I'm 21 and have been having symptoms of low T. I have had three labs done and total test was as follows: 240, 298, and 340. He though all I needed was cialis (for the sex drive issues). I have been lifting for religiously 3 years and made good progress. I have really been considering doing a low dose barebones test cycle. I'm not looking to be a bodybuilder, I just want to look better and more importantly feel better. The doctor didn't seem to think my test levels were a big deal because he seemed to think I didn't LOOK like I had low test. What do you guys think?
 
If he thinks those levels are ok at your age you need a new doc. Don't start a cycle. Your young n ypu dont wanna mess up yourself any worse. First u need to figure out whats causing low test at 21
 
No cycling history.
Low sex drive and lethargy are the two big ones. I have no drive in general, I'd rather just sit in bed all day (I only lift with pre workout and friends that push me)
But besides that I store fat like a girl (love handles and ass)
 
Go to an endo and have this talk , don't start juice especially when there are other methods you can take to raise your test
 
I agree with joedoubledose, your doctor is following outdated protocol because you're not below the normal low range. Go see an endo try and get your natural levels to return a cycle will just ruin you more and you will feel worse after. Best bet would be to see an endo and get diagnosed to the cause of possible and roll from there.
I had the same symptoms as you when I saw my first doc went to another and ended up with delayed onset hypogonadism... which lead to trt for me 200-400 range I was told can be reversed sometimes so best of luck mab, I'd rather get my natural levels back than pin myself twice a week to feel good.
 
Yeah, I have been to two doctors now and I'm just feeling crazy. But thank you for your responses! I agree with you that I would rather have normal levels naturally than pin to get it. Thank you guys

You need to find out why you have low test. Didn't he run a full hormonal panel? Could be elevated estrogen or prolactin causing your issues.. Balance those and bam.. Test levels jump up.


If your levels are low regardless, I'd be looking into injectable testosterone.

Yes he did
Everything was pretty normal except test
Fsh and lh were low normal (I don't have the tests in front of me but I believe it was like 1.3 or something like that fsh)
Estrodial was high normal 35, 40 was max
Prolactin was good

Seems extremely low for a 21 year old. Do not self-administer. Get a 2nd and 3rd opinion if need be. See an endocrinologist that specializes in HRT.

Awesome you got a full workup and not just a total test level.

My suggestion, see an endo.. Real test is best.
 
The second Doctor I saw was a urologist. I asked why I wasn't referred to a endo and I was told that around here that urologists handle trt because it deals with the prostate
Seemed weird to me

My mother works in urology , they deal with urinary and prostate not with Hpta , no wonder you got screwed , urology does not do TRT . You need to see an endo
