Hey guys long time lurker on the site looking for some help. I have been worried about test since about the age of 19 reading Men’s Health articles saying that no morning wood was a bad sign. Even at that age I wouldn’t have it very often. More recently I have decided to pursue blood tests. I have had 3 in the last year all indicating low T, low LH.
Head injuries are a suspect and I have had my fair share of poorly treated concussions playing hockey and fighting MMA. Any advice here would be greatly appreciated.
I am working with a doctor that is very open minded and is really letting me take the lead. At this point HCG monotherapy with Arimidex ready to go is my biggest interest. Looking to have kids in the next 5-10 years so I would like to stat away from Test as much as possible.
Any ideas or thoughts about HCG monotherapy or successful HPA restarts after head injury would be much appreciated.
