OK - Will try to make this as short as possible. Please bare with me and provide as much feedback as possible. Thank you.
I am 24 years old. Had to stop playing football in March of '03 due to bulging discs in my back. Wanted to build some muscle to help rehab the problem so I visited a nutrition store. The guy gave me M1T and Androdiol Select 300 and said to take them both to put on some serious muscle...I was a naive 19 year old so I didn't realize what I had gotten into until a year later when I looked up the stuff on these forums!!!
I took them for about 4 weeks and then stopped for a few months...then took the M1T again for about 2 weeks..and haven't used any prohormones since.
GYNO - Around 6 months later my nipple hurt and I formed a small bump underneath it. It hasn't gotten any bigger in the past couple years, but it is still sore from time to time, and I can squeeze a whitish discharge out of it if I want to. Gives me a fatty, puffy nipple look which I really hate.
LOW TEST AND LIBIDO - I finally got some bloodwork done recently because I have had a feeling I had low test levels these past couple years. It was nearly impossible to maintain constant erections like I should be able to. And I wasn't seeing the gains in the gym like I should for how much work I was putting in. Also feel like I have the body of a 40 year old (no offense) due to constant aches and pains in the knees, shoulders, and back (that still isn't fixed).
Varicocele - I have had several "worms" near my left testicle for a few years...not sure exactly when it formed. I am pretty sure my testes have shrunk slightly since the M1t and 300. They seem to be the same size, like large grapes, but I get dull aches almost every day in that area. Did some reading on here, and saw that some say it has an effect on TEST levels and other fertility factors.
Initial test (1/23/2008):
Total Test - 221
Free Test - 33.2
This test was done at 6:30 p.m. so I am expecting my new test to show higher TEST levels, but not sure how much higher. Thyroid Panel, CBC, Metabolic Panel, and Lipid Profile were all within normal ranges.
Obviously WAY low for a 24 yo so I went to an ENDO and had more tests done.
I had the minimum labs that JanSz recommended and also had a semen analysis. Haven't gotten all of the results back, but here is what I have so far:
2/13/2008
Testosterone Pending
Estradiol Pending
ATO 481
DHEA SULFATE 110
FSH 2.6
LH 2.5
PROLACTIN 6
CORTISOL, A.M. 10.3
HCG, TOTAL, QN <2
VITAMIN D PENDING
SEMEN ANALYSIS -
APPEARANCE VISCOID
CONCENTRATION 15
TIME OF MOTILITY 30
MOTILITY 63
MORPHOLOGY 48
LIQUEFACTION >60
PH 8.5
RESULTS -
Out of range -
Total Test - 221
Free Test - 33.2
ATO - (anti-streptolysin o) which I looked up, and it says it relates to strep infections??? I was really sick with diarrhea and nausea the night before my testing so does that have some effect here?
Semen Appearance - Viscoid
Sperm Concentration - 15
Liquefaction - >60
PH - 8.5
Low but not out of range -
DHEA, FSH, LH, PROLACTIN, AND CORTISOL
Still waiting on my other results which I believe include: Estradiol, SHBG, and DHT
My original ENDO scheduled me for a follow-up on March 10th, but I don't want to wait that long so I have an appt. tomorrow with a different one so I can go over my results. He does not offer HCG treatment...I have read a lot about it on here, so is this a major concern in my case?
CAN ANYBODY PLEASE GIVE ME SOME ADVICE ON WHAT I SHOULD BE LOOKING FOR AS FAR AS TREATMENT GOES!!! I AM ONLY 24, SO WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO GET MY BODY TO START NATURALLY PRODUCING TEST AGAIN?!? I THINK I SHOULD BE IN THE 600 TO 800 RANGE, RIGHT???
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
