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

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?"Before you diagnose yourself with depression or low self-esteem, first make sure that you are not, in fact, just surrounded by @ssholes."

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

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.- NOT MEDICAL ADVICE -

How fast did the endo get you on?

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.

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.

Technically, no I am not supposed to do that.
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.- NOT MEDICAL ADVICE -

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