Should in start TRT?

[DragonMcStunts]

I am 26 years old. Ran multiple cycles from ages 18-24. I havent ran a cycle for 2 years now and recently had my levels checked. Overall test level was at 264. My doc prescribes me test cyp at 200mg a week and arimidex at 1mg a day. Here is my question. Should I attempt to raise my nat test by running clomid and hcg first and then rechecking my levels, or should i just begin replacement. I feel that I am kinda young for TRT. I would like to wait until I'm closer to 30, but if my levels won't come back naturally I'm willing to run test from here on out, no looking back. Any long term issues I need to be aware of? I would like to here from some guys who have had experience with TRT for years now.

I'm guessing you never did proper PCTs for your previous cycles? 264 is definitely low for someone your age. Personally, I'd be trying to kick start my natural test production before starting TRT at that age. But that's just me. HCGenerate might be a good candidate here.

Do you know what your Free Test, SHBG and Estradiol numbers were?

Wait about another 20 years.

The main question really is....

Do you have SYMPTOMS of low-test, Dragon? A lot of people have 'low' test but don't have the tell tale signs and go through life just fine.

This is a good lesson for all the younger guys out there to make sure they do their hw and know that your not invincible. Not everyone should have to learn the hard way like me. Most of the cycles were done with pct, but a few shorter ones (2 6 week winny and var cycles)were done without. The problem is I feel like I started to young and stayed on too long. At one point I ran 800mg of test e for a year straight. I've lost 30lbs since then (I'm down to 215) and been trying to train natural for the past 2 yrs. Have I screwed my levels permanently from this? For the past year I feel like I have plateaued. Can't get any stronger and can't lose fat in hormonal areas like my lower back. The only other symptom I notice is I have difficulty sleeping, I have no depression or sexual sides. Do you think I could raise it through anti-es and hcg? I went ahead and got the script for the arimidex if I run 1mg a day will it raise it? My insurance will cover everything but the test, but it is only $60 out of pocket. I just don't know how i feel about further making the decision to be on TRT for the next 50yrs.

Absolutely..this is why we do not support anyone below 21 on the AAS forum. I would suggest getting HCGenerate as well as a bottle of phytoserms and see if things get moving on their own with these products. Take the Hcgenerate at the recommend dose as well as the Phyto. DAA is another natty test booster to run as well. This may kick start natty production. Run them and then have bloodwork done a couple weeks after you stop and see what happens.

Re: Should I start TRT?

Here is a copy of my blood test. Should I get a second opinion from an endocrinologist first? Also doesn't 1mg of arimidex ed seems a little high. Won't this raise my cholesterol?

^^^^ Why are you even on TRT? Have you always had a low test level or was it self induced by not following proper protocol while cycling.?

This is the first time I have ever had it checked. I have been out of the game for the past 2 years. I didnt plan properly and I was poorly educated on the subject in the past. I want to do things right now and either get my levels back naturally or start TRT. Either way I want to get myself balanced out.
