Hey everyone,I'm new here, and I'm hoping someone can share their knowledge with me and offer some assistance based on your experience with , I've been training for years and have never used any gear. About a year and a half ago, I fell into a major depression and completely halted everything in my life, including my workouts. I had some blood work done, and the results showed that I have hypogonadism. I did find out that it is genetic after my this. Here are my results:
- Total Testosterone: 6.9 nmol/l
- SHBG: 9.7 nmol/l
- Free Testosterone: 220 pmol/l
My doctor started me on Sustanon 250 (Aspen) on August 11 2023, and advised me to take Sustanon every two weeks. The first week of treatment felt like a switch was turned on, I began feeling like myself again. Since then, I've been working out and focusing on self-improvement. I'm striving to rebuild muscle and shed the weight I gained. I was 110kg and dropped to 104kg with cardio, weights and clean , and as you all know medical aid won't cover it. I read a post by Mfezdro where he mentioned, "If your doctor prescribes anything other than weekly Test Cyp injections as a minimum, you need to query him" So, here are my questions:
- 1) I know Sustanon has four esters and my testosterone levels will fluctuate over the next 14 days. Would test Cypionate be a better option for maintaining a consistent testosterone level? I'm contemplating taking 1ml of Test Cypionate every 7 days, or I could stick with Sustanon and take 1ml every 7-10 days. Just to add at day 10 - 11 I can feel my mood and energy levels start dropping as it is a noticeable change.
- 2) I have no idea which brands are trustworthy. What brand of testosterone should I consider to maintain the same feeling I have with the pharmaceutical grade TRT I'm on? Cost-wise it's not feasible for me to pay R450 for 1ml of Sustanon.
- 3) Can I take Clenbuterol with Sustanon or Cypionate to aid in fat loss? I'm hesitant to stack TRT with anything else right now due to potential interactions with my antidepressants. I'm perfectly fine with Sustanon and my current medication.
I'm seeking your opinions, knowledge, and experiences on this. I understand it's not medical advice. I hope you all can provide some valuable insights. It will be much appreciated
