Blood Test/Low Test Levels

**Mr.Akeym** · 10-04-2007, 05:20 PM

Hi, I could use some insight here fellas. Here is some history. One previous testosterone cycle when I was 19 I am now 27. I got some blood work done as advised for a precycle. My Testosterone levels came back @ 330. The doc said this is not good and that I am in bad shape. I feel really fatiqued lack of sex drive etc. Well, he opted to give me a testosterone injection of 200 mgs in the clinic.

I guess what I am asking is will this help bring me up to the normal range? And how long will the effect last? Do you think he will write me a script or give another injection? Or just test me again and leave me as is if my levels come back? Isnt the injection just temporary? I mean something must be wrong if they are low...right? The first thing he asked me was if I have ever used anabolic steriods before in my past. I said yes. He said I have testiscular failure does anyone know anything about that? He also said I might have shut down my natural production of testosterone. Would I need testosterone thearapy for life....worse case scenerio? Thanks for all the comments

It's possible that you will need TRT. I recently went on it myself. Check the threads in the TRT sub-forum.

Did you do PCT on your previous cycle? Its possible your shut down but I wouldnt say its definite or even likely, after only one cycle...

**Mr.Akeym** · 10-07-2007, 02:22 PM

You know what. I was so inexperienced I didnt do any pct at all. Could this of been the reason? But it was like 8 yrs ago when I did the cycle.

You can answer this question yourself bro...Think about it...After your cycle, you had a normal sex drive from 19 to 27 correct? Unless you werent able to have sex or had a seriously diminished sex drive from that age on then you are ok. Most studies and evidence show that HPTA function will recover from supression no matter what type or how long AAS is run for. There is no evidence to suggest that exogenous hormones can cause perminant HPTA function suppression. It is highly unlikely that your one cycle over 7 years ago is the cause of your problems today. If I was the doctor I would be running more blood tests and possibly ordering an MRI of your pituitary...

well, my last cycle was over 3yrs ago, and my HPTA didnt seem to recover

hell, even my script of 100mg/wk.... im only at 412ng... im guessing im in the small percentile that metabolizes the meds quick!~!

phats

I went back today and seen my doctor in which he administered another injection of 2 cc's of cypionate . He thinks it might kick start my natural production. He will blood test me again to see if it has helped, he also mentioned he might just write me a script. Thanks for the info GodFather. To answer your question my sex drive has been fine, so your right on that.

I got an injection 3 days ago, she used a 29 gauge needle and hit me really high in the lower back. The medical assistant that is. Problem is I have a knot in under the skin and extreme pain in my lower back. Wtf? What should I say next visit. Give me it I'll do it myself? I think thats kind of a thin gauge and she just pushed it in so fast. I think I have an abcess. Malpractice?

**Chuck_R** · 10-28-2007, 04:25 PM

I'd contact doc and honestly address your concerns...he might not have told her how to inject bc he assumed she knew how and she didn't.

**Discoshit** · 11-10-2007, 08:47 PM

Your doc should have checked your LH and FSH to see if the problem is from the pituatary or the testicules. (before giving you injections)
