Trt

[mrrochez]

hi there ,got some blood work done a while back and got result today
38 years old
my test came back 27 which was high for my age he said
my bio was 49.. which kinda low, wanted it up around 60,
hes perscribed me 50mg test every 3 days (150mg) 9 days
50mg clomid 3 days a week?

is it worth it? also gave me dutastride ..

ill post full panel tomorrow when he emails me,
is the juice worth the squeeze? thoughts, feed back?
i havent took anything in 15 years, dunno if wanna go down that road again but would like a bit of a boost in gym, training since im 20, 5 days a week, im about 12/13% bf 6"3 84kg

if went on trt so he suggested dutasteride, why would u be against? dht blocker?
thats what he prescribe below,
they forget to email me blood panel , hopefully ill receive later ill post..
a friend suggest not to bother with metformin...
also i find it strange he would prescribe me test and clomid which is normally for pct?

ok here u go, my problem was low sex hormone binding...

[mrrochez]

i dont live there no more so dont really care but anyway.. not even in USA
ur advise is making me not wanna try trt at all..
dr said hed like to get to around 60, that 38 low

I would encourage you to get some more opinions here, but your numbers look good to me.

No clue why the doc would recommend upping your SHBG.

yeah, do u think id have anything to gain from running 150 mg trt for 6 months,
ive to start tomorrow if i am, guess ill have another sleepless nite ....
i mean, why fix it if its not broken? pain in ass pinning every 3 days then, pct,

[mrrochez]

thanks dude

First of all...
Your personal info is on those files...
I would remove them.

Second of all...
Your natural testosterone is at the top of the range.
I wouldn't recommend TRT.

Also...FYI...
You do not jump on TRT and come off 6 months later.
There is a chance your HPTA doesn't fully recover.

i used a a converter to find my free test..
SHBG
38

nmol/L
Testosterone
778

ng/dL

Explanation and examples
Free Testosterone
16.4 ng/dL = 2.11 %
Bioavailable Testosterone
385 ng/dL = 49.5 %

basically recons my bio test low, thats why recommending the 50mg every 3 days, in fairness my libido not great...

the doc wanted to try get my bioavailble up from 49.5 to about 70

All the more reason I would want to see DHT and TSH.

Those free / Bioavailable numbers look to be mid range but still healthy. You might try lowering SHBG slightly with boron at 5 to 10 mg per day. There is some evidence Longjack might do this, too. I liked it in my pre HRT days and still use it now and again.

Still though, I personally would not hop on trt with those numbers. Really need to see DHT and TSH to make a good recommendation.

ok i think ill give it a pass so, i might just blast 250mg for 10 weeks as summer now then do a pct....instead of signing up to that for life, thanks for the feed back, and help..
