I've asked this on another forum but am honestly not sure if I can trust anyone there. I'm new here, but this place seems less sales-y.
I've got a total t level between 305 and 360 (range is 170-870 on first lab, 250-1100 on second lab), free test at 79.7 (range is 35-155), TSH at 4.7 (range is 0.40-4.50), estradiol at 14 pg/ml (range is < or = 29). So low T, low free T, overactive TSH, low E2.
I train for sprinting. Obviously, having T this low explains pretty well why I've been getting slow *as each season goes on* for the past 3 years that I've been at it. I've had my best results when I've had the least training. Low T = fast twitch fiber fatigue, decreased CNS ability (I think).
Anyway, Doctor 1 told me he'd likely prescribe me a SERM like Clomid to boost natty production but that he doesn't actually prescribe them and referred me to Doctor 2 - who he said likely would prescribe Clomid. My appointment with Doctor 2 is at the end of this month.
I'm thinking of adding a SARM to that SERM. I know that SARMs are mildly suppressive but I would guess (based on my extremely limited knowledge) that the level of suppression here would be more than offset by the increase in test from the SERM and the strength/power increases from the SARM.
IS THERE ANYTHING I'M MISSING HERE? Is it a bad idea to take a SARM while taking a SERM?
PostScript 1: I know that Clomid-solo isn't really a favored long-term solution for low T. If I'm not feeling the positive effects then I'll obviously look to getting a doctor who will prescribe the injections.
PostScript 2: I'll probably add this to another forum, but am I offbase in thinking that a SARM could help in sprinting ability? I'm talking short sprints - 100/200m, so nothing aerobic. I'd want to add as much strength with as little mass as possible. I see some people recommending S4 for explosive sports, but I'm not sure if there's any merit to that.
