heyo! currently 26, weight 154, 6'3''
Im new to this forum and it seems to be the right place to be. so i had my consultation with defy and it went well. I have a pituitary tumor but endocrinologist are clueless on what to do next. defy dr offered trt right away but i decided hcg mono first. i havent tried ANY natural ways to fix. but i was always training with good diet (actually i had an eating disorder) and started to feel meh.
my labs were
(6 hours of sleep before bloodwork and interrupted twice due to frequent urination. its one of my symptoms im guessing low e2)
TSH 1.496 0.55 - 4.78 U/ml
PSA, TOTAL 0.211 0.00 - 4.0 ng/ml
ENDOCRINE EVALUATION
LH <1.9 L 1.5 - 9.3 mIU/ml
ESTRADIOL (E2) 14.0 < 40 pg/mL
DHEA-SULFATE 167.3 34.5 - 568.9 ug/dl
TESTOSTERONE, TOTAL 306 280 - 1100 ng/dl
SEX HORMONE BIND GLOBULIN 48 14.55 - 94.64 nmol/L
TESTOSTERONE, FREE 4.65 1.9 - 27 ng/dl
IGF-1 110 L 150 - 222 ng/mL
FSH 2.2
Plan of action:
HCG monotherapy (injecting 350 daily, 2450 weekly)
dhea 25 mg daily
ibatumoren 12.5 daily (a bit concerned about this one since i have a tumor. dr prescribed me this for gh/igf1 stim. will monitor microadenoma for possible secreting gh adenoma. this one was also weird since my igf1 is low. i forgot to ask him)
retest 2 months to see whats going on.
no clomid due to possible tumor growth while on it and also because of my shbg.
if this protocol does not work then i will move to trt. dr said it would be 62.5 twice weekly with 500 hcg 3 days a week.
what do you guys think?
