Suspecting issues with low T, 23/m, 155lb. Active athletically. Some lifting. No drink, smoke, drugs.
Find it really hard to gain any mass, had some malabsorption issues with B12/Iron but sorted that shit out. Self injecting hydroxocobalamin to fix b12.
Had issues with fatigue but that might've been the above a lot. Still having some fatigue, nowhere near as bad but I don't feel myself.
Got hormone levels tested and had 499ng/dl free T, and 120 estrogen. Dr told me normal range is 288ng/dl T and E should be under 220, so I'm fine.
Still wondering if my T is on the low side. Any opinions? UK fag, don't know where to get gear anyway. Was thinking about T gel? Don't like the 'T supplements' place sell.
Your test isn't low. You can't blame every perceived issue on your body on t.
If you want to roid, then roid. You don't need low t as an excuse

The fatigue is the problem desu
Done millions of tests to figure out why The ng/dl to nmol calculator showed me as almost low.
Owen Myers
eat more carbs
Jaxon Watson
More carbs even? I mean I eat bread, pasta, starches like potato.
Dominic Davis
how much are you sleeping per night? you should try and get at least 8 hours. there are quite a few studies that proved that stress is #1 killer of muscle and strength gains. if you are depressed or stressed a lot that could be it. fatigue is usually linked with depression.
Parker Carter
Ugh, my rhythm is fucked right now. Last night I slept 7hr20.
The b12/iron thing used to give me hypersomnia, where I was too exhausted and had to sleep for long periods of time.
Usually it'll be 5-10 hours, 8-9 is usually comfy for me. 5 is my minimum really.

OP do you have pernicious anemia?
Oliver Torres
intrinsic factor came back negative red count was 15.4% no macro or micro cytosis (red cell size was normal) low globulin proteins but that's expected
so I had 'idiopathic vitamin b12, folate and iron deficiency'
had an endoscopy and such and they found no cause, no IBD, no crohns, no ulcerations or anything

It was pretty incredible how my confidence shot through the roof when I moved to the countryside
>Wake up early >Do manual labour most of the day >Ride my bike to the comfy local gym in the evening >Neighbours give me egg, meat, veggies etc because I help them out often >Sleep 8 hours every night
My voice sounds deeper and my body language is more relaxed among other things.
While my current lifestyle might not be for everybody, I'd reccomend that you listen more to your body and put yourself into situations that feel rewarding. Either way, relax and remain calm, OP, you'll hurt yourself if you get too worried about every single flaw in you as a person and your life in general

Sometimes I get bad slumps.
Last week I had to sleep 18 hours on Monday and Tuesday. I couldn't keep myself awake. I hadn't over exerted myself or done anything crazy, I got out of bed, I was preparing to go about my day, and boom. I felt horribly tired. I crawled back to bed, and slept it off.
Last night I felt crazy energetic. I was having less issues moving than usual, my whole body felt light. That was on 2 2.5 hour naps, and several days of that to boot.
It's just.. inconsistent. I wanna be a good balance. At the moment it feels like I'm at about 60-70% of what I am, last night felt like 80-85%. Last week was back to like 30%.
Samuel Ortiz
B-but I have to blame something thats not my fault!
Connor Perez
Alright, that sucks. Probably negative for bacterial overgrowth aswell? Assuming you don't have any other GI problems?
Joshua Roberts
Yeah, nothing really there.
I tried probiotics, and I had like 10 different supplements I tried at different times to see if anything made improvements.
It took doctors well over a year to diagnose B12 deficiency (at 146nmol), including three discussions on sleep hygiene and 2 "the human body is complicated and we don't always find out what's wrong" talks. I hope you understand why I like to make sure something isn't an issue.
>fap more when you're otherwise not doing that what did he mean by this
Benjamin Howard
nofap is a meme
Jonathan Morgan
dont say that or ill be wanking my days away
Mason Jones
your test is low
Brandon Cox
Hey, you might have hypothyroidism. Tends to run with autoimmune diseases, such as the one affecting your B12 levels (pernicious anemia).
Not troll. Check thyroid levels.

Started working on a farm ~1.5 years ago and have noticed some similar masculinity gains. Hard work makes you a better person. Not to mention having to euthanize pigs with a hammer toughens you up a bit.
Andrew Reyes
agree with this guy, i feel the same about the stupid pelvic tilt threads trying to find out why they have a gut
Bentley Johnson
It's all in your head op. You need to get your head on straight and stop chasing meme excuses.
