Arite guys here's my long and complicated 2 part story. I'm 18, been working out consistently and correctly for about 2 years, my diet is great, I get tons of sleep, and I don't drink alcohol or use drugs.
At age 17 I realized I had stopped growing, I was 5 ft 6, I got a growth hormone stimulation test and found out I was GH deficient, I also got an MRI of my head and my pituitary gland was VERY small. I was put on rHGH (Nutropin) at 3.6mg per day. I've been on that for about 1 year.
At age 16 I got a hormone panel and my T level was ~220, my LH was low as well. Me and my doctor figured this was okay because I was 16. My dad was a very late bloomer.
At age 17 I reached a plateau in weightlifting so I stupidly ran Epistane. I was gonna run it for 6 weeks but stopped at 3 due to massive lethargy. I got bloods done while I was on epistane and my T went down to ~60. As soon as I went off epistane I began my clomid pct but I stopped it after a few days because it caused HORRIBLE depression. I was then clean for about a month and read that ostarine wasn't suppressive so i got osta from SS. Ran that off and on for extended periods of time without post cycle therapy (pct). I got bloods at some point and my T was still around 60. I was so alarmed because I thought osta wasn't suppressive, FALSE. So i whipped out the clomid again and gave it another shot, ran it for 3 weeks before stopping due to depression, got bloods on clomid, clomid got my T to 400. After this I stayed clean all the way up until now, which has been about 6 months. I got bloods again a week ago and my T was ~220 again. It's wierd though, I look very developed, facial/body hair and muscular (probably from the HGH), I get some acne here and there, a couple back pimples and arm pimples, but inside I feel terrible. My libido is shitty, my energy is awful, I'm off and on depressed, I have no assertiveness, It sucks. I do get morning wood every now and then though. Also my balls aren't that tiny, they seem on the smaller side of normal, but they still hang a little bit and shit. My doctor wrote me a prescription for testosterone injections 75mg/week.
My questions to you guys are, should I go on testosterone replacement therapy (TRT)? Is my T fucked because I have secondary hypogonadism, or is it fucked from the SARMS/PH, or am I just a late bloomer. Note: my test was still low before the sarms/ph at age 16 (220). SERMS are out of the question for me, I can't tolerate clomid and Nolvadex is a proven hepatocarcinogen and taking something like that while on HGH is a death wish IMO. Oh and also I'm having a VERY difficult time making gains in the gym, my strength isn't getting any better, maybe even worse, and I'm not gaining any size either. Even with changing up my exercises and shit like that, and upping my calories.
