LowT - blood results- need help with interpretation and game plan

[downunder]

43 y.o male - 104kg ~2301bs 5`11" 181cn- im guessing 25% body fat.
Did cycle 18 months ago basic testosterone with simple pct afterwards
Wont try it again.
my precycle total test was ~11nmol/L from memory , low end of normal. ref range 8.3-29nmol/L

I have just received blood tests and thought I was travelling ok - good libido , decent energy , decent wood , however my results are crap.
My total test is 6.9nmol/L - way below normal
SHBG is 26 re range (11-71)
free test is 147 ref range (225-725)
FSH 9 IU/l ref <7- so high
LH 5.1IU/L ref <7 so ok
E2 141 ref <150 so ok??

Any thoughts on these results - is it because im a fat bastard?? is it the cycle from nearly 2 yrs ago?

I had exrecised hard the night before - would this cause such a drastic change ??

my first priority would be to get body fat down and diet like a mofo- ive been reading all day and have read testshock programme -natural remdies to increase testosterone .

any input greatly appreciated.

I'll start with, "I'm not a Dr. I just pretend to be one to get laid"....

But you numbers tell me: the Lh and fsh is your body telling your nuts to get off their collective asses and make some g.d. testosterone!
Your T value says your nuts have responded with, "piss off you wanker! We are done"

There may be a way to kick start your nuts again, (and I'm not up on that at all) but I'd say it's about time to look into TRT. Would not think that a blast that long ago would still be effecting you now.

Then again, I'm just trying to get laid ;-)

I'm 10yrs older than you, but when I first discovered this problem my Dr. Said, "exercise, lose weight, take vitamin D and my test would increase" I did all those things and it WENT DOWN! My nuts are done. Now it's the needle for me.

Well I really want to avoid trt if possible.

I don't feel that different to when i was blasting.

The pct phase was terrible.

I don't know anyone who WANTS to be on TRT, but some times its better than no test at all.

Hopefully someone will pop in with restart advice.

I want to be on trt....given that the individual is on top of their health game. Shit to be able to feel 21 again and maintain muscle. Getting old has its downfalls and test is going to drop reguardless. I don't know maybe it's just me and my competitiveness. I read some article a month ago and it said any guy in there mid 40's who does not look like a chump is on trt and actually listed a few names. Joe Rogan, Stallone, Arnold and the list goes on.

Some say your a prisoner to the needle but it's not different to me then wiping your ass after you shit. I guess everybody is different
