Ill start off saying that I am 25 years old and about a year ago I started feeling really tired, lazy, lack of energy in the gym. I would have to force my self to go to the gym and try to stay for atleast 30 mins. Few time I left after about 10mins just because I felt so weak. Deceided to get my blood tested and the Testosterone results came back at 350-360. Dr. told me this was within range and everything else looked good so after doing some research I figured my test should be way above 350-360. I think the range was 300-1100 according to the blood test. So I found another dr. who was wiling to put me on the gel which I didnt like and it didnt help either. After a month of that I was put on 200mg of test cyp. Dr made me feel like I was lying to him the whole time and just gave me the script just because and made me feel like I was wasting his time. So around the 4-5 week on 200mg a week I started feeling better in the gym, more energy, and sex was where it use to be. I couldnt stop touching my wife and stayed this way the all day which I like. Before the shots I couldnt even think about sex and was to tired when my wife was ready. So my blood test come back after the 5 week on 200 a week and test levels were 550 (7 days from last shot) I asked if they were testing estrogen levels and they said yes well come to find out they didnt and they told me to see a endo bc one of my gland levels were really low. Think it was the LH and FSH. So went see the endo and he had me to redo the blood work and this are the results.
LH .01L range(1.7-1.9)
FSH <0.2 range(1.5-1.7)
Test 1080 range(348-1197) 3 days after my shot
Free test 35.8 range(9.3-26.5)
Cortisol 16.8 range(2.3-19.4)
Prolactin 12.0 range(4.0-15.2)
Estradiol 49.8 range(7.6-42.6)
IGF-1 272 range(83-344)
So obv my LH, FSH, and estrogen is out of range. He told me my estrogen level is ok because I am on the testosterone. Which threw up a red flag for me because Ive read it should be around 20. HE wants me to get off the shots for 4 weeks and get blood done again to see if its the shots causing these low LH, FSH or if I really do have a problem. He also said 350 my orginal level was ok and normal but I told him how I was feeling and dont see how the very bottom of the range can be normal for some one my age.
9 weeks on 200mg a week and these are some of things I noticed.
-gained atleast 20-25 pounds(sure most is water bc of estrogen level)
- got a little stronger in gym
-week 4-5 libido was awesome, now its pretty much not their again
-feel an increase in energry
-sleep is way better than ever
-wake up middle of the night with pillow wet from sweat
- seems like its harder for me to "finish" while having sex
whats your thoughts on this and Im thinking I should also be on HCG, and an AI?
