[QUOTE="mrk, post: 17721, member: 5072"] Whats up fellow TRT users!! Age: 33 Sex: Male Height: 6'1" Weight: 225 I have been trying to eat clean and healthy, but I am an addict for sugar and carbs. I have recently got back into the gym after a 3 year layoff. Over the last few years I have had no energy, motivation, and have been in bad moods. A couple of months ago I went to the Dr to see what my problems with energy, motivation, and mood were. The doc asked me a few questions and said I fell into the category of mild depression. I asked to have my testosterone checked before thinking about taking an anti-D. My initial lab work came back as: TT - 327 (332-896) LH Luteinizing Hormone (CML) - 4.2 (.8-7.6) FSH Follicle Stimulating Hormone - 5.3 (.7-11.1) Doc said I had Secondary Hypogonadism based off these results. I was not asked to fast before the bloodwork (I only had a small glass of OJ), but was told by the lab that it wouldnt effect anything. A week later, had bloodwork taken again. To double check I guess. TT - 281 (332-896) LH - 6.2 (.8-7.6) FSH - 5.5 (.7-11.1) The doc gave me a injection of Test-C 200mg in the glute and said I will have to get a 200mg injection every month. After 3 months my testosterone should rebound and I might not need TRT anymore. (side note: I have never had any erection problems and wake up every morning with morning wood since probably 13 years old) I explained the half life of Test-C to the doc, but wasnt believed and was told one monthly injection would work fine. So after two weeks I went back and had the doc order bloodwork to prove the half life. Results: TT - 166 (332-896) --HOLY HELL!! Prolactin - 7.9 (1.6-18.8) Transferrin - 190 (214-365) --Low but doc didnt see it as a problem, so im confused with this Cortisol - 17.5 (4.3-22.4) Iron(FE) - 57 (50-170) --On the low side, but no info More bloodwork taken for: Hemoglobin - 16 Hemacrit - 42% So after confirming the half life and being surprised myself on how low I dropped. The doc has put me on 100mg Test-C a week with self injections. I have since found a new doc with more experience with TRT and is open to HCG and an anti estrogen if needed. [/QUOTE]
