Hey all,
I am new here and I have just started trt.
I live in Australia and after about 6 years I finally got help from a TRT clinic after feeling like crap for years. Doctor wouldn;t help as they kept saying i was in the "normal range" Australia seems to be happy to let men just fizzle out. It's awful here.
total test - 11nmol/L (range is 10-30)
free test - 236pmol/L (range is 150-700)
shbg - 26 nmol/L (range (13-71)
oestradiol 75 pmol/L (range >150)
Had all the symptoms - everything was a struggle, low libido, brain fog, despite working out regularly, eating well.
I'm 6'4" 94kg @ about 12/13 % body fat.
anyway, a trt clinic has prescribed me 10mg/week test enanthate, which I am taking 50mg twice p/week. I am concerned that the trt clinic will get shut down(as they seem to do here) but I will have to deal with that if/when it happens. I just had to do something about the way I was feeling.
My concern is the testicular atrophy thing. I have a varicocele in my left testicle so it is already atrophied. I don't want them getting much smaller.
Once I get my test levels dialed in, do you think i could run proviron with it. I believe that can help some men with this.
Any information you could provide would be much appreciated.
