[QUOTE="BSS91, post: 278837, member: 46403"] Hi, Thanks for your message. I tested my LH, FSH, estradiol and thyroid (T3, T4, etc) and all markers are in range. My LH and FSH are in the low range and that is why I tried two cycles of enclomiphene without success. No symptom relief and I even became a bit more emotional. I am conscious that T levels increasing do not equally mean to remove depression and anxiety. However, since I can`t workout as before, and workouts use to give me a bit of relief in that sense, I hope it will help me go back in my journey. I am full of slight issues in my joints, nagging injuries whereas I see others training more and having twice or triple the results that I managed to have. Never started training for physical results, more for the mental side with the feel good endorphins after the sessions, but when you do a 4 times per week training schedule (I vary things, in frequency and types of training) for years and still no physical change, you start asking yourself questions, especially when my diet is always worked on. I tried tweaking everything, last year for example I did a sleep study and have a cpap machine for a year now with very slight improvement. For the depression since a young age, thinking about it now made me realise that I always had a mild but very manageable depression. I was still able to have friends, have great moments, etc etc So this is what I am left with: Depression and anxiety got worse with age, joint worse, while at the same time despite the fact that I started a health optimization journey in the past five years with not only NO IMPROVEMENTS, but I am even worse now, with injuries and a fragile mental state. It is honestly nerve wracking. It is not like I can say ``maybe I over trained``. Like, I am passionate about this, so I always research and try to optimize. Did my own programs with weight training, cardio, tried kickboxing, di the 3 times per week, the 4 times, the 5 times per week, etc etc etc I always thought ``okay maybe I should change this, maybe I should tweak that, etc`` TRT is absolutely not a first choice in mind, at this point I don`t know what to do else.
