Need help please for low t

[Antifatigue]

So just got bloods prior to my second cycle and here are my results:

Test 287 ng/dL LOW
Lh 4.2 mIU/ml (normal)
FSH 2.9 mIU/ml (normal)
Estradiol 12.3 pg/ml


Sorry photo won't upload for some reason.

Any ideas why my t is so damn low? I am taking nothing. Last cycle was over 4 months ago, did a test e only cycle for 10 weeks 500mg a week. PCT was nolva/clomid/aromasin for 4 weeks. I have felt great and all lately, but that's some low ass t.

Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

maybe your output went down for whatever reason,, age.. # of cycles.. its a known fact this and gh declines over time,, are u over 30? I got TRT when i was 32 and that was after having used gear in college.. i was on the young end for trt but low end of the spectrum still put me in as a candidate and had no issue getting it.. are u like 20?

I did not fast for the test, not sure if that would affect my test that much. Took the test first thing in the morning.

fasting shouldn't affect your test levels but who knows..

yeah that is low TEST, very hard to say why especially since your other numbers are normal.

could be a problem with your pituitary gland or something else. there is a lot connected with TEST besides testes..

your kidney test are a little high, are you running Creatine? and are you drinking plenty of water?

also, i would set appt. to see hormone specialist aka endocronologist, they can run bloods for other glands in your body and try to measure their functions. you can get TRT if that is what you want as well. i know it sucks but growing up in this world with the food, water, and air full of chemicals it wrecks our hormone levels. more men are coming to TRT at younger ages because of what i believe to be chemicals or growth hormone in food and water. this also explains why young people have severe acne or 7th graders have beards of fully developed breasts. Hormone imbalances which leads us as men to LOW TEST.

Thanks for the input. I was wondering if running another pct cycle would help at all? If so what to take

As far as trt is concerned, any idea where they could get my normal test levels to? Thank yoi

Is this the first time you have ran bloods? I'm just curious what previous numbers looked like. If this is the first time, it's entirely possible you've had low T for quite some time. You could try another PCT to see if you can bring it up,many run more bloods if you'd like. Or run an extensive PCT after your next cycle and get bloods drawn afterwards. If you can't bring it up, then you may have to look into TRT options with your Doc

Didn't take any bloods prior to my first cycle (dumb on my part). Just did bloods half way through cycle to check myself and now prior to the next cycle.

Rick, think it would be okay to start my second cycle now, pct (extensive), and check blood post pct to see if I need trt or not?

Second cycle was going to be 500mg test e/week. Taking aromasin 12.5mg eod.

Pct nolva/clomid for 4 weeks at 40/40/20/20 and 100/75/50/50.

Any advice or suggestions?

yes, like Rick said running another PCT may help, BUT it may do nothing as well. no one knows its up to you to try it if that is what you want.

if you do TRT assuming you have no problems they get your test levels to around 600-800.

i wouldnt start another cycle until you fix your current problems. if you run another cycle it will only suppress you further making recovery that much harder. if you end up going on TRT then you can cycle after you get your stable TRT dose. dont rush any cycles

 

[Antifatigue]

Thanks, definitely agree with you there.

How does doing nolva/clomid/aromasin for 4 weeks or so sound at the moment then doing bloods 2-4 weeks later sound?

i would do something that encourages endogenous production, not estro suppressible.. like hcg.. I use Stinging nettle.. look into that.. tribulus.. dont take adex or something b/c you will probbaly get estro rebound

 

[Antifatigue]

Hmm you make a good point. I appreciate the input, might as well check out TRT with my dr and go from there. Least I can get some pharm grade to get me up to normal lol

At your age, it wouldn't hurt to try natural methods to raise it first. You are very young to jump on TRT. If it's needed then, you should go for it, but I would at least make an attempt to bring yourself into normal range naturally first

The major question is... How do you feel?
Do you feel normal? Or do you feel run down, tired, low strength, low libido, etc.?
If you feel normal I suspect you've had low T for quite a while and just didn't know it.
What was your mid cycle level at?

If natural sopharma tribulus or stinging nettle, that's what I've got personal exp with.

That seems really low, especially at your age. You should consider visiting your physician. Bloodwork prior to your first cycle would have given you a baseline, but you know that already. I'm 50 and just started first cycle. My Test was 696 ng prior to cycle. Good luck bro.
