Pre-First-Cycle Blood Test Results - LOW T; HIGH IGF-1 Concern??!!
So I just got my results back from my LabCorp blood work... everything is within the normal ranges EXCEPT:
BUN 22 HIGH (normal range 6-20 mg/dL)
BUN/Creatinine Ratio 26 HIGH (normal range 8-19)
Testosterone, Serum 269 LOW (normal range 348-1197 ng/dL)
Insulin-Like Growth Factor I 270 HIGH (normal range 88-246 ng/mL)
I am 33 years old... and am preparing to do my first cycle... just waiting on my second package (should be any day [hopefully])...
I'm not too worried about the BUN results as I have learned that the elevated results could be from a high protein diet, which I'm on... but what does have me worried is the LOW TEST... should I be seeing a doctor about that? or not worry about it because I am about to remedy the situation anyways? Should I consider uping the dose?
What about the high IGF-1? What info I can find seems awfully vague... perhaps a pituitary gland issue?
I'm really trying to do this right... so any veteran insight would be greatly appreciated!

Yea man at your age that total T is clearly not good and will only hinder recovery and make it worse down the road if you hop on cycle.. See your doc first to try and get those levels up a little bit and then re asses where you stand. Wouldn't be concerned with the IGF-1
If your planning on starting on AAS regardless, you mine as well do it under the supervision of a doctor.
What's better than having a MD monitor your cycle and prescribe you that yummy pharma test?
Of course when he sees your test up over 1500 cause your banging an assload of UGL he may get concerened...
Bro, at 33 you need to get some medical advice from someone competent to advise you for the low T. A family doctor may not be enough, see an endocrinologist. Your IGF-1 is only slightly high which indicates you are producing a little more growth hormone than average. Again, an endo would be the one to comment on that. In any case I would not recommend starting a steroid protocol without seeing a doc first.
I wouldn't start no cycle until you see a doc. Your test is low bro. If you jump on cycle you are low as it is to recover.
