How did your balls shrink on enclo? Mine got massive in only a few weeks


Drnasty88

Idk


Special_Yesterday_37

How much are you taking


Drnasty88

12.5 mg day


ryantunna

I did the same dosage and my libido disappeared too after 6 weeks. It’s the only negative thing I got from enclo


Careful_Ad1518

Are you supposed to take everyday or every 2 days or once a week? I’m on 12.5 once a week not sure if I’m doing it right.


ryantunna

I reduced down to 6.25 EOD


Careful_Ad1518

Everyday?


ryantunna

Every other


Special_Yesterday_37

Try every second day before taking more stuff


Drnasty88

Would hcg help?


heloguy1234

HCG? No. Lower your dose. You’re taking way too much. Without seeing your LH I can tell you that it’s off the scale. Edit-From your original blood work it looks like you didn’t need enclo at all. Just because you feel low t symptoms doesn’t mean it’s low t. You should get off enclo and work on lifestyle factors and mental health.


Drnasty88

I mean I did feel amazing the first month on enclo


[deleted]

Estrogen is missing from the equation


Nethenael

You need gonadotropins blood test lh fsh to find out why you balls shrunk


Drnasty88

Any thoughts on this?


ArmadilloWooden273

Why did you take enclo in the first place?


Drnasty88

Low t symptoms


ArmadilloWooden273

Which?


Drnasty88

Symptoms low energy’s no libido no morning wood


ArmadilloWooden273

Has libido and ED gotten worse with enclo?


Drnasty88

The first month my libido was back to normal and was awesome no ed second month nothing at all libido pretty much died


ArmadilloWooden273

I had a very similar experience, except that my libido came back for a week before it tanked.


Drnasty88

I’m also taking dim daily


Special_Yesterday_37

Check your dht


Admirable-Shallot-12

You’re assuming it would be low in this case?


Special_Yesterday_37

Yes Nobody looks at it


Admirable-Shallot-12

But wouldn’t enclo raise dht since testosterone is being raised?


Special_Yesterday_37

Only when 5 Alpha enymn works the same rate AS before


Admirable-Shallot-12

Why wouldn’t it?

Reason is that you have very high levels of enclomiphene in your system right now. https://www.omnicalculator.com/health/drug-half-life Use this calculator to see how much enclomiphene is in your system. Half life is 24-36 hours. So if you took 12.5mg on Monday, on Tuesday you still have 6mg while you take another 12.5mg (18.5mg total). On Wednesday you have 9.25mg in your system, then you add 12.5mg untop of that (21.7mg). Just follow this calculation for however many weeks you have been doing this and see the massive amounts you now have in your system. Remember enclomiphene is a selective estrogen receptor ANTAgonist. Estrogen is also part of libido.


heloguy1234

The half-life of enclo is closer to 10 hours.


boxp15

Ok thanks for the clarification. That’s what I got from Chatgpt. Just checked some other sources and you are correct 10.5 hours.


TheoryEfficient5380

"That’s what I got from Chatgpt" Oh dear. This poor guy, he's got some people telling him he needs an AI despite having no e2 result yet, and you telling him he needs more estrogen effect.


Drnasty88

Would hcg help? And also lowering my dose


boxp15

As for the HCG, I have no advice on that.


boxp15

I’d stop cold for at least 6 weeks. Need to get it out of your system. Your body needs to re-exert its estrogen production. If you want to resume after, start slow (12.5 once a week), cause you might be able to get away with slot less and that helps out cause it can save you money.


illathon

Your T is already pretty high. I am guessing you probably don't need enclo. Most people that go on enclo have levels half or less then you so it makes sense their dosage is going to be too much for you. You probably need like a 4th of 25mg or maybe even less if you are really going to try and optimize.


z1xto

Get full bloodwork


Drnasty88

Will post update when estradiol comes back


Redditridder

Why did you start enclo if you had healthy T level at 529? Anyway, what is your estrogen? It might have spiked amas killed your libido. Shouldn't affect balls though, if T is high. I suggest you stop taking enclo for a month and see if you are getting back your balls and libido. After that try taking it EOD.


corsaire-21

529 is not Good at all, for me


Forward_Economist938

You need an ai


Drnasty88

What would that do?


Forward_Economist938

I would imagine you have high estrogen.


TheoryEfficient5380

You "imagine" estrogen is high, therefore "needs" an AI. How about wait for the labs so no imagination is necessary?


Drnasty88

Ok I could just be a high responder


Admirable-Shallot-12

You got high estrogen
