It's over for me.I work out, bmi of 22, I sleep eight hours a day, I go to sleep at the same time and wake up at the same time consistently. I only eat whole foods. I don't drink sugary drinks. I eat a balanced diet, take zinc, magnesium and have vitamin D in the healthy range. I get 15 minutes of sunlight daily. I have tried to do everything and I am robbed of being a man regardless. My dad who lives and eats like absolute shit and is double my age as a test value of 700 ng/dl. Effectively more than double.Both my blood tests were taken in the morning as well. And no, I don't drink, but he does!So I am accepting it is over. I am going to have to do TRT. Has anyone else in my position gone on TRT? I am pretty sure I have always had low test, I still have mild gyno left from puberty. I always struggled to recover from exercise. Struggled with depression and lack of motivation for years. Oh and of course my (female) doctor thinks that this is all normal and prescribed me an SSRI instead.
>>76762342If I were you and you are being honest that you’re doing everything right, you didn’t really mention much training or cardio, then I would absolutely do it.Don’t try to be a hero, start at 100mg test cyp split into 2 doses a week and get a full blood panel done after 6 weeksIf it solves all your problems then great, if not, you’ll be fine to come off within 16 weeks, just wait a couple weeks after your last shot and run 10mg of nolvadex a day for 6 weeks and you’ll be fine Not a big risk really, and in your case the benefits could outweigh the risksFuck the ssris
>>76762342yes you need to hop on trt at age 22
>>76762342Man get on trt YESTERDAY. If you don't get on now, you'll do it in 5 years and wish you had done it 5 years ago with suffering all that time. If you can't get it from an in-person doctor, foot the bill (if you can) from a telehealth TRT clinic. Or just self-administer with black market stuff. You could try enclomiphene or another SERM first if you don't want to be married to a needle, but if your balls are the issue and not some hormonal issue upstream of your balls, that won't help.
>>76762342are you eating enough cholesterol?
>>76762342Need more fat and to focus on getting stronger on the big liftsThe struggle increases test
>>76762342Do you exercise, and if so, how? And on a scale from 'barely broke a sweat' to 'can barely walk afterwards' how much do you exert yourself while doing it?
>>76762342>. I am going to have to do TRT. Has anyone else in my position gone on TRT? I am pretty sure I have always had low test, I still have mild gyno left from pubertyYou want to roid, you don't want a TRT.No decent doctor in the world would prescribe you steroids just because you have 290 test. That's not how a proper TRT is.Some people are just born that way.
>>76762613To be honest a lot of """"fit""""" man with low test cut their fat intake to almost zero
>>76762342So you're a tubby loser with a shitty work ethic. Have fun being hooked on this shit for life.
>>76762342My position is fucked as well. I have very high gross testosterone but bottom range free test due to nigger hormones like prolactin and SBHG being high.
>>76762342>get a new doctorimagine trusting a female for anything Try getting on enclo first. my test was around 550, get in accident test drops to below 300. Get on enclo run a one month cycle gets up to 800. it drops again to around 700 and wasnt feeling as good, took a month break and then run another cycle got up to like 950...nothing wrong with trt i know i might do that eventually but enclo is worth it to start. sometimes just getting that boost one time will help your body kick up testosterone production that will maintain even after you stop taking enclo. especially at your age you should be able to get back to naturally producing test.
>>76762342Same but 400ng/dl at 22.The only downside that would matter to me is not being able to have children.But I am a virgin so it's not like I'd be having them without trt anyway.
>>76762342The decline in test among men needs to be investigated. Its one of the biggest threats we face and Im completely serious. Im not sure what's causing it but its clear it's happening
>>76762549For sure I will do something. I am trying to get to another doctor this week.>>76762706I train to failure, I make myself uncomfortable and do everything to get out that final rep.>>76762726I am not fat, never have been.>>76763302I will look into this thank you.>>76763637I think it's so many reasons, but what can you do. It won't be fixed within this generation or the next several ones.
>>76762342For me it's high shbg and low fsh/th indicates that my nuts work but are just not making that much, whatever is being made is bound up to shbg. We're losing fat and trimming down, then gonna try lifting and sleeping seriously before we decide to hop on TRT.t. 30, was 291 ng/dl up to 470 ng/dl recently
>>76762384Why comment without reading? What do you get out of this? are you just lonely? here:Hey anon, how is your day going?
>>76762342Yeah that's fucked dude, hop on the juice. Chances are doctors won't give it to you, they're gainsgoblin faggots, so you'll have to go with a telehealth provider.>Has anyone else in my position gone on TRT?Yes, been on it for a year now. It's not magic, it won't make you jacked overnight. Depression does not go away though, at least it didn't for me.Here's some of the sides I've gotten>slightly shrunken balls, not too bad with HCG>HDL cholesterol dropped significantly>high hematocrit, though that's because I was in the blasting zone (>1500 ng/dl) for 9 months trying to get dialed in>high estrogen side effects from the blasting>body hair and facial hair thickeningDon't be blasting, it's fun for the gains but the high estrogen is fucking miserable and isn't manageable with AIs.
