Thanks for the welcome this is an outstanding group of people whom I've learned so much from the last four months. I've finally registered.
I'm a 36 year old male from the Chicago burbs, married just over a year and wife is ten weeks pregnant with our first.

I started feeling the decline about three years ago but the last year has just been a free fall. All the typical symptoms, no energy, always tired, low libido, no interest in anything, zero gains in gym which felt like a constant uphill battle.

I finally went to a MD in Chicago and had my initial labs done May 10th. I went back May 31st for follow up. Sure enough my total testosterone was 331 and estradiol 19. He agreed to treat me with 75mg T cyp E4D. Had my first injection Tuesday. I have a follow up in four weeks. Im hoping everything goes well and I am very excited to start this new journey to better health and learning so much from the experience and advice from all you guys here. Thanks, David
 
Hello Vince, that is who I am seeing. I was spying around here for about four months before registering and seen that recommendation from Nelson. He is great! I am really happy with him and I am looking forward to working together with him.

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
