Get Shredded!
Howdy everyone!!

New member here, and new to this world. Been feeling like shit for awhile. “Low normal” T levels for my age (male 41@ 350ish total t). Visited two uro’s who both told me to go see an endo. First visit with the endo on Tuesday.

If that doesn’t pan out I was/am considering clinics but they are crazy expensive. Plus with the new regs for telemedicine coming down the pike not sure how that will shake out.

Even if the endo prescribes T, I’m considering cycling to lose some more weight and gain muscle back. Recently lost 100 lbs (6’5” 350- 250) and am no longer obese. But def need to shed another 30 or so pounds. So hard to do at this ripe old age lol. Plus I find if I even take a week off training at this point I lose strength rapidly.

Anyway I’m looking forward to gleaning as much knowledge as I can from the fine folks here. I’ve been lurking for a bit already and am impressed with the helpfulness and sense of community.

Welcome to ASF. I've been navigating the TRT world for a bit over a year. Wish I would have started this journey around your age. Happy to share advice on my experience, just ask. There are many paths. What is most important is to dial your path into what is right for you. You'll know it when you get there. It will be interesting to hear what your Endo has to say.

Sorry for the late reply don’t know why it wasn’t notifying me about posts.

Anywho I’m tracking macros and calories. Weighing all foods. Doing high protein/low starch veg. Pretty much nothing processed. No added sugars. Essentially keto but not necessarily high fat since I still have a good amount of my own supply of that haha.

Hey thanks for the response! Basically my Endo said that since I wasn’t clinically deficient that he wouldn’t even consider trt. I was able to talk him into a round of clomid to see if that helps symptoms. He wasn’t convinced my symptoms were from low t since I “wasn’t low on the labs”. He’s starting me at 25mg every other day for 20 days. New labs at 30 days. Not sure what the next step will be then. I’ve read clomid can take months to work. And the potential sides are a bit concerning. I did find a local hormone clinic and have an appt with them next week. If nothing else I can use them to get dialed in then once I’m on a protocol that works for me I can hit up one of the sponsors on here for my supplies.
