Younger male, with low T. What are my options?

[TwistedDrum5]

I'm 28 years old, and just got two blood tests, a week apart.

First one came back 318 ng/dL, the second was 355 ng/dL. When they tested bio available I was 222.

They've tested bone density, thyroid, and pituitary. All were kind of expensive, but they insisted it be checked. Then after those all come back clear, they tested my bio available, and said I was all good.

Really? Why would you run all of the tests, expensive tests, instead of just looking at my bio available, if that's all that mattered? Why run all of the tests, if my testosterone was fine to begin with?

Less energy, less libido, hard time gaining weight, including muscle. I need something.

However, I'm 28, married, and we don't have kids yet. We want to keep the possibility of kids open, and personally I would rather not go on a treatment that is going to cost me the rest of my life. Do I have any options? I'd discuss with my doc, but they have all been unwilling to help, and have just told me I'm fine.

I lift heavy, three times a week, and eat relatively healthy. I'm 5'8 140lbs with lower body fat. I am shifting my diet a bit, and attempting to work out more, but its hard with low energy and motivation.

Edit: The above was all from a urologist, and an endo.

The internet doctor in me says Clomid. The common sense in me says make an appointment with a specialist. An endocrinologist or Urologist.

Sorry, I should start over a bit. I took blood tests, and did all of the "expensive" tests a year and a half ago. After all of the expensive tests, I was sent to an endo. He said my bio-avail was good, and that's where it ended.

Last month I got fed up again with my situation, and went back to the urologist. And after one more blood test he said I was good. The results above are from those tests.

Your TT and BioT are low-ish. Without LH, FT or E2, I cannot begin to guess why.

So tell us something you do know.
Prescription Drug history (DHT blockers, Opiates, etc.)?
Physical injuries, (big head or little head)?
AAS or Pro Hormones?
(edit) PHYTOESTROGENS (soy, ginseng, etc.)?
What physical size are your siblings, parents, grand parents?

You can order your own blood tests online. Inexpensively.

Have you tested your sperm in regards to kid thing... I'm in similar boat with new wife I have kids already heck I got my ex knocked up while I was on a quad stack and when she was delivering I scored dbol at hospital in parking lot later that day... Anyhow I've always taken things respectively and never abused. Right now I'm hoping to raise mine with a western med approach and I am sure I can still have kids as I had mine tested

I'm waiting on a call back for my LH/FT and or E2 levels.

No prescription drugs.
No injuries
PRO hormones are as follows:

First round was D-bol (or what I was told was d-bol) when I was around 21 (I know I know). PCT was Nolvadex(sp?). I can tell you that I don't think this caused any shut down because I deployed shortly after, and continued to make some good gains while overseas.

Second round was around 23/24 and was this:
1andro 2/2/2/2/0
Decavol 2/2/2/2/0
4ad 0/2/2/2/2
arom-x 0/0/0/0/0/2/2/2/2
Nolva 0/0/0/0/0/20mg/20mg/20mg/10mg

I took the AMS Pro Anabolic Growth kit.

No soy or ginseng use, besides energy drinks back in the day. I no longer drink energy drinks.

Grandparents/uncles were larger men (overweight). Dad is average, not stocky. Brother is skinny like me. Moms side is all skinny. But no one works out. When I was working out overseas, and eating junk, I reached a max of 150lbs. Ever since then I can't get anywhere near that. For a month I ate 3500calories (counted) and gained 2lbs. Whenver I drop back to 2000-2500 calories, I sit around 135-140.

Also, thought I should mention, been felt up by two docs, and they both say my balls are healthy size.

I've had my endo do a quick look at my sperm and said I was good.

Androgen Receptor DNA are on the X chromosome, so you get these AR characteristics from your mother.
Which X chromosome you get from her (her mothers or her fathers) is a crap-shoot.

AR may not define how your HPTA produces, but, will determine how sensitive(responsive) your muscle cells are to FT.
