% FREE TESTOSTERONE 3.1

TESTOSTERONE(TOTAL), SERUM 72.0

SEX HORMONE BINDING GLOBULIN < 10.0

These are normal doctor said:

FSH 3 ng/ml

PROLACTIN 8 ng/ml

LUTEINIZING HORMONE 3

My doctor is starting me on Depo-Testosterone 200mg every 14 days...I will have

to give myself the shots.

I am 40yrs old and have many problems (tired all the time, memory problems,

sleep problems, lost interest in sex, beard not growing and loss of body hair)

endo said by bringing my levels up should help, he said it should help with my

body and facial hair growth problem as well..he said due to the size of my

testicles my levels have been most likely low for years.....anyone else taking

depo-testosterone? has it helped with facial hair growth and giving you more

energy...how long does it take to start working.

in order to get proper plasma levels one needs to take bi weekly shots with a 27

gauge 1/2 inch needle in your shoulder or quads. If you give a shoot 200 mgs/2

week, you will be peaking at 2000 and by end of the 10 day you will be down low

400's. This is a huge rollercoaster ride for both e2 and testosterone. After

getting e2 and testosterone stablized for 8-10 weeks with monitoring other

hormones so they do not get out of balance one can add in HCG 250 ius 2 time s

week right before your shot to keep your testicles nice and full as well as back

filling your LH receptors all over your body.

Hi daicompacifica and welcome,

First you need to add to your labs the units and ranges this helps others to

tell what is going on.

I don't need them to see you have a every low LH and FSH with low Testostreone

now all we need is your Estradiol levels done it your Estradiol levels are high

getting them down your Testosterone levels will come up.

I feel if you try this then test again and if your still low on T, LH and FSH

then you need an MRI done on your Pituitary to rule out a tumor. It's rare to

be cancer and you just might have had this problem for yrs.

Don’t do shots every 2 weeks at 200 mgs this only like Hardasnails says will

put you on a roller coaster ride up after the shot only to fall low by the next

one. This is dam old and dose not work and a big shot like this drives up your

Estradiol levels high levels kills your libido gives you ED and Panic Attacks

with some bad Brain fog..

You need to get your Total T levels up into the upper 1/3 of your labs range for

a young man and to keep your Estradiol levels down to about 20 pg/ml. If you

can do this and you don't have bad Adrenals or a Thyroid problem you will feel

fine.

I need to tell you after you test your Estradiol levels and or get them down and

you still have low levels of testosterone, LH and FSH levels. You need to have

an MRI on your Pituitary to rule out a tumor this is rare to be cancer.

Buy looking at your low SHBG levels I don't think your Estradiol levels are high

but check them any

way.

I your Estradiol levels come back low going on TRT will bring them up and you

sex life will come back.

Also look into using HCG later once your leveled off adding this to your TRT

will get your testis working again and there size will come back up. Mine did

after 23yrs of being the size of small grapes.

Do read this link on page 11 or the AACE Guildlines it states to do shots every

7 to 10 days.

Also go to www.allthingsmale.com and read TRT: A Recipe for Success and the HCG

update Dr. puts this out there for you and your Dr. free.

As for how long it takes to feel better read my story at this link I was off on

on at work for 5 yrs being told I suffer from Major Depression one every kind of

dam AD drug on the market never feeling better. I was not suffering from

Depression but suffering from low Testosterone and after being on TRT one month

I was back to work. I still did not feel 100% because Dr.'s told me I am

Primary meaning my Testis don't work read my story.

So you see from my story you need to know why your low and treat all the

hormones that are low of low normal.
