[QUOTE="DS3, post: 174859, member: 18514"] [USER=40391]@kevmtao[/USER] Glad you reached out to the good people on Excel Male. As a man who started Testosterone, among other anabolics, at age 18, I will give you my advice (which you can take or leave). (1) Becoming dependent on exogenous hormones at 19 is not an optimal solution. Many men on TRT are never able to 'dial it in' meaning they never find the protocol that makes them feel optimal. TRT, in most men, leads to the inclusion of ancillary drugs to help mitigate side effects. These drugs all possess a host of side effects themselves. It has taken me nearly a decade of TRT to finally find a dosage and dosing protocol that works for me. (2) Your healthy LH levels coupled with low Total T and Free T is an indication of primary hypogonadism, which is certainly something that you should see a specialist for. I am not saying that you are primary, but you should certainly see an expert. (3) TRT will lead to infertility, which is something to think about. Yes there are medications like Clomid and HCG that can aid in fertility while on TRT, but those medications work best for males with secondary hypogonadism. All in all, I would seek help from a medical expert on this. Most every male on this forum is here because we are still seeking 'optimization' in our TRT/HRT protocols...meaning that most of us are still unhappy with how we feel and are searching for protocols and combinations that will make us feel better.
