Whoa, wait a second, here. Bro, you are jumping to major conclusions here. Your last blood
test was very much normal and healthy. To say that you have low T levels now because of certain symptoms you’ve described is a major assumption. You need to have a blood
test in the morning to see what’s going on. Based on your last blood
test, I doubt you’re hypogonadal. I think so many people are blaming all kinds of things on “low T” when they are not “low.” Your last
test certainly wasn’t. Do you think it’s worth taking a bunch of drugs that have various side effects to go from mid 500s to mid 600s total T is worth it? I don’t. I doubt it will make a difference in anything. The medical research out there shows that HPTA shut down is very reversible on its own, especially when use is short, ie. Less than 4 months. There’s not reason for your HPTA to have suddenly malfunctioned after your last
test. I think its irresponsible for people to tell you to take a drug like
Nolvadex, which I might add is not a benign, minor drug, without a blood
test.
I hear so many guys complaining about erection problems, libido problems, depression etc… Hey, welcome to adulthood. I know a lot of guys who have problems in adulthood blame their brief experimentation with
AAS. I think it’s a major stretch as HPTA recovery is the norm in the VAST majority of cases even without SERMS or
HCG. The hypothalamus is your hormone thermostat, and it works very well. Hypogonadism is usually caused by the pituitary not working or the balls not working. Injury or tumor is often the cause. Look at your lifestyle—your work hours, your relationships, your diet, sleep, all that… This can all affect your mood and libido.
Yes, zinc is good. But, don’t make assumptions, my friend when your lab results are contrary to your own assumptions.
I think the total T numbers people on this board think are “optimum” are actually high. T is not the solution to all vague ailments and complaints.
