Hello All. This is my first post and I apologize if I am touching on an overly-discussed question. I have been on this forum for hours and hours over the past few weeks and just joined today in order to post a question. I just turned 35 in December. I weight train 4 times per week. I am 6'0" tall and 215 lbs. Had been having issues with low libido and maintaining erections in the past few months. Quite embarrassing for me and I know that it was making my wife feel horrible. Also my sleep has been horrible for several months, and my mood is all over the place. I want to fall asleep all of the time. I did do a cycle of Andro in the summer and I guess this may have started the issue. I honesty never noticed any positive effects from using it, and the timing of this other stuff seemed to coincide with the cycle. Anyway, Here is my blood work and ranges. I hope it is enough to get a little more insight on my next steps.
DHEA--299 ug/dl Range 89-427 for 35-44 years
Estradiol--16.7 pg/ml Range <12-42.6
SHBG--32 nmol/L Range 10-80
Testosterone--331 ng/dL Range 280-800
Free Test--7.35 ng/dL Range 4.7-24.4
PSA--.6 Reference Interval 0.1-3.9
I had another test done for LH, FSH, TSH and a few other things. That was a separate test that my doctor failed to give me a copy of but is mailing and I should have it today.
Anyway, when I went to discuss the results with my doctor I took a few charts showing Test levels in case it did show that I was low. When it did and I brought it up he said he will not do anything for me since it is in the normal range.
I did come across several articles and forum threads talking about using Clomid and Nolva for boosting testosterone production. I ordered both from ar-r this week. I read Dr. Scally's protocol and so many threads regarding proper dosing, and I know it is different for everyone.
So anyway, to make a long story short... Does anyone think that a cycle of andro could slow/shut me down to the level that I am at? I would like to ultimately figure out why my test is so low if I can. Also, does anyone who has maybe had similar levels and situation found a good dosage that worked for them. I have some low dosing in mind, but any insight is much appreciated. Thanks in advance for any help, and again sorry if this is too much of a Deja Vu post.
