Opinions and Advice Plz

Hi everyone,

I'm thankful I found this forum and for any advice...

After seeing an endo for low mood, low libido, and mediocre wood, the doctor ran tests and came back with the following lab results...

Testosterone (RIA) 1.8
Somatomedin-C (IGF-1) 295.0
HGH (S) 0.08
LH 1.35
AST (SGOT) 17
ALT (SGPT) 19

He then indicated that I have very low testosterone (but that my HGH) was "fine" and gave me a choice of

(a) a 3 month shot of Nebido (testosterone undecanoate) or
(b) a shot of testosterone enanthate 250 mg every 2-3 weeks.

I opted for (b) as it's much cheaper, at least initially, and can give me time to get my head around this situation...before proceeding...

Anyways, can I get opinion on what others think I should do?

[I'd like to be able to pick my doctors brain a bit more but I'm located in Asia and there's a language barrier].

For what it's worth, I'm 37 year's old, 74kg, reasonably trim and muscled, have a full beard, and was/am pretty shocked at the results.

Thanks in advance for anything offered!

See if you can convince your doc to go with 125mg/wk. 250mg every 2/3 weeks will have you on quite the hormonal roller coaster.

Hi Poly,

Thanks for your advice...

Do you think this 250mg a week, even divided at 125mg weekly, will be enough to get me back on track?

And any advice on taking medicine to avoid side effects (growing breasts). losing hair, etc.

[I was on Finasteride before, but it affected my wood, so I discontinued it...]

Thanks again!

PS, Any idea how quickly I might feel effects? It's been 5 days since my first shot...
