I am a 34-year-old male 6'1, 250 lbs, inspiring bodybuilder who has been suffering from fatigue, low libido, and most importantly overall issues to gain substantial muscle mass since I was 27. I was gonna go to a UGL to not have to deal with the awkwardness of asking a trained medical professional for help to achieve my goals.
BUT... After finally being convinced by my gym partner who is a competition bodybuilder, I went to Dr. Larry Lipshultz, a very well regarded and knowledgable urologist who has helped bodybuilders, to finally discuss being helped to help with my symptoms as well ask for TRT. The meeting went well, I was a little nervous and overall did not know what to expect from the consultation. He did say he would be able to help me, but however for a male of my age, my testosterone results would need to be below 400 before he can prescribe any TRT. We had discussed having me placed on test cypionate 100mg if everything works out with the bloodwork. My test yielded results of 404 ng/dl. This is highly annoying. Has anyone been able to get a physician to prescribe TRT with this number?
What was surprising to me and what I do not understand why my estradiol is would be so high, and why my hematocrit is high. My goal is to be placed on TRT. This is my intention. I have goals with my body that I want to accomplish. I do not want to use a UGL. I did use that 2 years ago, my first and only test cycle for bodybuilding, and coming off was an awful experience even with the right PCT protocol. I would rather have a medical trained M.D who understands bodybuilding and would provide a recommended dosage of testosterone than having to do a standard cookie-cutter bodybuilding UGL dosage /cycle. Any help and discussion would be greatly appreciated.
