What was the cause of your hypogonadism?

What were your levels before? (free, total)

What are your levels now?

Random annual blood check and wanted to get some hormones tested, saw low levels in certain areas and high in others. Went to endocrinologist to follow up and do more blood work. Found slightly elevated level of prolactin, so I was sent to get a brain MRI. Came back with 1-2mm growth on anterior pituitary gland. Although benign and small, most likely the cause of other issues.

Total was ~300ng/ml I believe and free was on the low-normal range as well. I'll look up exact numbers if you're interested

Why do you need TRT at 22?

They didn't really have a definitive answer to be honest.

Why are you on TRT?

[OminousShadow]

Self prescribed huh?

[daniel1337]

150mg once a week. It's medically prescribed

what made you choose testosterone over estrogen?

Gainz!

Have you tried every other option to restart your hpta?

LH and FSH weren't adverse. Axis wasn't off except for the test. Estradiol is in check as well.

[daniel1337]

Self prescribed huh?

Nah. Prescribed through my specialist.

[gsxtreme1987]

Do you even lift

[daniel1337]

^ self administered, though.

[daniel1337]

Do you even lift

Yeah brah. Gained 5 lbs in the last couple weeks. Feelsgoodman.jpg

[Skinnyfloyd1]

150mg a week is low. Should be around 250mg IMO

[gsxtreme1987]

Das it mane. Can't wait for my turn for dat legal juice.

[bangwhosnext]

If you have a benign growth on your pituitary gland then I suppose TRT may be the only option.

Sucks brah, would hate to have to depend on that chit for the rest of my life.

EDIT: Is that a scan of your brain in your avi?

[Anabolex43]

how does it work? do you just go to the pharmacy and get as much as you want? would be overdosing as hard as possible for gains

[daniel1337]

Usual TRT dosage is 100-200 mg a week. I am starting at 150 to see how it goes. I always have the option to go up or down as necessary. With prior authorization from endo, of course.

Haha I've only been on for a week and half but can definitely start to feel a difference.

It does suck. I'm not thrilled about it either.
But its not something I have to depend on for the rest of my life. If I go off I will just go back to my old levels.

[daniel1337]

It's prescribed, and covered through insurance. I could easily "blast" and then "cruise" but we are focusing on optimizing my levels and finding a good Test/Est balance for now. Follow up in ~4 weeks to see what my levels are at.

[kingppoppy]

pics of physique? I assume you have a good physique cuz you have 14k bodypoints (unaware how those work tho)

were you on gear before?
If you didn't, do you still consider yourself natty?

[NineThree]

Would you be allowed to up the dose for those omega gains?

[KazBrah]

Welcome to gainzville.

[Owz600]

How fast did the endo get you on?

I have high prolactin levels (doctors suspect Prolactinoma - benign growth on the pituitary glands) I won't need trt but hopefully I'll be put on cabergoline to lower prolactin.

Never touched gear in my life.
And I have a fairly decent physique, 5'10" 180lb 14-15% body fat as of right now. Sorry don't have any current pics.
I consider myself natty due to not introducing supraphysiological amounts of test into my body.

Would you be allowed to up the dose for those omega gains?

[SasquatchHunter]

I've been on for 3 years. It has made a world of difference. Only concern I have is I am serious with a girl and I dont know if I can make babies. Your red blood cell count will elevate too OP. You will need to donate blood regularly to get it down. This way you dont stroke out.

[daniel1337]

Would you be allowed to up the dose for those omega gains?

Technically, no I am not supposed to do that.

Welcome to gainzville.

Haha I will make a progress thread in the next few months.

That's what they suspected with me too. I'm still due to get a follow up check on my prolactin. What were your prolactin levels?

They got me on fairly quick. Within a month or so.

So I guess we don't read the rules anymore.
