Good Morning l,
I am new to the forum and have posted an into diving a little in to my history and why I am here.
To summarize it, I am 30 years old experiencing detrimental TRT symptoms and have been for years. I eat healthy and I am active (it's a struggle, but I do my best to stay motivated), and I have little stress. I just didn't understand but overtime I started reading about TRT and have pursued it since with little success from doctors. I am constantly diving through hoops to get it, and I am told to pop pills instead. Been there done that.
So I have been tested by a low t center twice. My SBHG came back low both times with my total T came back in the low range of normal. LowT center will be $20.00+ a week and if it's not covered, I am looking at $400+ a month for TRT outside of insirance. With my new home being built and a wedding on thr 15th, I am not looking to do that..
So I got a pre trt hormone panel last week. The results came back with high LDL (Christmas time is my cheat week, but i had my PC doctor test this past Monday and the levels came back within normal range).
Back to the point, my total test came back at 650ng/dL. But my Free T came back at 6 with the normal range of 8.7-25.1 pg/mL.. estradial sensitive came back 12.1 pg/mL with a range of 8.0--35.0.
Any guidance on protocol? Do I need it? I am aware of the commitment at hand and I am willing to go down that road, but only if I would benefit from it. If so, what should the shot be? I have read so many things and I am wanting a single plave to take advice from. With so many inputs I am confused and it has caused me to hesitate with this. I want a place I can go to, ask dumb questions that a relevant to me, and be helped.
If I did need to, I've read that pinning once a week is good at 100mg a week with out a A.I. as my estradial is low, I would take bloods at 5 weeks and determine if an A.I is applicable, and to dial in dosages.
Any advice is greatly appreciated and I can post full blood work later if need be.
Thanks again.
