Enclomiphene Results (Month 1)

[mraajr]

A month-ish ago I started taking Enclomiphene (12.5 mg ED). Total testosterone is up from 458 to 1100. Estradiol up from 18 to 41. Free testosterone is up from 63 to 190. The estradiol number is the one I am slightly concerned with, but given the ratio of total test/estradiol, I do not believe it to be too high. Though I have definitely noticed a slight increase in emotional response. Not anger or anything like that. Just that sappy videos and stories seem to make me a bit more emotional than I feel like they probably have in the past, if that makes sense.

It seems like no matter what peptide/drug, etc., I take, I respond extremely well to it. Does anyone think I should possibly cut the dose in half, or are these numbers relatively good? Just looking for some experiences other people have had on Enclo.

FWIW, I tried 12.5 mg/caps clomiphene first. Starting testo was 403. Went to 749 after one month and Estradiol also went up from 25.4 to 47.6.

Switched to Enclomiphene, 12.5 mg oral. One month later, testo was 896 and Estradiol went back down to 36.1. Free T went from 5.5 to 9.4 over that 60 days.

So let me ask this. I'm seeing multiple doses from various sellers. 50mg, 25mg and 12.5mg. Is 12.5mg just the cheapest or are prices similar across the doses? I know Clomid comes in 50mg pills but is the price difference that much more? I've been really looking into it, but don't know if I should. I gained weight on Clomid and had to stop because of it.

Ah the clomid therapy they've been using many years in Europe. In the US they can't wait to feed you testosterone and get that prostate swole. Impressive results, I had no idea it could double or triple you're numbers.... I don't think the estrogen is high and if you feel well and aren't retaining water and have no sides then that works. I think we consider desirable estrogen between 10-40 but they say even 50 is ok.... when I blast aas I come in at 95 and take an aromatose inhibitor.

I was floored when I read the results. I could not believe it got my test that high in such a short amount of time. I didn't want to go straight to test, so I figured Enclo would be worth trying. I am probably retaining some water, but part of that is from MK677 and Tesamorelin also. My estrogen went up almost the exact same percentage as my testosterone, so I figured 41 wasn't too bad, although it was on the higher end of the reference range.

From what I have seen, the higher you go in mg, the better deal you get. I just went with the 12.5 mg capsules because that was the dosage that I wanted to take. I think I could probably cut it back to 6.25 and be fine, albeit maybe with a slightly lower test number.

I did not want to try Clomid because of the propensity to raise your estradiol levels beyond a desirable amount. That is supposed to have been mitigated almost completely with the Enclo.

Does enclomiphene cause you to gain weight/retain water?

 

[mraajr]

Does enclomiphene cause you to gain weight/retain water?

It is hard to speak on the water retention because I also take MK-677 and Tesamorelin, both of which can cause you to retain water. I do think I hold a bit of extra water weight, but I am unsure which of the three is causing it.

I have not gained any weight on it, but I am also in a pretty significant calorie deficit on Reta.

 

[Zydeceltico]

Does enclomiphene cause you to gain weight/retain water?

I do not find myself retaining water at all and I have been using enclomipohene and Tesamorelin since the beginning of August. I read about a lot of others retaining water but that has definitely not been the case for me. No bloat whatsoever. And I've lost a steady 1-1/2 to 2 lbs every week since then also.

How do you know its enclo and bot chlomid what alot of suppliers do?

 

[yrrdead]

Just had to stop. Started about the same time as Reta. Was dosing 12.5mg eod for first 6 weeks. Then bumped to every day. Last week started having some minor vision issues, which being old(44) I kind of dismissed until I saw a post mentioning this as a side effect to enclomiphene.

Just bringing this up as something to watch out for.

Wow - wish my endo hadn't been so lazy and stupid all those years ago .. these sound like very promising TRT treatments. Wonder if they'd work after suppressing my endogenous system for 17 years ..

 

[Zydeceltico]

How do you know its enclo and bot chlomid what alot of suppliers do?

I do not DEFINITIVELY know. What I DO know is that:

1) On June 6, I had my testosterone and estradiol labs run for a baseline (403 and 25.4);

2) July 3 started clomiphene citrate through an online med spa;

3) July 29 had testo and estradiol labs run again and testo was 700 and estradiol nearly doubled to 48

4) Aug 5, stopped clomiphene and started enclomiphene from a trusted supplier;

5) Aug 29 ran labs again and testo was 896 and estradiol had dropped to 36

I haven't checked since but plan on running labs again Jan 26.

The continued rise in testo at the switch and the drop in estradiol, are exactly what one should expect with enclomiphene - but no - I have not had it tested - and again - I very much trust this particular supplier and I would not trust many if any others.

......which being old(44)........

puleeeezzzzzzzzzzz......LOL

44 was the absolute prime of my life - - - although that is now a far distant memory sort of.........

LOL....62 btw and other than a bum shoulder and getting a heart cath this Friday, I'm feeling in my (second) prime!! LOL

Are you taking it as PCT or just to raise your T without steroids? Cause 1100 is alot!

Congratulations on success with the Enclomiphene!

Can I ask what age group you are in? I have read that the Enclomiphene has less effect on increasing the testosterone from the Leydig cells as you move up in age, and possibly will have no effect on men over ~50, obviously this is different for everyone.

Have you tested to see what your T came up to, and if so, what was your dosage prior to the test?

Why enclomiphene or clomid over testosterone? Wouldn’t testosterone be the “cleaner” more “studied” way to raise testosterone? I understand why doctors prescribe enclomiphene. It’s not a controlled substance therefore less scrutiny in their prescribing practices if they use enclomiphene over testosterone . I’m just wondering if it’s the best option though for older men not wanting to preserve fertility? As I see it TRT negatives would be : raises hct/hgb, maybe increase PSA, worse sleep apnea, requires monitoring, is a controlled substance so harder to get, will effect fertility, and requires a commitment to stay on for the long haul once you start. The negatives for enclomiphene would be: suppresses the estrogen receptors which can lead to decreased CV protection, possible bone loss, loss of estrogen protection on the brain, loss of libido (estrogen has a big effect on libido for men), mood changes, much less studied, can raise SHBG which effects free T.

I guess at the end of the day if you’re an older man (mid 50’s and older) who doesn’t want to maintain fertility and wants the benefit of a well studied approach to treating declining testosterone , why wouldn’t you choose testosterone if given that option by a medical provider?

Why enclomiphene or clomid over testosterone?

Because enclo uses your own natural processing to create test whereas TRT does not and once you're using TRT, your natural ability diminishes.

Albeit, this only works for folks who are still able to produce SOME test. Mine was 400 prior to enclo. I wanted TRT. Doc told me I should try clomid/enclo first and let my body makes its own if it could. Mine can. Test is 750-850 - and all produced by my own body.

Won't work for everyone.
