Help!!

Hey Guys,

I had some bloodwork done for the first time in my life this week. I am 28 years old. When I was younger I did some deca and winstol. Also, Messed around with Prohormones (M1T and M-Drol). PCT was used but not as good as it should have been. That being said, my total testosterone is 351 ng/dL and free test is 8.4 ng/dL. My % of free testosterone is 2.4%. Estradiol Sensitive is 5 pg/mL. Everything in my thyroid panel seems in the middle range besides the T3 Uptake which was 39% which was borderline high. After reading many forums, it seems that since total test of 351 is in the supposed "normal" ranges, I will have a hard time having a Dr prescribe anything. I would really like to try HCG as opposed to TRT because at 28 I really don't want to further hurt my natural test production if not necessary. I haven't had any kids and would like to have some in the future. I currently have no insurance, however I will buy some ASAP if needed. Also, I am in Tampa, FL in case anyone knows of any endo's/uroligist/Doctors. All feedback is appreciated!

Problem with "most" doctors is that they like to rely upon 25 year old data for test levels, the "normal" range is ridiculous, I cant remember but I think its anywhere from the high 200's up to 700's ..they think if your in there sonewhere your good...1) try to find an endo or uro that specializes in athletes...they will usually have a more progressive way of looking at levels 2) certain symptoms are also considered, fatigue, loss of muscle, fat gain, lethargy, decreased sex drive...(look up low test symptoms)
3) you could find one if those "internet" hrt docs,(I havent a clue about them) or 4) you could maipulate your levels and get re-tested along with "symptoms" to see if that will sway the docs opinion.

Thanks for the reply...i had a consultation yesterday with a hormone replacement facility. Looks like they are going to try and give me moderate levels of injectable test and HCG...i figure i'll try it out for a few months, stop the TRT and HCG and take another test and see where my levels settle to. If they settle around the 600 range I will be happy. If lower, I will most likely resume the TRT. I will be spending around 200 a month for the test, hcg and any anti estrogens needed.
