New to HRT

[TJunior]

I am 25 years old, white male, 5 10', 170 lbs average build, bf guess 15-18%?. I have had symptoms of low testosterone for quite some time (I know i'm young). I had no energy, low libido etc. I thought long and hard before I decided to make a appointment with a HRT doctor. I have never done any kind of steroids what so ever and I am new to the whole thing. I thought about purposely lowering my test before I went, but i didn't. I want to have energy again and build some muscle. I have a pretty good diet, take supplements, in the gym 6x a week. So i went and these are my results:

Free T4 : 1.1 ng/dl RANGE .6-1.6
Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA): .43 ng/ml Range 0-4.0
B12: 1305 pg/ml Range :180-914
Testosterone Level: 451 ng/dl Range 168-746
TSH Ultra (3rd gen): 4.956 mcIntUnit/ml Range .340-5.6
Free T3: 3.1 Range 2.4-6.8
GFR Non African American: 67 Range >=60
Estrogen: 190 pg/ml Saids Adult make should be less than 200 pg/ml
DHEA Sulfate Lvl 323.80 mcg/dl Range 5.0 - 700.0
Free Testosterone: .93 ng/dl Range .95-4.30
Cortisol 12.30 mcg.dl
E2: <20 pg/ml

There is more stuff on the labs paper i didn't mention if you guys need them let me know.
He prescribed:
Testosterone CYP: 150mg (.75ml) every 6 days
Letrozole: 1mg every other day
Finasteride CMPD: 1.25mg every day
Thyroid: 95mg every day

I am looking for opinions from more experienced people (like i said I am new and have done any kind of steroids) He said it could be messed up from binge drinking and my thyroid. I would be lying if I said I wasn't also looking for gains in the gym. Any knowledge would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

And let me mention that I am scared to death of getting gyno, I am hoping the letrozole will prevent that?

looks like your problem is more like thyroid, high e2, and I bet your SHBG is high and that's why your free T is low. post everything with ranges so we can see the whole picture. you're way too young to jump into TRT, if I were you I'd wait to see what causing your symptoms and go from there.

Hope this helps

This.

How much do you workout? What supplements do you take?

A testosterone level of 451 ng/dl does not constitute TRT, in my opinion. At 25 years old, I can't believe your doctor prescribed you a TRT regiment. And then he added 1 mg of Letrozole to lower your outrageous E2? Where's prolactin? DHEA? DHT?

I think you should try to find the root of the problem, fix what outliers you have (E2, thyroid, etc.) before resorting to TRT and hoping for a "fix all" approach.

What thyroid is prescribed in 95 *mg*?

unfortunately its not a complete male hormone BW, we need SHBG, E2 sensitive assay, LH, FSH. from what I can see you have more problems with your thyroid, also low on vitamin D and DHEA. supplementing with these can improve a bit.
