I'm still searching for a clear explanation on how "metabolites" can be in higher range but not T. Marianco's insight and this thread has actually been extremely helpful. I too, was viewing androstenedione as being "bottlenecked". But apparently this is wrong way of looking at it.
What are your symptoms? What initially led you to investigate hrt? |
My parents go into the whole 'bioidentical hormone thing' and I didn't believe in it but agreed to an initial workup, anyways. Sure enough, my T was way low. I always had a feeling that something in me wasnt 'right' but I didn't think T and I hoped not.
I maintained a girlfriend and had no problems for 7 months but, right around the
test time, come to think of it I did experience some ED.
Additionally, even with a PERFECTLY tuned diet (calories, macronutrients, etc) and the utmost dedication and aggressiveness (the most I could muster) in the gym... I couldn't put on more than 2-3 pounds of muscle above my setpoint. I just figured I was a hardgainer.
Its late so I'm not going to ramble too much further but PM me if you want to talk.
