Hello everyone,
Long time lurker, first time poster (lame, I know). I’ve posted this to a few subreddits as well because I’m trying to amass as much information as possible.
Some assistance would be greatly appreciated. I recently got blood-work because I was feeling like utter crap: moodiness, no libido, central adiposity, low semen volume, difficulty sleeping, strange food sensitivities, and very weird IBS symptoms (bloating, constipation and diarrhea). My prior AAS usage is as follows: (3) 2-week cycles of 100mg/day test p and 30mg methandione. (Bill Roberts’ 2 Week Cycle). I don’t know if I can link here, but a simple google search of “bill roberts 2 week cycle” will bring you to the main article followed by multiple threads. The first 2 Cycles were followed up with clomid for PCT. Last cycle, Letrozole was used for PCT. After each subsequent PCT, I would feel fine for a month, and then begin to experience estrogen-like symptoms (bloat, central adiposity, etc). Little did I know this at the time, so I that’s why I hopped back on.
Doctor is hesitant about putting me on TRT because she said it “causes prostate cancer.” I know, I know. She’s old and told her that that statement is flat-out wrong. She said that GnRH therapy is used in these cases. I currently preside in Israel, so medicine is slightly lagging here. Is my best bet finding a new endo, or seeing if Clomid therapy might help? I would have to order clomid from an online pharmacy because it’s not prescribed for secondary hypogonadism.
Thank you
