Post Ella Experience

[snowball]

As some of you might remember, I did a 2-day Ella trial and got some positive results. However, last week had a “brief bout of diarrhea” (similar to how my PFS started many years back after taking fin and saw palmetto) and soon after that rapidly started losing gains:
- Pain in left butt (back to pre-Ella)
- Penis length and girth reduced (back to pre-Ella)
- balls a bit tighter (still better than what it was before Ella)
- Low energy
- Digestion worsened a bit (still better than what it was before Ella)

Licorice helped in increasin energy and concentration levels (took twice a week after Ella trial) but not sure if anti-androgenic properties eventually messed up with Ella.....

Also, took b- vitamins a week after Ella. Is there anything else I’m missing here when compared to those who got persistent gains with Ella? What is the reason behind diarrhea that somehow wipes out my gains every time I’m back to normal?

Shall I try Ella again - was cycle too short? Or go with RU?

Thoughts?

I know progesterone cream has been helpful for some.. does it helps in keeping DHT related benefits after stopping Ella?

You might be interested in my RU trial (link to log below).
Do you have any PRL inhibitors in case you prolactin would go high?
Nevertheless, if I were you, I'd just go with ARL/TEI.

Thanks!

I read your blog. How is your progesterone- it went up after RU? Is it?

I took Ella so likely less chances of prolactin going up.

Not taking Prolactin inhibitor such as Mucuna however ordered it yesterday so should be with me next week.

Yep, it went up 2x.
I feel worse now - sex and erection seem like an extremely distant dream.
I wouldn't inhibit prolactin without testing.

Generally there is a snap back period with RU or Ella. In my case, I noticed improvements after sometime however could not retain everything - but still slightly better than baseline(so far)..

Since you took RU on 20th, I will suggest waiting another week or so.
