Hello guys.. A little about myself. I am 28 years old, 5'5'', 180 pounds. I have always been a heavy set person. I recently lost a lot of weight. I was at 240 at one point. Anyways on to my problem. I have been feeling really depressed, low energy, super sleepy all day, easily irritated, etc for a VERY long time, years in fact. But I never had problems with libido, or erections etc. If anything I have always been a horn dog. For years though I went to a lot of different doctors and had every test under the sun, except for a testosterone check. Finally a friend of mine told me, "hey I go to a testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) clinic and been taking testosterone injections and it has changed my life, you should check yours" I thought he was crazy because I was so young, never had problems with libido, and have always been super hairy (hes losing his hair at 28!). Anyways he finally convinced me and I went to get my levels checked.
My levels were as follows:
Estradiol 23.0 ph/ml
Prostate specific ag, serum: 0.5 ng/ml
testosterone 136 ng/dl,
hemoglobin 15.3 g/dl
LH 4.1 miu/ml
FSH 1.5 miu/ml
prolactin 8.5 ng/ml
so after a month of injections (test cyp), I felt a tiny bit better but nothing great at all!.. They retested my blood and it came back to:
Estradiol 31.0 ph/ml
testosterone 340 ng/dl
hemoglobin 15.5
For the first month I was on 100 dose injections now im at 140, its been almost two and a half months and I still dont see a drastic improvement. They put me on estrogen blockers, half of 1 Anastrozole 1mg pill, twice a week. So a total of 1mg a week. I am also on HCG injections into the belly now. But like I said, I still havent felt anything drastic. With all this stuff, shouldnt I be feeling good by now??? If anything im more sleepy now than ever. I also recently had a full MRI and I was told by the doc that I have tissue behind my breast so Im assuming ive been dealing with a hormone imbalance for a very long time. Can you guys please give feedback?? The testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) clinc so far seems like they know what they are doing but should I also see an Endo just to be safe?? Why would my testosterone levels be at 136 for a 28 yr old man??
Thanks
