Hello, I am in need of insight. I am currently 24 years old and did my first cycle 3 years ago when I was 21. I took all the necessary precautions and had a great base from powerlifting. I hit a final weight gain of 215 total lbs at 5’10’'. Here was my cycle:
12 week cycle
Week1: 500mg test E, 40mg Dbol
Week2: 500mg test E, 40mg Dbol
Week3: 500mg test E, 40mg Dbol
Week4: 500mg test E, 40mg Dbol
Week5-12: 500mg test E
Week15-18: Clomid - 100/50/50/50. nolva - 40/20/20/20
Had L-dex on hand
3 years passed and I had no issues, I was/ am a professional fitness model. I traveled Europe for 6 months and came back and was a vegetarian for 1 year. I exercise 4 times a week, throw in cardio, have a near perfect diet and probably 9-11% bf year round. I am currently 180lbs and fairly shredded. I started a finance position 10 months ago and absolutely hate it.
I became depressed and lifting became my life. 4-5 months ago I started feeling extremely tired, had no sexual desire, and overall fatigued. At the time I was on creatine because I have been all natural for years after my cycle use. I decided to get some lab work done and found out my testosterone was that of a 80 year old and prolactin levels of a woman in her 1st trimester.
I was/ am crushed at this point and dont know what to do. I have been seeing an endo and have another appointment next week. I dont want to go on permanent hormone replacement therapy. I have slightly puffy nipples (Or so I think, it could be in my head but I pay extremely close attention to my body, They feel sensitive). I usually have a cheat meal on weekends and drink occasionally ( Heavy drinking past 2 weekends because of my birthday). If I could get any advice on my next steps I would very grateful
I am still very strong although I notice my fatigue at the gym, I am maintaining my muscle mass/ weight. I have sex regularly with my gf but can only last about twice back to back in one night. It would be a test for me to try 3x in one night. I used to finish 4-5 in one night…
I sleep at least 7 hours a night and have had brain fog ever since this diagnoses
