So I am going to try to make it short but it will still be long so thanks in advance if you read this.
Straggled with depression and low energy since I was 15. I am 32 now and after trying lots lots of antidepressants (I am off all antidepressants for 2 years now) I decided to test my test because I read somewhere that it’s a huge factor.
My tests came back:
T :2.98 ng/ml
FT: 17.8 pg/ml
So yeah it was obvious it was low. So I went to my wife’s aunt who is an endocrinologist because where I live is really hard to start trt. After some convincing and tests the doctor was ready to put me on T (we only have nebido and ethanate here) but I had a bad feeling the she had zero experience on the matter because she never mentioned free test at all and her first dose was 250mg ethanate once a month… I was really bammed out but we discussed and she was open to increase the dose if I needed it and I figured I will split the dose myself since she was adamant on the once a month dose.
Went to the pharmacy right away. Gave him the prescription and asked for him to administer it… So everything was OK but when I went home and read the package (should have read it earlier but I was hyped) the T was nebido… I called my doc and she said yeah you can’t do just 250mg so go back and do the full 1000.
Didn’t make a big fuss because in my mind it was a higher dose. Anw fast forward 10days later I did a test because nebido peaks on 7-10 days and the results are:
T: 2.27 ng/ml
FT: 12.7 pg/ml
That’s like 30% less than when I started… Anyone has any idea what might be happening? I feel like shit so any advice would be appreciated. Waiting for my doc to call to see what’s going on.
Today I woke up and I feel like shit. I feel soo tired. Maybe is because I have been hitting the gym hard this 2 weeks and I am new but I dont know. BTW my shbg is on the lower end
