Hey guys,
So i was diagnosed with Low T about 12 weeks ago (lab results below), and have had mixed results.
I suspected i might suffer from Low T and went and got tested. My results came back on the low side and i gave it a shot thinking it would improve my sense of well being and lift some mood disturbances ive dealt with for a while now and. Ive been a vegetarian/vegan off and on since i was 17, and despite my athlete genetics and competitive mindset, ive noticed (as well as others) my sense of well being and general health go down the shit. I found out eating alot of Soy products, and not enough animal meat might of screwed up my hormones in a big way, so i decided to give it a go.
So after 12 weeks on treatment, i honestly do not feel any better, and have even felt worst at times. Im not sure if it is related to the Low T, or life stresses and a shit diet/exercise routine.
One week after starting treatment i was diagnosed with a serious eye disorder and had to get surgery. This on top of starting a company caused me to get really stressed out and my diet has fluctuated but generally speaking its been shit. I was not allowed to excersise for two months, let alone get much sunlight, and have just recently started jogging again.
My question is this, i am starting to wonder what caused the Low T, and if the treatment is doing more harm than good in the long run for me. Im thinking of giving it a bit more time, and really putting effort into my diet and excerise to see if i feel better. With that said, after 12 weeks my test went from (331 to 650) and free test from (11.4 to 17) Here are my initial lab results.
I take 150 ML of Test Cypionate x1 week, and .25 HCG weekly x2 along with an anti E
Ive noticed since i got a refill from a different compound pharmacy ive been feeling a bit strange. The cypionate itself is incredibly thick to the point it barely comes out of a 23g nedieval and i have to push very hard into the 25g. upon contacting the pharmacy i was told my neeedles are to small, but the cypionate i had initially did not have this issue. Im wondering if this is normal to be that thick?
Feedback greatly appreciated, thanks!
