m usually the first person to admit it! Thanks for the kind words.

 

[Louisianastrength]

DIM will control estrogen levels
Proviron up the free test

 

[Aude_Aliquid_Dignu]

shbg will suffer on proviron which I am not looking to do any further than I already have.

I am willing to let e2 run until I have to cut back test I think…. Which I am at my limit now.

 

[Dirtnasty]

So your. It goig to get free test up with out lowering shgb that’s just how it works. They go hand and hand.

 

[Aude_Aliquid_Dignu]

For sure…i get it, but I need to normalize my shbg levels after crushing them with hHG.

They went from 10.7 with free test at 35 to 1.4 and free test at 15.

now, after a few months, shbg is back to 7.7 but free test is still holding at 15.

Something else is going on…maybe prolactin is high, as suggested, so maybe more time is needed to get that down so shbg can go up. (Hand in hand as you said but different reasoning)
