Hi All,
I appreciate your time for reading my post. I am 32, Male, 6 years of bodybuilding. Weight is 81 (was 86 during cycle)
I did a 11 weeks cycle in April last year (last pin mid June). I was taking 600 mg Tri Test per week and Anavar 60mg per day the first 4 weeks. I also injected 500ius HCG every week in 2 shots.
My PCT (finished in August) was the famous Super PCT. Dosage for me were 50 mg clomid per day and 20mg tamoxifen per day, with the last 7 days only Tamoxifen. Total 40 days including first 15 days of HCG 1000ius eod.
Now, after 5 months I am feeling shity. My symptoms changed from brain fog/anxiety/racy heart to Insomnia, night hot flushes, tiredness.
My baseline Test (Before cycle) was:

According to my knowledge the problem in the November is the high sbgh and Prolactin that keep my Free Testosterone down and estrogen up.
The last test shows that I fixed the prolactin issue but the sbgh became even higher and keeps my Free T down.
Between tests I took: GABA, ZMA, Maca Powder and a good multivitamin every day. I also took for only 2 days 50mg DHEA and my symptoms improved a lot straight away but I stopped taking it because I was told that increases estrogen and create “addiction”. Since today I quitted all supplements. I will only take Tripthofan before bed.
I am experiencing Lack of sleep; I wake up after a few hours feeling hot and cannot continue to sleep for hours… I have an appointment with an Endo in 20 days but I would love to hear some opinions. I really would like to avoid TRT… please can someone offer an insight and possibly some hope… I am only 32 and I wouldn’t want to start this early, can I still be saved?
Thank you all
