Enclomiphene in three weeks Took My natural Test from 400 to 850.
Ran labs before and during this protocol and wanted to share my experience plus get feedback from others who know this space.
I’ve been running enclomiphene at 12.5 mg daily (half tab), tesamorelin 1 mg in the mornings, 1 IU HGH in the evenings, retatrutide 2 mg weekly, along with light cardio runs 5 days a week and about 20 minutes of resistance training 6 days a week. I’m also keeping protein intake high and trying to stay consistent rather than overcomplicate everything. I became interested in it after I saw HIMS offer it ((bundled with a low dose Cialis) for something around $3k a year--I found much better overseas sourcing as others do)).
The biggest measurable change so far was enclomiphene taking my total testosterone from around 400 to 850 while staying natural production based. That was a modest increase in energy. Subjectively, I’m seeing solid benefits in energy, recovery, body composition, and overall wellbeing, but nothing over-the-top or dramatic. It feels more like steady building rather than a rapid transformation, which honestly is what I was hoping for.
My goal also isn’t to get huge. I still want to be able to run and jog regularly, keep endurance, and build more of a lean swimmer-type physique. I worked hard to lose the weight, and my focus now is staying toned, athletic, and capable rather than chasing maximum size. I'll probably never lose the body dysmorphia but that's more for therapy (or dealt with during a long run).
I’ve also noticed a nice benefit from the retatrutide once the early side effects faded. At first I had some adjustment issues with sleep and heart rate, but those settled down. Since then it has been a strong addition for appetite control, staying leaner, and overall momentum.
The low-dose HGH also seems to be helping my midsection firm up. After losing around 30-40 pounds, I had some sagging through the stomach area, and that has been improving. My resistance training sessions have also noticeably improved, including better pull-up performance and overall workout quality. I was told to consider raising the IGF (via the Hgh or tesa) slightly to assist all that extra testosterone to build some lean muscle/ recovery.
One thing worth mentioning is I haven’t experienced the side effects some people talk about with these kinds of compounds. No major ongoing issues so far, and I’m guessing the lower doses may be helping there.
Another thing I like is avoiding TRT for now. No oils, no larger injections, no full replacement commitment, and no dealing with some of the downsides that can come with that route.
Just today, I also had a bottle of ostarine 25 mg and have been following the VERU / enobosarm trial discussions, so I recently added a short 2-3 week experiment at 6 mg daily, or possibly every other day after the first week depending on how I respond. From what I’ve seen, some of the VERU trial dosing discussed for endosarm/enobosarm was even lower, around 3 mg daily, which made me curious about whether lower-dose approaches can still be effective while minimizing negatives.
Overall I’m very happy with where things are heading. For anyone more experienced than me, is there anything you’d change, cycle, reduce, or add? Would you stay the course if labs and side effects remain good, or make adjustments now before long-term use?
