This is my first time running a cycle and this is my lab work. Test is low as you can see but everything else looks good I think. Please advise me on your opinions! I'm 44 years old btw.

Plus 1 for getting bloods. What time of the day did you get these? You may be a candidate for TRT at the ripe age of 44. I couldn't begin to tell you whether you should or shouldn't just that it may be worth speaking with your doc or endo about it.
I did this at about 9am. I do have all the gear set to run at least one cycle and have my heart set on it but I guess I should consider speaking to someone. Not sure. And thanks for the +1. Just want to make sure everything is done to avoid any issues and blood work was definitely at the top of that list. I know this sounds stupid but is low test a contraindication to running a cycle? I always read people saying to young guys not to do it until they are in their 30's so figured 44 would be within range of doing it if you're gonna do it.
I would speak with a doc before you cycle. If you end up a TRT patient then your doc will stabilize your levels and then you could cycle and avoid PCT. it's up to you bud.
Send friend request! Man, so much to learn. I've been researching for a few months and am curious why this would be. So if I get TRT and the doctor stabilizes the levels and I'm back to normal THEN I can cycle additional test and avoid the PCT or are you saying that the doc would give me what I needed to get back to normal and since it isn't a super high test level I wouldn't need pct? Sorry. I guess I knew enough but now I'm thinking I need to get more info under my belt.
If your doc gets your levels up, it will be with exogenous testosterone. Meaning, you will be suppressing your natural production. TRT = testosterone replacement therapy. Since you'll be getting your test from an external source you would not need to go through PCT. PCT (or post cycle therapy) is done to regain natural production of testosterone. Keep in mind, being a TRT patient can be a lifetime commitment to injecting testosterone to maintain normal function. This is why I couldn't begin to tell you that it's what you need to do as the commitment is strictly a personal decision. I hope this information helps.
Brothah, really appreciate all the time you have spent helping me out. I'm a bit disappointed that very few are wanting to chime in on this since I'm a noob and admit to it. In any event, thanks a bunch!
Lots of people are reading bro, but alloneword's advice is spot on man. Not much we can add to it besides +1 on getting the labwork done.
Thanks Ice! Wanted to do it right. I have the urge to try the 25mg dbol though. Its a very strong urge. LOL
Hey bro. Did you get a lipid panel? What is your good and bad cholesterol looking like? I haven't run a cycle, just curious, but I know that if it's high you run some risks using gear.
Honestly I don't know. I asked for advice on what blood test to run and this is the one. Not sure if I want to run back and get another blood drawn. I may wait for the mid cycle blood test to reevaluate.
Just something to definitely keep an eye on as well brotha
Thanks bro!
I like to consider myself a typical latin with a bit of machismo so seeing that Low testosterone is really bugging me.
