Murks T levels (|) - Test results came back at 300

[Murk]

If you go on TRT yes, it's a lifetime decision. Your body will eventually stop producing T and it may not ever restart if you try to come off of it.

The biggest thing you need to ensure is to get your Hematocrit levels checked regularly. One of the main side effects in some people(including me) is something called polythecemia, or overproduction of red blood cells. If this happens, you need to donate blood or your blood will turn into sludge and you may end up having a stroke or heart attack due to blood clots/blood thickness. I tend to donate every 8-12 weeks so I don't need to worry about it. As someone who was deathly afraid of needles and used to pass out simply getting blood work done as a kid, I never thought I would do that, but I do...

The other is to ensure your estradiol levels stay in the proper range. Excessive E levels are not good and can cause blood clots and other issues, including making you an emotional mess. I am also a high aromatizer so I ensure to take 25mg of Aromasin/Exemestane every 3 days or so to keep my levels stable.

This is why all these lawsuits have come out with TRT is because people don't do these two things and have adverse events. They are preventable with understanding of the risks associated with it and the precautions taken by the individual.

My blood work (aside from Testosterone) came back great and my estradiol levels are on the low end so no worries there either.

This is something you would need to monitor for a year before saying that. It builds over time it wouldn't happen right away.

If after a year you don't have any issues then you likely don't have to worry

I’m not going on TRT ever and I get my bloods checked regularly my cell count and everything else has been good for 3+ months. I’ll continue to get checked.

I’ve been sleeping 8+ hours, working out hard especially legs, and walking in the day time. I can’t lie I feel so much better for it after only 1-2 weeks.

Oh yeah, then if you aren't on TRT there isn't any reason to do it...my response was directly toward what are things to watch out for while on it.

But that T level at 300 will be a problem as you get older. Whatever you need to do to get that up I would do it.

Yeah for sure, I'm trying to double that to 600 by July 2023

Yes you will. There is no "magic" testosterone booster. Like I said, if you were doing everything good up to this point, needle in your butt cheek is the next step. The sooner you make peace with it, the sooner you'll recover and feel fine, even more so if you wanna be successful in your business.

The thing is I wasn't doing everything well until this point, I've been doing everything wrong. I'm like the opposite of you, you were doing everything right so had to go TRT route.

I am getting to -12% BF (while incorporating many different things) before I even worry about my T. I'll keep getting it checked and post results here but I feel very positive I can double or even triple my normal and free T levels this year. After blasting my legs and getting more sunshine I already feel great.

Got my assessment today. So my T levels are so high that they thought I was already on TRT. I inquired because of performance issues, namely taking longer than would be expected. Upon hearing that, she dug into my LH levels. Those levels are high. High LH symptoms are common to the above related issues and also foreshadow potential hypogonadism, ie, despite having T like I’m in my 20’s, it’s actually decreasing and could cause performance troubles. She’s going back with this information to the doctors and likely, will have a Trt Script.

Spoke to doctor. He said the LH was a curious situation. Getting gear. It’s going to push my numbers to the roof but the aromatose inhibitors and hcg coming as well.

 

[Murk]

What are you referring to by "gear" in this instance? You said you have insanely high T that they presumed TRT use so I'm confused about what you're trying to do? Use gear to lower your LH levels?

Is this doctor a quack? TRT is for people with low levels not abnormally high ones.

What was you Free Testosterone? Total T is just a visualization number o your T attached to protein

Free T is always the important one...my free T is always super high even when in range from TRT which I don't quite understand why...I mean I know why, because my SHBG is very low, but I don't know why that is

Since you're committing to shutting down your HPTA, you might as well start blast and cruising.

Wow what a reply from the community holy cow lol. What is blast and cruise?

He wanted to give me peptides. I was like no shot dude. I took a couple cycles back in my 20’s, you can imagine what my numbers were then. I know what gear does for me

I’m getting 400 mg/ week of t. The gear is because I likely have a lower T number than the test showed. I took a test a month before under same conditions and had 600 ng/dl. Something is amiss. When I took a couple cycle of enanthate (Norma Hellas) and dbol back when i was 26, I was walking around with boners 24/7. Dbol actually lowers drive so that’s really all I need to know. Sometimes you need to be your own doctor.

I find it hard to believe this many men <45 have testosterone issues…

Then you need to wake up to the ongoing poisoning that global governments are doing to their people. It's no coincidence.

That's pretty crazy...your free T is very low for total T being that high. You should look into stinging nettle root which will block SHBG to allow more of that T to be free. You are basically wasting all that T production and simply aromatizing it into estrogen. Might be worst case scenario since most of the T isn't usable by your body, but since there is so much of it, your estradiol levels are high because it takes all that extra T and turns it into E.

On TRT, my Total T is usually somewhere between 625-675 and free is like in the high 40s to low 50s which is way over range for free T(unsure why my SHBG is so low but it is apparently)

Your estradiol level is too high also...mid 20s is where you want to be. Might want to talk to your doctor about getting some Aromasin.

So probs TMI but i am natty 600 T. I’ve been v low libido. I had a big event coming up that stressed me out for weeks.

since that is over (big success) I’ve been horny as hell. Mrs is on rag but I’ve jacked it 7 times in 2 days.

any guys with low libido I would suggest stress as a major factor
