sorry its my first post and asking for something but hope you all may be able to give me some guidance on trt as i have very basic help at home with my gp and am looking to self administer to hopefully help myself.
i have been reading and reading to try and educate myself to start but am very nervous in starting this without someone looking over it ( if u will ? )
i was going to do 150mg a week test cyp/enanth at 3.5 days and 250ui HCG.
I'm really unsure if i should use an aromotose aswell, i can get my bloods done quite easily aswell to monitor eastriadol, usually within 7 days i can get a result.
Im 41 years old, 6ft, 225lbs and about 20% body fat. my diet is good and i normally consume 3/3500 cals a day , my lifestyle is fairly active.
I'm pretty motivated with everything in life and do fairly well, however this consistent nagging feeling of not feeling quite right/in myself is holding me back big time.
i feel a bit anxious, low libido, emotional,stressed for no reason, fatigued,generally feel like crap tbh, energy levels are rubbish aswell which really doesn't help lol.
worked out for about 2 + years now doing mainly 3 day full body routines ( regularly changed some exercises aswell as adding some in)
I've not missed many days tbh and even work out whilst on holidays, first thing i do is find a gym lol.
i had a very expensive full panel done privately 2 months ago only to find out later that it only included total testosterone:
Results were: 9.9nmol 286 ng/dl ( drawn at 9am )
took this to my gp who said this was normal ??
but he reluctantly agreed to a new blood test 1 month ago which came back at 13.6 nmol ( drawn at 9.30 am ).
i then sought out a testosterone specialist 3 weeks ago to redo the figures i wanted and he used my last total test of 13.6nmol as the base line:
• Total Testosterone – normal - 13.6 nmol/L (normal range 8.4 – 28.7) taken 10/8/16
• Free Testosterone – normal - 0.242 nmol/L (normal range 0.21 – 0.70) = 1.78%
• Bioavailable Testosterone – normal - 5.67 nmol/L (range 3.5-12.0) = 41.8%
• Oestradiol (oestrogen) – normal - 103 pmol/L (range 0-150)
• Prolactin – normal - 215 mu/L (range 0 – 375)
• Sex Hormone Binding Globulin – normal - 41 nmol/L (range 17 – 66)
if you could be so kind to have a look through these and offer any suggestions it would be greatly appreciated.
i realise that you don't have to but would be very much appreciative of any help or guidance you could give to help me out of this hole
kind regards
