I'm not yet being treated for the low thyroid. My antibodies were high, indicating I have Hashimoto's disease, which runs in my family. The doctor did an ultrasound of my thyroid, which came back pretty normal – he said that if I had the characteristic polyps from low thyroid – especially...
wrugg08 - i've been researching this a bit more since I recently started TRT myself – and I'm currently two weeks into an Ostarine "blast" (only 12.5 mg / day). I have read some other reports on this as well - and there is a possibility that the selective nature of the Sarms took priority on the...
I'm now 3 weeks into a TRT regiment (Androgel and just added HCG) and feel fantastic. Not going to try a restart again. Not worth it at my age and why deal with declining levels and symptoms when I can feel great and reap the bennies of higher T? Thanks for everyone's input so far...
OP - how is your cycle going? Also, just looking at your stack, you could probably nix the pregnenalone since the HCG will backfill that hormone.
Movin_weight - you said your bloods came back fine when blasting, does that include lipids?
Just as a follow up to the OP - I would get labs done again and if you are low 400s I would not hesitate. As for me, my new labs just came back and I am 437 Total T which is low for me. I'm 50 and feel fine but as I stated I feel much much better at higher T ,levels and I suspect so will you.
Well brothers, here are my current bloods, after waiting a month and a half after the HPTA restart:
Total Test 437 Ng/dl
Free Test: 75.2 PG/DL (35-155)
Estradiol: 25
LH: 2.7 (1.5-9.3)
SHBG: 38 (10-50)
prolactin 2.7 (1.5-9.3)
Based on the above, I'm likely going to go TRT. No sense trying to...
raulob72 you should try a high intensity training with weights. Two programs I would recommend would be RushFit or AthleneX. The point is - shorter, more intense and less frequent workouts will drop weight and add muscle.
Ditto on the above. With age comes the need for greater discipline and consistency in training otherwise it goes downhill real fast.
Now, just curious - anyone here on TRT but had normal T? I have two doctors that are recommending this for me (I'm 50 y/o but with natty levels in the 600 but...
@Rangnar you need 3,000 IUs / day for about a. Moth or so then you can maintain with 2,000. The dosage in the multivitamin is too low. D3 is actually a hormone that regulates about a dozen body functions and is perhaps the most important vitamin to take. You will no doubt feel the difference...
I don't think Ostarine would cause this at all. I've used it myself, and have read multiple logs with bloodwork and never seen anything like that.
Have you tweaked your TRT protocol? You're free testosterone is way out of range – even for the optimal values that TRT clinic seek. I'm guessing...
Great – glad you did your homework on this and didn't listen to another one of these quack doctors that don't have any real experience with this.
Fwiw - I think your protocol looks good. Have you ever used Clomid before? Some people tolerate it better than others – it comes with a lot of side...
ragnar - D3 is Vitamin D (D3 is the specific type). Most D you buy will be D3. throneof - I had similar experience with D3. Got my Test from 425 to 660
OP - getting back to your original question about Estrogen; total E doesn't really tell anything. You need Estradiol which is the form that aromatizes from Testosterone and causes problems in males. If you are going on cycle you should have this checked and make sure you take an AI like arimidex...
Very true indeed. I'm just trying to get my head around going on TRT myself when my natty levels are around 600 – but I feel so much better when they were artificially pumped up to 900 or thousand. Incidentally – I had a call with the TRT doc – that said their protocol is to try to get men to...
I agree with Ragnar. Fast forward from my last post above – and I ran a cycle of sarms – made some great gains – but my test level was severely suppressed for months - even after a Nolvadex PCT. my doc buddy prescribed me some hCG with som Androgel which I used for 4-5 weeks to get everything...
Other bloods came back showing E2 at 50 and DHEA about 200 (lower end of normal)
I plan to up the AI but not sure about the DHEA or how important it is
I was tapering the dose - so bloods were taken right after dosing every other day - then I did 25 mg every 3rd or 4th day for another two weeks - last dose was last night.
Well bros – I just got my blood back after doing 4 weeks of Clomid at 25 mg every other day and my total Test was 900 Ng/dl - nearly as high as when I was running HCG with Androgel. It goes to show that you really don't need a lot of Serms to do the job - I don't know if results differ for...
