how do you go about getting blood work done in Canada? I'm actually really curious what my test levels are among other things. I don't have a family doctor. He retired and the guy that took over moved the practice over an hour away. Can I just go to a walk in clinic and ask for blood work to be done? And do I have to ask for certain things to be checked or can they give me a full rundown on everything?
In countries with socialized healthcare they will only test you if you have symptoms of low T as to not waste public resources. Most countries have private clinics though and there you can get tested even if you dont have any symptoms since it’s coming out of your wallet
Look for private anti aging clinics. I filled out and email questionnaire and got a bloodwork requisition. Most of the hormone and nutrition testing wasn't covered by msp but the basic stuff was. Ended up costing me about 200 bucks. Turns out I ws a c**t hair over 700 so I decided no dice on TRT.
PCT isn't a myth. It just makes your balls restart its testosterone production a lot faster than it would have without it, so that you don't have to feel like a low test zombie for several weeks or even months
Yes it is a myth and actually counterproductive. I once made a whole detailed post about but I'm phonegayging atm. Same goes for the so called "test base". A concept that was spread by darknet dealers in the early 2000s
no one said its forever, but a lot of ppl need 6 months or even years to get back to normal. after 5 months i was ok, but to get back at pre roid status i needed almost 2 years.
What things do you notice are the most different when you're on cycle? Mental health? Horniness? The feeling of insanity? Anger? Im curious as I was considering a test cycle.
I do things like bench press 65s 4x12 reps, 10 chin ups and 8 pull ups. Pretty bad but I'm gaining strength more or less consistently, I'm still at the beginner stage. Is 409 too bad?
Its a little low, but it's not hypogonadal or anything. Being around 600 is a fine baseline for most people but you can still get plenty done if your t isn't optimal.
>but no doctor and especially blood work in 20 years is moronic
No it is not. No reason to look for something if you're feeling well. Overdiagnosis is a thing.
>no doctor and especially blood work in 20 years is moronic
how has humanity ever survived for thousands of years without some quack telling you how many mg of Vitamin G you have in your blood
I had stage 3+ on both nuts so your mileage may vary.
I'd only recommend getting it fixed if your sperm count/sperm health is messed up & ur test is low
like 50%+ of men have one and it's usually fine.
recovery was 4 weeks before I could run without pain.
hella swelling cuz I didn't ice my Junk every hour like they recommend.
both incisions still ach a bit even years later.
it's all good though.
heathy sperm increased 40X so that's the important part.
>broke up with toxic ex >sleep somewhat ok >6 eggs a day >one olive oil shot >body fat at 15% >sunlight everyday >lifting 2-3 times a week
Possible things that may lower my test are >too much caffeine. One sip and some espressos per day >stressful work environment every weekend >asthma medicine (don’t know if this fricks u up) >minimal seed oils here and there
Can’t think of anything else
WHAT ELSE IM I SIPPOSED TO DO? I see hot women and they don’t arouse me and in 2022 I was slaying left and right. Pls help
Idk I would just not call myself hypogonadic at 15% bf because the fat might be interfering. If it's still low at 12% then there's more likely to be a problem.
Stress will absolutely mess things up if you let it get out of hand
If you want to raise test you have to do high test things
Stop overthinking and worrying. None of the other things is going to be fricking up your test other than stress
1279 ng/dl natural.
Basically tripled my test by losing weight, left weights, and prioritizing sleep.
Average testosterone levels for men aged 18-35: >Year 1985: 780ng/dl >Year 2001: 610ng/dl >Year 2015: 450ng/dl
It’s a bit crazy that the average man today would be considered low T only 30-40 years ago. And nobody seems to give a shit about this downward spiral except a few passionate urologists, endocrinologists and tinfoil hat people on the internet
i got mine recently tested and i had 1112ng/dl as a lifetime natty
also only started working out last year and I'm 30 now lol
and i have a head full of hair
Probably not very. Not sure what to do about it though since I'm already doing all the "natural remedies", i.e. lifting, getting enough sleep, having a healthy diet and so on.
idk, I don't really care, still got plenty of head hair at 30, 6" dick and good libido, look better than the average person, stronger than the average person, doing all I can do slow down aging
I thought about checking just out of curiosity, but I don't like needles and they'll probably try to give me the clot shot while at it

Around 600ng/dl
PS: I did a testosterone cycle 4 months ago, the myth about a steroid cycle shutting down your nuts forever is a myth
You could castrate yourself with drugs down to 20ng/dl and you would still recover normal function after a month.
A month is conservative, you'll start blowing loads after a few days. The testes are extremely powerful organ.
There are a lot of moronic myths. PCT and "Test base" are the biggest ones.
PCT isn't a myth. It just makes your balls restart its testosterone production a lot faster than it would have without it, so that you don't have to feel like a low test zombie for several weeks or even months
Yes it is a myth and actually counterproductive. I once made a whole detailed post about but I'm phonegayging atm. Same goes for the so called "test base". A concept that was spread by darknet dealers in the early 2000s
actually the results of PCT or no PCT are the same, I found it hard to believe myself
no one said its forever, but a lot of ppl need 6 months or even years to get back to normal. after 5 months i was ok, but to get back at pre roid status i needed almost 2 years.
PCT exists and has been common knowledge for decades
is there are after picture after he got back on it again? Pretty wild transformation i'd guess. Steroids aren't magi-
834 total and 129.8 free, but I can't eat enough to save my life so I'm dyel
219 ng/dl
rip
i know. luckily i started trt last week
My condolences...
Off cycle - 600-650ng/dl
On cycle - 1800/2000ng/dl
I prefer on cycle (obviously)
What things do you notice are the most different when you're on cycle? Mental health? Horniness? The feeling of insanity? Anger? Im curious as I was considering a test cycle.
>850 ng/dL last time I was checked
409 ng/dl total, 12.8 pg/ml free. Pondering about Tongkat Ali...
What strength level are you at with test like this?
I do things like bench press 65s 4x12 reps, 10 chin ups and 8 pull ups. Pretty bad but I'm gaining strength more or less consistently, I'm still at the beginner stage. Is 409 too bad?
Its a little low, but it's not hypogonadal or anything. Being around 600 is a fine baseline for most people but you can still get plenty done if your t isn't optimal.
I think I'll try Tongkat Ali to get a little boost anyway
It seems really strange for me that people go and get this stuff tested. I haven't even seen a doctor in 20 years.
I don't trust the medical and pharma israelite but no doctor and especially blood work in 20 years is moronic
>but no doctor and especially blood work in 20 years is moronic
No it is not. No reason to look for something if you're feeling well. Overdiagnosis is a thing.
>no doctor and especially blood work in 20 years is moronic
how has humanity ever survived for thousands of years without some quack telling you how many mg of Vitamin G you have in your blood
get a lipid profile done at least
getting my first test this thursday. I want to know how low it is
2400ng/dl
about 400 before my testicle surgery
650+ afterwards
Varicocele are no joke
I have one of these. How was the recovery? How long did you have to keep from lifting?
I had stage 3+ on both nuts so your mileage may vary.

How do I self diagnose varicocele?
Also how the frick do I increase test naturally?
>broke up with toxic ex

>body fat at 15%
Get it a bit lower
>self diagnose varicocele
You can't solve it yourself so diagnosing would be pointless
>bit lower
How low bro? Pic rel is just now. How much diff in test production is 12% to 15%
Idk I would just not call myself hypogonadic at 15% bf because the fat might be interfering. If it's still low at 12% then there's more likely to be a problem.

If you want to raise test you have to do high test things
Stop overthinking and worrying. None of the other things is going to be fricking up your test other than stress
is correct
>Stop overthinking and worrying
easier said than done
>If you want to raise test you have to do high test things
name them now and im going to do them right NOW. but don't list something im already doing
As a burger, do I just go to the doctor and ask for a blood test to see if I have low test so they can prescribe it to me?
638 ng/dl at age 31
I wish it was higher but I’m just glad I’m 117 points above average for my age. A lot of guys are walking around with half the testosterone I have.
900 ng/dl
Guys drugs are bad
Goku never took drugs and I bet he’s stronger than all of you
Kek.. what do you think Korin's putting in those senzu beans?
Not me. I could easily beat up Goku.

Is 300 at 24 normal? Doctor says its low and would medicate me but Im still young
>Is 300 at 24 normal
no
Mine. My T level proves that trans and femboys are the true chads.
daily reminder that if you aren't addicted to the internet you never would have become 'trans'
enjoy your technologically induced mental illness
hey that’s rude man
I am natty. This was 2 months ago. I am awaiting my results for free and total test this time.
A total test score is worthless without SHBG and albumin assays to go along with it, you might have very low free test.
That's why I am awaiting the free test results.
