Hello everyone. I have been reading extensively around the forum and the internet to find out as much information as I can before I go see a specialist. I'm a 31 year old male. I had late onset puberty and was kickstarted with T when I was about 16 going to be 17. I was told by my doctors at the time that the therapy worked. I hit a growth spirt my voice deepened but I think I may have been too late starting the therapy and did not have a full puberty. My testicles are not as big as I think would be normally. I was told I may be infertile at the time but never had it tested.
I never felt very athletic when I was in high school or my early twenties. I started lifting weights and eating correctly around 22 but never was able to keep up with anyone in the gym. Around 24 I decided to take steroids. I did a 10 week Test e cycle of 300 a week. In that 10 week period I went from not shaving to having a full beard. It was almost like my puberty finally finished. I felt great off cycle for years until about 27. I think what may have made me feel great was the post cycle therapy may have kick started my natural T Production. I didn't have any testing done at the time because I was young and dumb and wanted to look a certain way. I don't really regret it as that is when I met my wife and the confidence that it gave me changed my life.
So around 27 I noticed despite eating correctly I was loosing wight on my lifts. I decided to do another cycle but this time I did do pre and post blood test and when I posted them on the roid forums people were amazed and said I had low T. I can't find the original tests now. I think I also had just a total and free test. Again I felt amazing with what would be considered a nothing cycle. I did more PCT of HCG and Clomid. I had another test a few months after cycle and my T count had almost trippled and I felt great until I ripped my shoulder around 28. I didn't work out for about year after that. I currently don't lift heavy but still work out.
I eat clean but anything over about 2100 calories a day I begin to get fat. I don't smoke or drink alcohol but do ingest not smoke marijuana. I have been told that is not good for people with low T lol. Over the last year or so I have started to feel my strength go down. I get moody and have had some fatigue. I have felt my testicles shrink and I have had problems getting a hard erection, getting off and have had a much smaller amount of semen. I have a great looking wife and should be horny for her ALL THE TIME and I ounce was. I don't even find myself looking at women in a sexual way. I went to my primary doctor and was told that I'm in generally good health. When I started talking about some of my other concerns he referred me to an endocrinologist because he admitted that this was not his area of expertise.
I have that appointment at the end of January. I'm thinking about getting full blood work before I show up because I don't want the delay in getting a script written if needed. Do you guys think I should use HCG in an attempt to kickstart it again? Is that just going to prolong the inevitable. I have always been concerned with taking T on a long term basis because heart disease runs in my family but after reading more this concern my be misdirected to steroid abuse. I'm the father of 3 young adopted children and want to be around to see them grow up and take care of my family. Thank you to whoever reads my long rant here.
