Hello,

This is my first post, thanks for having me here.

I'm excited and scared at the same time. I wanted an advice on my situation, to understand it better.

I'm starting Nebido next week, I'm just wondering if I'm doing the right thing. I'm kinda scared actually. My Endo made me do a MRI and a few exams, and now we're ready to start.

Could you help me understand my situation?

I'm 29 years old, 6' tall, 33% body fat. No history of steroid use .
Lifted weights on and off for three years.

1) December 2017:

• Testosterone : 3.19 ng/mL (range: 2.7 - 10)

• Free Testosterone: 61 pg/mL (range: 75 - 124)

• Estradiol: 16 pg/mL (range: 11-45)

• FSH: 1.9 mUI/mL (range: 1.5 - 13)

3) MRI contrast medium (translated, sorry if I made a few errors):

"Small pituary gland. The signal and the impregnation of the adenohypophysis are homogeneous. Sparsely visible the bright spot of the neurohypophysis (relief to be correlated with the clinic, in the absence of insipid diabetes, the relief is not to be considered pathological). In axis, of normal thickness the pituitary pedicle. Free the suprasellary tanks. No signal alterations of the cerebral parenchyma under and supra-enters. Median structures in axis. In the limits the ventricular system."

Thank you in advance for your support!
