Thanks! I have a kid on the way due in January, no other kids. I was off everything from Feb 2022 to Feb 2023. From June 2022 to Sept 2022 i ran hcg at 1000 eod. Got a sperm eval in sept and revealed 0 sperm. Started FSH at 75iu EOD between the HCG days. In December got another sperm eval and was at 9mil/ml then another sperm eval in Feb and was at 12mil/ml. In Feb we successfully conceived. Then I started my cycle as soon as I got the positive. In March we had a miscarriage. In April we conceived again. I would imagine by April I was at 15mil/ml considering the sperm you make isn’t ejaculated until 3 months later so that would have been made in Jan/Feb and technically my sperm count would have started dropping around May/June after that and probably back to 0 at this point.
Am i worried about enlarged heart? No. But my resting heart rate right now is 65. The thicker and bigger and more inefficient the heart gets the higher the resting heart rate goes. Mine I’m sure by now is probably similar to a normal athletic heart maybe a little bigger at 10-30% larger than a normal heart. It’s when the resting heart rate starts climbing to 80’s-90’s that something bad is happening/coming. It doesn’t necessarily mean the heart is becoming very inefficient, it could be stimulant based… but.. it would be worth getting it checked out. Good news about the heart is it atrophies quickly just like any other muscle. When you come off and take a break, it shrinks. I had my heart checked during my year off break and it was normal. If you are concerned… go get it checked. Keeping your head in the sand is the only reason you’ll worry. Being informed takes away the mystery. NONE OF WHAT WE DO MAGICALLY COMES OUT OF NOWHERE. If we are diligent and getting our shit checked we will see things coming and can make adjustments before they come. If we stay checked up and informed we have nothing to worry about. If your heart is significantly enlarged take time off. So what, you’ll shrink a little. It’ll all come back as soon as you hop back on. In that time off do cardio instead to get the heart super efficient and healthy so when you go back on gear it can handle it. Nobody ACTUALLY cares how big you are. Initially it might catch their attention but ultimately it’s your personality and attitude that people will like about you. DONT LET YOUR PHYSIQUE BE THE MOST INTERESTING THING ABOUT YOU. If you live by that, you’ll learn to be comfortable with your body growing and shrinking, getting fat, getting cut… nobody really gives a shit what your body ultimately looks like, especially if you’re dead.
