l-arginine and me

[gizmo77]

Unfortunately I can't find l-arginine, so I guess I better don't experiment with l-carnitine?

L-carnitine is a-ok for DH, right, it should raise his T?

from what i remember l-car is good for increasing sperm count and motility (i THINK). and is mostly for men and T. but i think ladies CAN take it....

im taking 500mg every other day. and im running outof my gelatin!! nice experiement im running, im not even prepared. i thought the 16oz would be enough for at least 2 weeks. ive had SOME ewcm last night so im hoping my body is pushing thru whatever this stuff is doing for me. im debating to cut L-arg completely or decrease dosage further (every 2-3 days). i DONT want to dry up but then again...isnt the goal to CHANGE your cycle/hormones to get our boys? so i dont know..
one thing i did notice is that ive had more CREAMY cm, and when i tested the pH of that it was 7 or below whereas im usually 7.5 or higher with EWCM and right around O. which is good but then if thats how i am without anything why didnt i get my boy?

i was also thinking of cutting gelatin to 2x/day. i guess i just keep losing focus. i SHOULD be changing my hormones/cycle but the good stuff is going (poosible ovulation coming later and definite decrease in CM). an di DONT want to take another supplement to get my CM back...id rather cut some of the T boosts...right? i feel the less supps the better and more change in diet. i also wish ihad more time (and money) to test out what supps do what to me!!!

But at the same time, change isn't ALWAYS a good thing. You can certainly change your hormones to be more GIRLfriendly too.

I agree about the EWCM, I think you need to get that back again. More important than the pH, I believe.

I don't love people starting and stopping supps (runs the risk that your body ~may~ interpret that as a sign that food is less plentiful than it was) but may very well be the case that you've reaped the benefits to your T levels from the l-arg already and it's not even getting you anything anymore. Testosterone kinda self-perpetuates itself, because when your T goes up it makes you more likely to seek out the kind of stimuli that keeps it higher.

No, you don't HAVE to take them both, it's just that you CAN if you want. It's safe and should only help your blue sway.

Carnitine does a lot of nice things in the body in terms of building and maintaining muscle mass, which will raise your T levels.

AGH old thread here but to update we are finding l-arg messes up some women's cycles and have mostly dropped it for DW.

Carnitine we have also dropped for DW. When you raise T levels too high, your cycle goes nutty.

Both are beneficial to give to DH and let's stick with that.
