Hi Guys,
Just received my labs and was just wanting to get your opinions on them and what you think about procedure that I've been asked to start.
Little background on myself.
39 years old
6'2" 200 lbs.
I'm a avid cyclist so I would say overall I'm fairly healthy.
Reason for the labs were to see why I'm constantly feeling tired and fatigued and have low libido.
Lab Results
Testosterone Total 599 250-1100 ng/dl
Testosterone Free 51.2 46.0-224.0 pg/ml
Testosterone Bioavailable 103.0 110.0-575.0 ng/dl
TSH 0.80 0.40-4.50 miu/l
T4, Free 1.2 0.8-1.8 ng/dl
T3,Total 109 76-181 ng/dl
DHEA, LC/MS/MS 250 61-1636 ng/dl
Vit. D 22 30-100 ng/ml
Estradiol 23 < or = 39 pg/ml
SHBG 103.0 110.0-575.0 ng/dl
The doctor said that he was happy with my total t but was alarmed that my free t was as low as it is. His quick explanation was that I'm producing plenty of testosterone but not using it at this point. He said not to put as much focus on the total t as I should be more focused on free t levels. He suggested at starting me off on 150 test cyp at 1xweek and taking 1mg of anastrolzol with hcg 1xweek as well.
His goal is to atleast triple my free t and try to take my total t up to the 1100 range. Said that I should feel significantly better in multiple ways in 90 days give or take. Wants to rerun labs at 5wks,10,wks and try to dial it in. Plus I have been battling the low vit D for over a year now. The 22 above is me taking 50,000 1xweek. So I'm going to try 10,000 1xday to see if it helps bring it up.
So what do you guys think? Does this sound correct or is he just happy to put me on TRT?
Thanks in advance! Meanwhile ill be doing some research on this as well.
