Finally Got Tested

[coalcracker]

I'm 29 and finally decided to get some tests since I’ve been having symptoms of low test for a few years figured it would go away but never did (no libido, no energy, trouble gaining muscle). I did a lot of prohormone cycles in my early 20’s with shitty to non-existent post cycle therapy (pct), (Tren, 1-AD, 4-AD, 1-Test, M-1T..yeah I know stupid, but it happens). I thought maybe this shut me down but looking at my free test from what I understand the boys are producing. So here are my results let me know what you guys think and if there’s any chance I can get on testosterone replacement therapy (TRT)? Don’t want to feel like shit anymore. Planning and seeing a GP doctor this week to ask what he can do. I live in So Cal so I think I have some options.

Test Taken at 9:30 a.m. after fasting 14 hrs and 2 days off from lifting:


Test Serum: 379ng/dl REF 280-800
Free Test: 12.8 pg/ml REF 9.3-26.5
Estradiol: 22.8pg/ml REF 7.6-42.6
IGF-1: 347ng/ml REF 117-329
PSA: .8 ng/ml REF 0.0-4.0

If there’s any other numbers you might need let me know and I’ll check if I got them since I had a bunch of other tests for thyroid and stuff. I can’t cut and past them so I takes a little to type them in. Any help would be appreciated.

Your numbers are low, an anti aging doctor would probably put you on androgel or something, but a normal doctor would not. I would say it is worth re-testing a couple of times to really see where your test levels are on average.

Your estrogen is perfect, and that seems to be the chemical imbalance that kills your dick and libido.

Are you drinking alchohol? smoking pot? having any stomach problems or a lot of gas?

What is your blood pressure and fasting blood glucose at?

Also, what is your bodyweight and how tall are you?

I never thought I would do testosterone replacement therapy (TRT), but then my dick stopped working, had high blood pressure, and diabetes.

I would have rather stayed natural, but here I am, enjoying and looking forward to self injections...

I'm 5'10" I am in the middle of a slow cut right now so I am sitting at 174 at abou 13-14% BF.

I drink maybe once a month if that. Don't smoke pot or cigarettes. My diet is dialed, I eat 40/40/20 clean and track it on fitday.

Blood Pressure is ussual at the high end of normal. No diabetes.

Dick works fine. I think the libido issue is more to do with energy. I just dont feel like doing shit ever.

I've been lifting for 11 years so I know if I am overtraining or not and that is not the case.

I'm just thinking that having a clean diet and a active lifestyle I should have a higher Test number and at least feel energized. We'll see what happens.

Thanks for the response.

I saw a general practice Dr. yesterday and he basically said my levels are normal, just like I figured he would.

I tried to tell him they're normal for an old man, and my symtoms but he didnt wanna hear it. He said sounds like it could depreesion and he could give me a antidepressent.

Just e-mailed my test results to Chip to see if he can help. Wish a broski luck!!Thanks for the advice.

have faith in Chip he will work through the issues with you. This is what I find so great. He does not really tell you what to do, he has a discussion with you.
He uses your experiences and his expertise to come to a "team plan" instead of some dr. just saying "you are depressed" or "that seems within normal"

he listens

Isn't that wonderful?! Doctors won't even consider HRT. But in lieu of prescribing/administering a relatively benign course of testosterone, lets put you on a slew of medications that are heavily psychoactive.

I/we really should start a post detailing the dumbest things we have all personally heard uttered by an MD. Perhaps later, when I'm feeling less lazy.

Thanks for the input guys. Got with Chip and just did my first test shot. Was sweating like a motherfucker before i did it but then it was nothing.

Gonna try to get a baseline of how much i need to stay at around 900 and then go from there. again thanks for all the help.
