prolactin is getting interesting, but can be elevate for a day or two after sex or cuddling puppies, babies and kittens
Pre TRT should have tested LH/FSH to find out if problem is your testes or pituitary.
Cannot do now, missed that boat.
Please self-inject T twice a week and always do labs halfway between injections to minimized lab timing artifacts.
TSH was nice, but often not the whole picture. Your fat levels are driven by T levels, E2 levels and strongly by thyroid function. If you have always used iodized salt, that eliminates a lot of potential thyroid issues.
For your body weight, 100mg T cyp per week seems too little. You need TT near 900-1200 with high FT levels. [I am thinking 160-180mg scaled to a reference 160# reference weight.]
Given your strength, when you add T to the mix, your muscle strength may improve rapidly. However, your connective tissues may be less than great from your low T. Connective tissue strengthens very slowly. So there is a danger of tearing connective tissue that heals very slowly and may require surgery. So please use some caution. Even if you do not increase your weights, simply throwing more effort against the iron increases loads and risk of injury.
Pre TRT:
were your testes seeming any smaller or not hanging fully
was mood good
lots of energy
nocturnal and morning wood
sexual performance OK
libido good
great looking girls are objects of art or objects of lust
- I am trying to understand your “seeing results”
When things are contradictory, you cannot rule out lab errors.
