First some information

29 year old male, been working out on-and-off since I was 16, currently it's been 4 years uninterrupted in the gym, however, in the last two I've seen my performance decrease dramatically.

Since I was a kid, I was always interested in AAS, but mostly kept it as a research topic.

Because of the decreased performance in the gym, increased time to heal, drop in libido, overall tiredness, a brutal work schedule, and being almost 30, I got some gear and planned to start a fairly standard 12-week 500mg test E cycle, with HCG to keep the friends happy and another standard clomid/nolva PCT.

A blood work in my country is pretty costly, but I got one anyway, with the reasoning that I would have a baseline in case I end up destroying my HPTA. I wasn't expecting these results

FSH 2.75 mUI/ml
LH 1.93 mUI/ml
Estradiol 21pg/ml

Total Testosterone 8.69 ng/ml
Free Testosterone 37.13 pg/ml

From my symptoms, I was thinking it was a case of low test coupled with general ageing, I declare myself ignorant to the hormonal profile results, but they are within the normal range. But my total and free testosterone is way higher than I told it would be

It has made me reconsider if AAS are my best option right now.
 
Total Test cannot be in ng/dl. Can you check and repost. Also, please include reference ranges as all labs are different. And was the estradiol test using the regular or sensitive assay?
 
It's in ng/ml, my guess is you just multiply it by 100 to get the ng/dl

References:
FSH 0.95-11.95
LH 1.14-8.75
Estradiol 11-44

Total testosterone 1.66-8.77
Free testosterone 4.5-42.0

I have no idea what method they used for the estradiol, it's not listed on their site and my printed results only have the method for free testosterone
 
I think you're making the right decision exploring other possible causes before possibly compromising what may be a very good natural hormone production. 30 is a pretty young to be seeing a big drop in testosterone.
