Recently I switched to Androgel 1.62% two pumps a day - my T is down to 12.5 nmol/l. What the???

Morning wood is stronger and more often. Amount of ejaculate hasn't changed I think

Yes I believe so, I noticed cognitive improvements in few days and things got better and better from there. Now I have strong and lasting erections and actually real enthusiasm for sex. I checked DHEA only once and no check made for cortisol. I tried dieting, upping calories but nothing helped...

I started injecting 500IU EOD 2.5 weeks prior the visit thinking my sperm count will be over the roof. The HCG was a month past an expiration date maybe that was the case? Or should I increase the dosage and wait longer before next visit? I will definitely discuss my options with the doc but...

I was at spermbank today to save something for later. Huge disappoinment. They found 7 sperms from which 6 were dead. So Androgel reliably killed my boys. Pre treatment my sperm count was 40 million! What can I do? I honestly feel amazing being on TRT. What can I do to restore fertility so I...

Yes I am going to visit the doctor again in 4 weeks so I will do another bloodwork before. How do I feel? Amazing to be honest! My mood and overal psychologic well-being has significantly improved! Libido has also improved a lot and I have strong, lasting erections. My expectations have been...

Blood work after ~3 weeks using 5g Androgel 1%. Testosterone - 38.15 nmol/l SHBG - 26.8 nmol/l LH - 0.40 IU/l FSH - 1.17 IU/l Estradiol - 108.2 pmol/l What the hell? I swear I am not spreading it over bread.

So it has already been 5th day I am rubbing the gel on myself . What I noticed is I am less prone to be stressed and anxious and thinking is somewhat more clear. Placebo or extra test? No idea. I will be checking tst next week to see what's the absorption rate for me

That is exactly what the doc thinks. He said SSRI usually tend to increase prolactin but he did not seem to be concerned about SSRI's having an impact on my T levels. To be honest I initially though the I will be leaving the clinic with advice to stop taking SSRI so that's why I was surprised...

Yeah I will definitely keep you posted, today was the first day I used Androgel. I will be happy if things get improved by upping my T. It however still won't answer the question whether the same effect could be achieved by getting off Sertraline. I am in serious doubt what to do...because...

AAS stands for Anabolic-androgenic steroids. Yeah I see you were on the damn SSRI too. The biggest problem is question is my low-T causing the problems and that's why I am taking SSRI or is SSRI causing low T and problems?

Hi all, here is my update. I was at the andro clinic yesterday. Doc said my T levels are low for any guy, the fact that I am only 24 only make it look worse. He also commented on my LH/FSH levels being higher than he observes in guys around my age with normal ranges of testosterone which...

Fresh results D.H.E.A. SULPHATE * 4.570 umol/L 5.73 - 13.40 FOLLICLE STIM. HORMONE 5.52 IU/L 1.50 - 12.40 LUTEINISING HORMONE 3.84 IU/L 1.70 - 8.60 TESTOSTERONE 11.7 nmol/L 8.64 - 29.00...

Well I will definitely consult the fact with the doctor.

Thanks for finding the study. This is the only study I was able to find on SSRI's effect on testosterone. Generally the most of discussions and studies point to SSRI's effects on libido and overal sexual function, not testosterone levels. One of the reasons why I want to try going off...

Hi @Royal244 and thanks for reply!. That's what I think and almost every serious board/medical article on web unfortunately. All 3 tests were made in independent labs across 2 countries :) I will be doing next test soon within a week because I am going to andrological clinic where doctor at...

No problem @BenM I jumped the same conclusion when I first found out about my low testosterone. During the first bloodwork I indeed was in caloric deficit and the first thing I did I upped my calories gradually into ~3000 kCal levels. I though this will be the problem because I have read couple...

The last bloods were made while in caloric surplus for 2 months...

I have been on Sertraline, my steady dosage is 100mg, however I consider tapering down since I feel my condition would be better managed psychologically rather than with medication. I ran approximately 5-6 light to moderate cycles between age of 18 - 21 while I was competing. I am turning 25...

I visited urologist few weeks ago. My semen is in excellent condition, doctor said I could be a donor - 40 million/ml, normal pathology. He also checked my testicles - ultrasound, again great condition, no signs of dysfunction or anything to be concerned about He ordered blood work: S-SHBG ...

Hi all, I am 24 years old. I do bodybuilding and did general health check few months ago at sports doc but they did not do any hormone checks therefore I decided I will do those separately now. What stroked my attention was the level of testosterone. I would NEVER tell I could be testosterone...
