May 2020 Results - First time go with TRT - Thoughts?
Hi everyone. New to these forums so go easy :)
35 year old male, 6'0 220 lbs, lifted for 11 years now and have not been able to break plateaus for about 5 years.
Been feeling progressively like sh*t, so I decided to get my labs done. My family doc said they were 'fine'.
Hemoglobin - 140 (range 135-175 g/L)
Free T4 (Final) - 14.3 (range 9.0-23.0 pmol/L)
Free T3 (Final) - 5.1 (range 3.5 - 6.5 pmol/L)
PSA Total (Final) - 1.44 (range 0.00-2.50 ug/L)
Estradiol (Final) - <30 (range <2000 pmol/L)
DHEAS (Final) - 10.6 (range <14.0 umol/L)
Testosterone Free (Final) - 178.3 (range 175.0 - 700.0 pmol/L)
I felt my T was on the low end. Another test a few months ago was 174.0. My doctor said that the low T numbers weren't responsible for my fatigue, brain fog, sleep issues, etc, etc.
So I went to a clinic that specialized in TRT and immediately they put me on 0.6ml of Test E 200mg per week as well as a half of 1mg tablet per week of Anastrozole.
From research, it says it can be a few weeks before the effects of Test E are felt, however maybe it's the placebo effect, I dunno, but after the first shot, I feel quite alive again.
I have to do follow-up labs in 8 weeks of this regimen to see where I'm at. Then I'll have a good understanding of my levels. I want to get bigger and stronger, so I'm hoping I'm on the right path and am open to suggestions, opinions, thoughts.
