Aussie member a bit worried

[Mrcivil]

Ok so i will start by briefly introducing myself i am 30 180cm 118kg at 17% bf. Now for the last couple of years i have noticed a dramatic drop in libido and didn't think much of it but it was at a point that my wife was getting shitty with me i really had absolutely no interest in sex i felt really shit i had a lot of other symptoms that i now know to be signs of low t, tired, grumpy, weight gain and the list goes on. Now i was very ignorant to this i didnt know about low t levels or anything. i used to be very active with weights and martial arts but after a injury i had to stop for awhile and it just sort of snowballed. anyway i got back into the gym and started training i had a few mates who had cycled i had played with pro hormones but never gear anyway one thing led to another and i did a cycle and felt amazing i actually wanted sex i felt good again about myself for the first time in years. completed my cycle did my pct and boom right back to how i was before i have no interest in sex seriously i would rather stick my dick in a rabbit trap i feel no energy again i lost a lot of strength and added fat that i had lost despite following proper pct protocols i mean i ate clean as i had my amount of calories per day i still train i didn't stop its just as if my body is not producing enough test to sustain the muscle. i would have had no idea about low test if i hadn't done a cycle and now that i am looking at the symptoms the more it looks like it has been a part of my life for a couple years. i live in melbourne australia and i am not sure where to begin with the process of trying to find out whats wrong i am going to go to my dr next week and get bloods done but i don't know what to ask for and i keep thinking the doctor is going to look at me and go piss off your 30 not 50 come see me in a couple years. i really just want to feel normal again because as it is now i do not enjoy life at all any aussie members out there on trt please help me out

Sounds like you know what you need to do. Be persistent, you'll find a doctor who will work with you. By the way, I personally wouldn't mention to the doctor that you had cycled before.

[Mrcivil]

Yeah I wasn't going to mention that I was just going to discuss my symptoms I figure if I mentioned that they would think I'm just fishing for aas and tell me to go away. I am hoping I can find a good doctor

MrC check out the suggested blood work in the Finding A Doc Sticky. Good BW is without question your starting place.

[Mrcivil]

Thanks kel I am glad I checked that out I wasn't sure what I needed to ask specifically for on my bloodwork I thought if I asked for a hormone level test I'd be sweet

Your welcome. You gotta dig a bit deeper than that for an honest assessment. Post results here when you get things done.
