Help with low test, or I think its low, not sure.

[dondon]

Hi, I'm new to TRT and would like some info. I had done steroids in the past and I never did a good PCT afterwards. I'm 43 now and the last time I did them I was 37. Anyway, I recently went to a doctor whom I thought I would get a script from, but he said I was within normal range....which I expected from him. I still feel like S**T and I know my body and I think I'm low. My test levels read 449 total? SHBG 48.3 and free test was at 7.24, I hope I have this right, its off memory. I know the numbers are right, but the free and total numbers might be mixed up.

Is there a doctor in the house?

Thank you Matrix, I'm going in for a CBC this week to check everything, I just did Testosterone on this last one. If you don't mind answering this for me, but what is it usually when you have low semen volume, I mean real low. Can you pinpoint just one thing or is it multi contributing factors?

Low lh can cause this. When i.recommend drs clomid for their patients the response.one.gets is increased.load volume. Lol Their are.other factors, but with only.detailed information would one be able.to.make.some.better evaluations. High e2 can.make you.fire.off easily. Cc will check nothing in.relationship to.hormones. You.need the right estradiol test.

Thanks again Matrix, LOL @ load volume. I can't wait to have everything checked this week. I found a HRT doctor here in NY which is rare these days, hes open on a lot of things like you are, hopefully this will get me to where I need to go, feeling like S**T everyday is not cool.

If.your.Dr is.on.board and.open is a good thing. I.consult with.many medical.professional in the usa and.have.not.found a good one in ny yet. If.he's.open.minded.be glad.to.possible have a Working relationship so.i.can send.him.other people.to.him. Im working with.Dr.O on mutual cases with Dr Shippen the.guy.who.wrote the.book.on trt

I will definitely let you know, hes down on Park ave, he charges $300 consultation and he gets a discount for blood work which would be another $300, that test would normally be $1500. He prescribes anti estrogens, test, Semorolin (GH) and some other stuff. I'll let you know how it goes.

Semorelin is.old.school waste of.money. Blood.work.should.be ran through your insurance not.have to.pay for.it.out.of.pocket. Other wise.he.got the proper.materials.for.hormones but.does.he.look.out side that to.other factors. I.have learned.hormones are.just 25%.of.the.equation to.total.health ..

[dondon]

I heard Sermorelin is a waste, his salesman just threw it out there, I had done Jintropin years ago and loved it and I know there is no better. I'm more interested in test or anti estrogens to be honest. I know something is off, I feel emotional as of late, I wake up that way...feel that way all day and go to sleep that way. I know it must be estrogen. I don't wake up with wood, somethings up.

At 449 I would feel like **** also! My doc keeps me in the 700 range.

You're right and I do. I did chest yesterday and I was able to do 120's for chest presses, strength is there, but my feeling of well being is in the S***ter. IDC, what does he do to keep you in the 700 range?

[dondon]

I met with the doctor and after reviewing my chart, Free test was at 8.75 total was at 400 and my cholesterol was at 235 which is not good, I never was high in my life, but this is because I been lazy and eating out a lot instead of making my own meals at home. So anyway, he is writing me a script for Test Cypionate along with anti estrogens for 10 weeks, included in this package will be HCG shots for 2 weeks after my course of Test. Good news for sure, I know I'll feel a lot better.

So you are going on a cycle rather than finding out what is wrong....

"Package deal" is huge red flag

Well whats left to find out? I'm low, I tried everything from Paleo diets to test boosters. I know when I did cycles years ago, I never did a good post cycle...so I must have shut something down OR I might be fine and just have low T and that's all there is to it. What other leads could there be? I have good sleep, friends, and a social life, so I can rule out stress, the only problem is low T and its effects.

Why?

[v4lu3s]

You are not doing trt
That is a pretty standard steroid cycle.

[v4lu3s]

Trt is for life.
