Greetings first time posting.
Great forum, any input appreciated.
45 year old healthy male, 4 kids
training since 12 years old, intermittent use of testosterone for training since age 35 - no more than 500mgs x 8-12 weeks 4 times over 8 years.
Recently off Testosterone as of June 2018 and but have been using Nolvadex 10-20 mgs x 3 days per week since June.
Want to start TRT
First bloodwork assessed prior to TRT eval/MD Sept 12-18
Testosterone, am 38.5 (normal range 10.3-29.5 nmol/L)
Free Testosterone 286.6 (normal 175-700 pmol/L)
SHBG 130 (normal 6-65 nmol/L)
Testosterone/SHBG = .30 (.20-1.00)
have not informed my MD of intermittent testosterone use, but wants a scan of my adrenals for a tumor, and I know this is not the case.
Question is - the nolvadex having is reducing E2, LH kinks in, has to pump more testosterone out to convert to E2 via aromatase.
I would like to start TRT - will I be declined with these labs?
Cheers
