AI question

[edmondle]

Hi guys

Im 34 I was on TRT since coupe of month ago, but never started, coz I wanna do a 500mg/week test e cycle, I'll have enough test next week to start so here is the question

My oestrogen is quit low, 40 (normal rage between 50-150) my test goes up n down from 7.1 up to 18.3 (normal rage from 8.3-30.1) my free test also goes up n down from 175-400 (normal range from 265-700) I've got aromasin, but my doctor told me not to use it until I feel side effects, but she doesn't know I'm using 500mg/week. In my case should I use right from the start or should I wait for sights?

Thanks guys

I think if you are on Dr prescribed TRT you should have started it and forget about your cycle. You'll be suprised what results you can actually get with the right amount test in your system.

To be honest, I'm not ready to use it for rest of my life, just

So why go through the testing and getting prescribed?

I thought it will be good to get some pharma grade test and var.

Also it work out cheaper buying from under ground labs, especially pct stuff, I got them from my local pharmacy just for a coupe of bucks,buy pct stuff from dealer works out 23 times more

What's the reason your natural test is low ed?
How do you plan on handling upcoming blood work with your doc, which is normal within a few months?

Thanks for asking, I know ur the hormone expert here! I'll just keep the story short.

I've got prolactin level over the roof, I really don't know why, never used gear in my life, but problem is solved after 8 weeks on caber, it was prescribed by another physician.

Few month later I got it tested again my natural test was still pretty low(but in a normal rage, normal rage is 8.3-30.1, my lowest was 7.1 after caber was 18, coupe month later dropped to 16, the last test before I was on TRT was 15)my physician refused to do anything, he said that's what it is. So I went to a anti ageing doctor

I've got a idea to handle blood work I've told her that im going over seas for few month (which I am going for a while not all lies), I've saved 45ml of test e 280 caps Var(20mg/each) 20ml of cjc1295 and all the other stuff I needed, HCG aromasin Clomid nolvadex. I'll get a blood work done 10 days after my last shoot or second week of my pct as test level will be in a high normal rage.

Thanks for reading

So you never had a mri of your pituitary to check for tumor?

Yes I have done MRI and ultrasound, no tumour, and balls are fine too.

Also after caber I've check my prolactin level as long test level, prolactin was all fine for the last 2 BW, it's in the very normal rage. Just the test n free test makes me confused

You won't be able to keep your endo in the dark for long. Test numbers don't lie and your doc will figure it out. If you go clean with the doc she'll most likely record that you're cycling in your medical record. She needs to cover her own rear. There is a real good chance that the HMO will get a hold of that record and if you have any complications in the future the HMO might not pay your medical bills. They'll say that your cycling caused the problem. Honestly, I don't go to the doc to do my blood work any more. But this is your personal call.

I'm not really going through insurance, I pay all this myself. In Australia insurance covers a really hopeless amount for TRT. (I'm paying 6k a year for my insurance but TRT is included in extra and it only cover up to $1500, also only cover $75 for each prescription, my consulting fee cost $500 each session so not really worried about fees when I choice this road)

Where else can you go?

Im sorry I am a little lost here. What is your plan then? You have come this far but dont want to do trt? Set the scenario for me, what did you go through all this for if you do not want to go on trt anyway?

I just want to experience a cycle first to see how I response to it. Then I'll decide if I want to use synthetic hormone for rest of my life. mate I'm only 34 I just can except the fact that I have to stick with it for rest of my life, I cycle on off, I always have a choice to stop

[edmondle]

So can anyone tell me if I need to take the aromasin straight away after first pin or wait for signs? Im getting my first jab today

[kelkel]

Also after caber I've check my prolactin level as long test level, prolactin was all fine for the last 2 BW, it's in the very normal rage. Just the test n free test makes me confused

This is where full BW will come in handy and be your guide as to what is actually causing your T suppression other than prolactin.

Start your AI day one or two of your cycle.

This is the most recent BW from anti ageing doctor, never used gear. But I was on a low carb diet for 6-7 weeks (took on the 9th April 2015)

Total T ----- 10.1 nmol/L (8.3-30.2)
Free T -----213nmol/L (225-725)
SHBG ----- 29 (13-71)
Deyhydroepianderone sulphate ----- 12.4 (3.0-10.5)
PROG nmol/L ----- 3.1nmol/L (1.2-4.8)
Sensitive Oestradiol ----- 48pmol/L (50-150)
Prolactin ----- 190mIu/L (45-375)
FSH ----- 6IU/L (1-10)
LH ----- 4IU/L (1-10)

This is the first BW with my anti ageing doctor

Total T ----- 15.2 (8.3-30.2)

Free T ----- 438 (225-725)
SHBG ----- 26 (13-71)
Prolactin ----- 30 (45-375)


Thanks @kelkel hopefully you can find something from these BW, anti ageing doctor just said this is what I'm born with, TRT is the way to go.
Physician also said it is what it is, but I don't have to worry becoz it's all normal even when my T level are not stable coz many things can effect my t level, food,rest,workouts etc etc.....

[kelkel]

Wide ranging free T level which would annoy me.
Did you ever get an MRI?
So, you've got prolactin under control yet T is still low in most BW's other than 2/16/15 where FT is great (free is what matters.)
LH level is ok from 2014.
I'd be curious about your cortisol as well as your thyroid to see if either are suppressing levels.

Yes I've done MRI and ultrasound all came back fine, no tumour, my balls are fine too. the guy who did the ultrasound even told me not to bother go back to my doctor to see result. Not sure what is cortisol, but thyroid I don't think has a problem tho. I think I've got a result some where for thyroid

Yes prolactin is all good , it's all in the mid normal range. So do u think TRT is my only choice if I want to be back to normal again? Feel really ****ed when my T level is at 7, just felt like end of the world

Just to add... You'd be very surprised at the muscle building properties of just regular testosterone numbers will yield! . Tbh - I am going thru the same thing and getting on TRT is my main priority - I can't go back to living the way I was(and it seems your suffering too! Imho, if you feel that bad then this is what replacement therapy is for(I'm 31) and have had low t dating back to 07... Yes it may be for life but I'm willing to trade living a shitty quality of life for a much better quality of living! Just my .02 buddy...

I got u bro, thanks for the heads up, I'll see how my cycle will end up, defiantly consider what u said, thanks

[kelkel]

I'd look into what I mentioned first. Then maybe do a little research on varicoceles as well. Rule things out then if the issue is still there yes, it may just be time. Google and take the Adam Questionnaire.

Yours is a tough case imho. Not bad LH and I'd think your T should be higher. So, rule things out that can suppress LH function and if that's done then look south at your testicals as a possible issue.

My testicals are all good from ultrasound, but I think since first injection of test till now I felt my balls shrieked, I did use HCG 500iu a week tho, or maybe I'm too sensitive?
