hello lads hoping some of u might be able to help about 2 months a go I felt like I was suffering from low test I had all the side effects and no surprise it came back low 6.7 nmol which i think is equal to about 170 in what ever system the americans use for anyone who’s American… that was low considering the minimum border is set at 7.6n/mol… I then after had a full hormone check a couple of weeks later, the results are below…

as u can see test is still low as is my free test (I did jab 1ml of sust straight after my last test results out of desperation but no more since) and also the SHBG is low. Follow those results I decided to go on HCG as a kind of HPTA restart and have been doing around 2500iu a week now about a month down the line I had a full test replacement blood test done the results are shown below… you’d expect my test to be higher than just over the minimum with all that hcg right? And still a low SHBG and high red blood cells… can anyone make sense of this? Any help is appreciated… Ive known been advised to follow Dr Scallys Power PCT which im about 6 days into:
Day 1-16 : 2500iu HCG every other day.
Day 1-30 : Nolva 20mg/day; Clomid 100mg/day (50mg was taken twice per day)
Day 31-45 : Nolva 20mg/day
However its a wierd one because ive already been doing hcg for about 5 weeks so maybe i should just discontinue that and stick to chlomid and nolva… thoughts??
Really dont know what to make of low SHGB either, thyroid estraidol and prolactin levels are all fine as wel
I’d also add before that 1ml of sust I hadn’t used Steds in at least 12 months more likely longer.
