Is it possible to have abnormal levels at my age? I feel tired, depressed, decreased sex drive, all of the symptoms. When i am on cycle which I havent been in a while I feel soooo much better.

Would a little more estrogen blocker maybe help someone my age? Maybe my levels are low due to post cycle. I took my PCT... and last cycle was toward first of this year.
 
It's quite possible that you may have low test levels in your 20's or even younger without ever touching roids.
 
i am gonna get tested... i swear i have all the symptoms... i am even starting to get aches and pains.... maybe its cuz i am getting older... i dunno
 
Go to a TRT specialist, many MD's don't even know what numbers to look for. You can have a very high total test level, but if your free test level is low your fucked.
 
yes, and lifts is right about the free levels being more important for HRT considerations than total test.
hCG therapy made me feel great
 
I could be anything....I went on this diet VJ gave me and i started to feel like that so i blamed it on 10000 different things

Turns out i guess im just gettin a bit older and now drink coffee for the first time in my life, i feel fine again

The Uro's are the ones to see in my area as well.
 
i talked to the people there they said they treat numerous people my age for deficiencies.

If in fact I do have a condition the options seem to be the gel, patch, or injections. Are all of these methods effective? (not from a bodybuilding standpoint). But it seems the gels would be less effective than the injections? I would prefer injections. But when talking to a doctor would he let me have the vial and possible self administer them? I just dont want to turn this into a doctor visit every couple of weeks or a money pit.

i use a home town mom and pop pharmacy and they give my trt injections for free since im a customer.thats the only way i could get out of the dr visit.also i you have a family member / friend whos a Rn you might get away with it.
dont be surprised if he wants all injects inhouse untill he gets your dose adjusted.

Everyone that I know who gets TRT injections have one appointment with the doctor's nurse who teaches you how to inject, then you get your script and are on your own until a three or six month follow up visit.
 
not being old you might have a lot of trouble finding a trt doc even if you need it. Make sure you have a backup doc or something lined up. Most of the docs i talked to didn't listen to any logic or even published papers from the endocrine society on trt and just said i was fine (i'm assuming this was based on them being scared of treating somebody in their earlier 20's who was a competitive athlete).

Endo's seem shitty to me and just wan to give you thyroid meds from whatever company gave them all the stuff laying around their office with their logo on it. The one endo i found who was willing to treat me wouldn't allow self injections because it was "dangerous" and they'd "lost" patients in the past. I argued with them for days, but they wanted to charge out the ass and wouldn't have it any other way. (they wanted to charge so much per shot that i could buy 20 weeks of UG for the same price)

Urologists should know what's up but i went one who was a "TRT specialist" and when i asked him about trt i got the "i don't do ANY of that" answer. Pure bs since i asked them straight up on the phone before going in if they do that.

I guess the point of my post is to know what you are looking for and don't settle for the BS that docs give you. Have back up plans, questions to ask and be patient because it might not be easy to fine somebody who isn't a shithead.

Bro I will be 25 in less than 2 months and my test levels are already shot - for me it was a specific reason that caused it - but it's certainly possible. Get it looked at and best of luck !
 
lol you old bastard. I would say maybe your depressed? But after being on anti-d's for a year or two those dont seem to do much good. It does suck if your young and had low test issues.

Like already mentioned if youre anywhere near athletic theyll probly freak out and make it alot harder for you Id bet. BUT then again there have been alot of tv commercials for "low T" treatment lately, so maybe people are finally pulling their heads out of their asses on this
 
Have you tried anything natural yet to increase test levels?

Increase saturated fat from meats/eggs, longjack, heavy squating, 25+g's fish oil ed, etc.

Personally I would take 250mg test ew.

Good luck bro
