This is first time I have posted. Have test from when I first had problems in 2000 and was found to have low T. Put on T injections every 3 weeks. Help for a while but never as much as I thought it should.
Stess and other health problems got my wife looking for what was going on. Am now wondering if something else was causing my low T to start with. GP never did any additional test as he said it was not necessary.
I will post orginal test from 2000 first and then present 2007 tests I finally managed to have done.

I will be going over these tests tomorrow afternoon with Endo any comments for help would be much appreciated.
Additional Info:
In the spring I switched to weekly injections do them myself. Started at 0.5 mls of 200mg T, did not help ED problems much finally increased to 0.7 but only for 3 weeks and things go worse. Started getting anixety and very depressed.
Decreased dosage back to 0.5 then found out the Estradiol was high and decreased T down to 0.4 for and then to 0.3 T which is where I am now. I am doing a bit better.
I inject on Fridays, and by Monday & Tuesdays I am a mess. This week only Monday was bad, by Tuesday I was ok sort of. By Wednesday I am much better, still not good. Just got some DIM and started to take it to try and help situation.
Thanks Mort1
