Got Testosterone?

[slybarman]

Just got my numbers back:
T - 314
Free T - 9.2
E2 - 16.7

Should I consider supplemental T?

I’m happy to see my doctor has a new reference range for total T of 229-902. I tried rebooting my natural T taking Let resolution 2.5 a day and CMP . Anastrolole.125 daily. I stopped taking T on July 5th. I’m down to 27 and I can't hack it anymore I'm going to restart now!

Can't be answered by a simple set of numbers per se. Subjective symptoms, variables (e.g., age, bodyfat, meds, exercise, diet, etc, etc) that may explain the low "normal" levels, and so forth. You'd do yourself a huge favor by getting up to speed by reading this thread, and deciding after that. It's an intel dump, but worth it being your well being and TRT being a life time commitment as a rule.

Ok. Didn't realize it was more complicated. Will bookmark the thread to deep dive when time permits.

There's few things less complicated in human physiology than hormones, putting hormones into your body without being informed, is a very bad idea. Yes, some - who should know better either due to ignorance, greed, or both - will treat it as a simple matter, but that's a road paved with problems.

Im 21... is there any chance of me having low test levels?

Is your name Anderson Cooper?

Ha! F You! =). I've been a mess the past month. It was 41 last month! 110 two months ago. My E is finally good! My job of 21 years is going away on January 1st. I have a bunch of applications out there. I've been very emotional the last three weeks. I've had insomnia. That's no fun. I went to the VA yesterday to establish my health care. I loose mine in a few months. I met with my new Doc and asked about Alpha-Stim. http://www.alpha-stim.com/2015/02/ve...-chronic-pain/

He said he'd look into it. I'd heard from Dakota Meyer on FRI and a bunch of Google searches that it's an option at the VA. I don't want to take news for it. I heard it's only been approved for pain. I have that covered too. A
I started Crossfit three weeks ago. I'm going to stick with it for at least six months and then reevaluate it. I like most of it so far.

Oops I thought you called me Anderson Cooper. If you think your T is low have it checked.

In the absence of some underlying pathology, it's unlikely. Testosterone levels generally peak around age 21, begin to decline about 1% per year after age 30. Just ask your doctor to check it.

Holy ****ing necro quote... that original post is 7 years old. To answer the question, though, no I did not have low t at the time. I got tested and my levels were in the 1400 range. Last year, however, I did come up low on multiple blood panels over several months. My diet has always been healthy and I live as healthy a lifestyle as a firefighter can (screwed up sleep patterns) and thus made a decision to go on TRT.
