Age 23, low testosterone, need advice.
Hello! Firstly, thank you for your time. I've always been depressed. Had bitch tits since puberty. I'm always tired and have trouble concentrating. My hard-ons are weak and libido is meh. I wake up in the morning tired as hell and I have no motivation. I've had my testosterone checked 3 times in the past couple months. Here's the results:
TSH: 2.580 uIU/mL (0.400-4.000)
Testosterone Total (Collected on 8/23/2010, 9:35am): 395 ng/dL (270-1730)
Testosterone Total (Collected on 3/4/2011, 8:10am): 505 ng/dL (241-827)
Testosterone Total (Lost the paperwork! doh): 252 ng/dL (241-827)
-Free/Bioavail. Testosterone: 4.1 (units??) the low end was 11 I think. So I was WAY below normal. My test was done two hours after my strength training workout. So around 1:30pm.
I'm highly considering TRT. I feel so bad all the time, it's exhausting. Also, I have a "small" varicocele above my left testicle. It tends to shrink and grow a lot. Like at night it'll get really small and other times it's a bit bigger. Either way it's a lot smaller than my right testicle.
Here's what i'm doing right now(and what I did when I had test levels around 505):
Eating high fat diet(35% macro) of sat & poly fats. 2:1 ratio carbs:protein.
MAX-OT weight lifting (4-6 reps, no overtraining).
Jump roping and running for cardio.
No alcohol(once a month, 1 beer)
9 Hours sleep per night.
Supplementing with Zinc, Vit-B complex, Vit-C, Performance Multi-vitamin, Fish oil.
Basically, my levels are stuck at low. What should I do? I have no health insurance right now. I just signed up and that takes 2 months to become active. I'm looking for solid advice. Thanks & I appreciate you time!
