[ParquetPatquet]

I've been lurking here for awhile, and I figured I need an intro.

I'm in my mid 40s, 5'11'', around 158lbs, with 16% body fat, according to my scale. I try to get to 150g protein per day. Currently lifting 3x per week, and slowly losing fat since I'm on a calorie deficit. I've been lifting on and off for 10 years, and it's only this year that I've broken a lot of PRs.

My stack :
- retatrutide 10mg weekly
- rosuvastatin 10mg daily
- Ezetimibe 10mg daily
- vitamin D 5k iu daily
- chelated copper 2.5mg due to copper imbalance
- enclomiphene 12.5mg 3x a week

Recent blood test results :
- LH: 9.8
- FSH : 3
- total test : 994
- free test : 171
- SHBG : 52
- Estradiol : 46
- ldl : 27
- egfr, cystatin c: 110
- fasting insulin : 3
- hs crp : 0.4
- a1c: 5.2
- igf1 : 166, z-score of 0.1

It's my second month on enclomiphene, and although I feel fine, I am worried about that Estradiol number getting too high. To be fair, previous numbers without enclomiphene have always consistently been in the low 300s. Base test levels without enclomiphene are 550 total, and 12 free.

I got on here because I thought there would be a chance I needed trt, due to dramatic muscle loss over the last 2 years, and fatigue. It turns out I needed to dial in on the basic stuff : way more lifting, and more protein.

I've learned a lot here, and am looking forward to learn frok other people's experiences here.

where do you get your enclomiphine from?

Defy Medical. If I were buying enclomiphene from China or India, I would definitely test it with Janoshik. I've seen too many cases of "Pharma " enclomiphene really being clomiphene (either via testing or in fine print in the medication label) .
