diagnosing low test

Recommended Posts

So I've just had some blood work done because I was experiencing fatique, increased sweating, high bp and my sex drives been lower.

I was thinking my thyroid had been playing up but my doctor insisted a range of tests

My vitamin, thyroid etc came back fine but should I be concerned about my test levels

From what I seen on the docs screen was the free range went from 225-725 and my level was at 305 now another range I seen was from 10-35 and I sat at 12.5 there was another range and I just made it over the minimum on that one also. I expressed my concern and he told me he would talk to his friend who is a endocrinologist and possibly get me a referral and has given me another follow up appointment

My current stats are

6ft

203lbs

13% body fat

Run 4 cycles in the past main compounds being deca,dbol,test e and sust which could of co tributed to it

Other symptoms I've been experiencing is motivation has dropped significantly recently and i get tired easily

Should have put some vials in your bag and taken over... 5 vials test last u over a year for trt

The NT is pretty scarce compared the the bigger city's. Like 100k people here.

Would take a 300 return trip to Thailand if I hadn't already been stopped at customs and had gear seized.

Bit off subject here but should a guy being getting TRT and was competing in a drug tested sport would he then fail the test for performance enhancers?

Difficult to tell if the test:epitest ratio is at the allowed ratio, there are other things they look at... But at an nzpf test I doubt. They would just look at it at face value unlike an Olympic Wada test. There is no drug test (that I know of) that test directly for synthetic testosterone. So how the test works is if your test to epitest ratio is out of whack (concentration of epi is above a certai threshold) then that is a positive test. It is uncommon, but it is possible for a natural person to fail this test. It's also possible to mask it reasonably easy and quickly if you understand the science depending on what ester of test is being used. Test suspension (at a lowish dose) within a week of competition/testing day. People take epitestosterone to try correct the balance of the ratio. I used to know lots more about it when nzifbb had drug testing and I was young and I had some gay idea of doing some their shows, but doesn't really matter to me now.

These top guys have scientists telling the what to do to pass tests. Olympics and all sports are riddled with drug cheats. Rather compete in comps that don't test, then there are no cheaters.

Hope that makes some sort of sense I watching x-factor at same time lol

With WADA testing (ie NZPF / Olympic Sports etc) if the test:epitest ratio is out, then they use isotope testing to determine if exogenous test or naturally occuring. So the test exists and has been in use for at least 5 years.

T:E ratios were 9:1, then 6:1, and now 3:1, so unlike a decade ago you wouldn't get away with using low dose TRT unless you also added Epi.

Br0 you realise I have blood tests to back it up lol. 9.3 ng / mol or whatever. Lh 1.6 I think.

 

oh thats right you also have a medical degree and have specialised as an endocrinologist for years, giving you the knowledge and experience to interpret those results and give yourself a suitable diagnosis and treatment right?
