Hi Forum,
I have been feeling extremely sluggish over the past year (thought it could be due to depression or other mental health related matters) Well... How wrong I was - I decided to get some bloodwork done at my GP and I am shocked at the results. My testosterone levels came back EXTREMELY LOW (I once used gear about 6 years ago but have always had blood work done; had my test levels checked last around 3 years ago and they were well above baseline) Total Testosterone today was 2.3nmol/L (Ref Range 10.0-35.0) Calculated Free Testosterone 27 pmol/L (Ref Range 225 - 725) completely shut down, WTF?!!! as mentioned I haven't used anabolics in 6 years but these results look like I just came off.
Some brief history on myself I have been weight training for 10 years, always remain relatively lean. I had a full body analysis completed a few weeks ago and my stats are 5 foot 7 inches, 69kgs and currently sitting around 7 - 8 % body fat (Based on a Dexa Scan). I weight train 6 days a week.
My GP has prescribed me HCG injections (200 iu) EOD for the next 30 days and Nolvadex (20 mg for the next 30 days) and Clomid (50mg for the next 30 days) to see if we can get my test levels back to baseline.... If this doesn't work then I will be referred to an Endo/Urologist for TRT.....
Just wondering if anyone can give some further advice, I am anxious to whether there could be underlying health issues causing this... I'm surprised I am still functioning.
