question from a user
26 Year old male, 5ft 7 @ 80KG Multiple symptoms of low T & recently started 100mg test c per week Pre TRT: TT: 10.6 nmol/L, SHGB: 11 nmol/L, DHEAS: 6.5 umol/L, FT: 317.9 pmol/L, FSH: 10 IU/L, LH: 2.6 IU/L. Other markers that were out of reference range are: Fasting glucose score of 5.4 nmol/L & An Gap: 21 mmol/L My question is what can i expect starting a regimen at that dose with the following markers, also anything i should look out for or monitor carefully ?
AlphaMD's Answer
That is an adequate yet conservative starting dose for TRT. At that dose the average man should expect to be mid-range total T, with no side effects. You should feel nominal with resolution of most or all hypogonadal symptoms.
Any man on TRT should check for elevations in hematocrit (red blood cells), alteration in lipids (cholesterol), and potential speeding the onset of hair loss (in those genetically susceptible to MPB).
