41y/o Lab result feedback

I had my own blood work done about 2 months ago; didn't go through a doctor since I wanted to have my own baseline and I also didn't want to put doctors on alert and result in discriminating because they thought I'm trying to get something out of them. I'm not looking for TRT and don't want them to immediately jump to that conclusion; I'm just trying to figure out if anything is out of whack with my body.

I'm just looking for general thoughts/feedback based on the numbers from my lab results. My gut tells me that my results are likely fine/atypical, aligns for someone my age, and that there's no obvious issue here. Let me know what you think. I understand no one here is a doctor, and any input provided is simply opinion or anecdotal. I've added additional context and the lab results below. I appreciate the help
  • I have a CMP14+CBC/D/PLT panel results as well, and I can post them up, but I don't think there's anything interesting in there, or anything that would be relative to the particular sex/libido issue I'm looking at. Everything there is normal range, pretty boring numbers.

Sex/Libido
What prompted this was I didn't feel that my libido is quite what it used to be, my erections aren't great (not bad... but not great), rarely have morning wood and pretty much never have random boners, drugs like viagra (rarely used) don't provide the kick they once did, and sometimes porn doesn't even do it for me.

High level cycle history, and current stats:
My last cycle was 8 years ago, proper PCT was done. It's only within the last 1-2 years that I've been questioning if I'm "operating" the way I should be; meaning I haven't felt I had any gym performance or sex/libido issues up until 1-2 years ago. I still work out ~5 days a week, currently I'm 5'8" @ 170lbs (always had a hard time retaining my gains) and my bodyfat is lowish @ 10-11% using a 6 site measurement. With that said, I eat well and clean, but I also feel like my performance has been declining, retaining the muscle mass I have is becoming harder, and I'm seeing ever so slight increase in fat. However this is not the primary reason I started looking into blood work; this is just supplemental information if it helps provide any useful context.

less libido and fat gains are common as we age, you might look into natural test boosters---sustain alpha is very good for libido, and iron legion has a 40% off sale going on, invictus is very good at targeting belly fat...combo of sustain aplha/invictus might resolve your issues-NATURALLY.

Thanks TheBigT; appreciate the input, and I'll give sustain alpha a go. Not sure I need invictus, as I'm pretty trim. My comments on my slight increase in body fat was just observation, most "normal" people would laugh if they heard me say that.

Another piece of information is that I only have 1 testicle due to having testicular torsion as a kid. I've always been told that hormone production is fine with 1 nut, but I've always been skeptical of that. It's not like my remaining testicle became super sized. I just can't see how one teste could ever generate the same amount of hormone as two... but I am not a doctor so wtf do I know. I'm curious to hear anyone's thoughts on this, specifically in relation to aging/getting older.

you are in luck---iconicformulations.com just posted up halloween sale---save 30% off all products including sustain alpha. from personal experience i can tell you that sustain alpha is awesome for libido-i am 62 and it works great!!!
 
Usually the remaining testicle fails at some point since it works overtime. This might be why you have lowish T and feel off. But this test could be an off day too. You need a series of test to see the pattern.

Are you using zinc/copper/magnesium? They're under rated for HPTA support.

not sure of his age, but getting older and only having one functioning testicle, i would say that total test in the 400 range isn't all that bad.

@send0 what is your age?

I'm 41 years old. For reference the tests were taken at 8:30am.

I believe at the time of the tests that I was taking ZMA, Tribulus, DIM, D3, Ashwagandha, and Mucuna. I've since dropped everything except for ZMA, D3, and Ashwagandha.

i'm 62 and am on trt prescribed 100mg weekly testosterone injections and my total test is in the 600 range. for you to be 41 with just one functioning testicle that really isn't that bad for now, eventually you will go low enough that you should go on trt.

if you are mainly looking for libido boost and feel good/mood effect then i highly suggest sustain alpha, especially since it's 30% off right now.
 
Tribestan is great for libido taken as directed. Makes me very aggressively horny, the wife likes it.

Those are staples for me. Tribestan makes life fun. We got a weekend away together and I wore her out using it. Tribestan is the only brand that did what it does.

gotcha!!!
 
Pt-141 is a research peptide that is suppose to produce raging boners. I have no experience with it but got some on the way to play with. Won’t help the other issues but may be worth a look
