A weird plea for help

Ok ... I realize this is somewhat off topic, but I don't know where else to turn for advice.

I am uninterested in the anabolic effect of steroids because I am not a bodybuilder, I am interested in the androgenic effect. I am experiencing symptoms of testosterone deficiency, so my doctor ordered a test of total testosterone. It came back with a figure of 307 ng/dl, which according to all my research is incredibly low for someone my age (I'm 30). My doctor, however, says I am "within range" and won't prescribe me anything for it. My research says I should be between 350-1100 ng/dl, and frankly, I'd rather be midrange than on the low end of the range anyway. 307 seems completely unacceptable.

Which is why I come to you guys. Is it possible to use the anabolic steroids as a hormone replacement therapy? I would obviously use less, but how much less? Does anyone have any idea about how much of an anabolic steroid one would have to use to increase one's testosterone levels by about 300-400 points? And what would be the best way to administer it if so? I would obviously want a long acting form so I have to inject myself as rarely as possible.

Thanks in advance

Read up on Sustanon , I know it was designed to be a superior HRT. Not saying its the best idea, just saying the article on it could give you some insight to some of the answers you seek. Idk about the whole anabolic /androgenic thing though, maybe someone else will know.

Go to a different endocrinologist.

Your natty test levels need to be taken first thing in the morning to be accurate.

Every lab uses different values and to be 100% honest with you 300's is fine for natural test. If you want to be perscribed your best bet would be to crash a cycle with out PCT and get your levels pulled but that would just be dumb....But it would work...

I wouldn't encourage crashing without a PCT, as it could do more damage than just lowering his natty test.
