Well, I went to see a urologist and he said he wouldn't prescribe me TRT unless I took more blood test. Here are the results from blood work that was taken 01-17-09:

FSH 4.3 range is 1.6-8.0 mIU/mL
LH 3.8 range is 1.5-9.3 mIU/mL
PROLACTIN 6.7 range is 2.8-18.0 ng/mL
ESTRADIOL <32 range is <=54 pg/mL
CORTISOL, TOTAL, SERUM 12.7 range is AM 4.0-22.0 mcg/dL PM 3.0-17.0 mcg/dL
SEX HORMONE BINDING GLOB 16 range is 7-49 nmol/L
TESTOSTERONE, TOTAL 509 range is 260-1000ng/dL
TESTOSTERONE, %, FREE 2.0 range is 1.0-2.7 percent
TESTOSTERONE, FREE 101.7 range is 50.0-210.0 pg/mL

The first blood work I had taken on 12-23-08 said:

TESTOSTERONE, TOTAL 236 range is 260-1000ng/dL
TESTOSTERONE, %, FREE 1.8 range is 1.0-2.7 percent
TESTOSTERONE, FREE 43.4 range is 50.0-210.0 pg/mL

What the hell is going on!!!!!!!! My test was low as hell a month ago and now it's not! And I haven't done anything differently. I'm not scheduled to see my urologist until Thursday January 29. I spoke with my cousin who is a urologist in residency and he said my urologist probably isn't gonna treat me with TRT because my test is not low.

Is there a chance my doc will treat me with TRT or should I start getting worried? Is there a chance he will take the first low testosterone results into consideration? I can't go on feeling like this (weak erections, lethargic, fat, depressed, etc.).

I have a bunch of docs appointments set up with numerous uros and endos and if none of them will help me I plan on seeing a doctor at a wellness center in my area (which will drain my wallet because I will have to pay out of pocket).

What about this question: if I were to go to a wellness center with these test numbers would a wellness doc prescribe me TRT?

Anyone?

Doc probably won't do it with your last test. I would test again and see the endo. Levels can fluctuate up and down. You have higher levels in the morning and lower at night so test later in the day if you can.

same issues bro - find a new endo doc... and bring him articles they dont spend the time researching hrt for men... they prob think you want test to do cycles and abuse it - not get your numbers back to normal

from what i know a good # should be 550 - 800 for men mid 30s who work out vigerously ... i keep tell the docs that is a reasonable number for an adult that needs the test for normal energy levels, well being, and recovery from working out.

good luck
