Questions for the Experts
Just some questions on my thinking and logic. Answer the ones you know:
1) I had a total testosterone level of 435 at age 34 and felt like crap. Even though 435 is higher than most here, its possible that for me, 435 is extremely low, right?
2) Lets say in my 20's my natural T level was "900" consistently. And now I am at 435. For me, I would probably notice that change and for me, it would be dramatic, correct?
3) Do I want to get my levels back to 900, or is that level probably too high?
4) How do I determine what level I want to get to and stay at? Just how I feel?
5) Are there indicators for having gone too high? Or is it all based on numbers.
6) Is the philosophy just to "up" it enough to feel better? As little as possible?
7) Where do you guys go to get repeated tests done if you have to pay out of pocket? LEF offers a male hormone panel here:
8) How do you test something that changes drastically throughout the day? I've heard you should always get tested 1st thing in the morning when its highest. I've also heard you should do it late afternoon when its lowest. Which is correct?
9) I was on testogel (self diagnosed and administered) for a week and discontinued it about 7 days ago. How long do I need to wait so that I know the numbers are the "real me" ? Only used it for 7 days...
10) Vague question: If it takes me 3-4 days just to get over-all horny after sex, and my ejaculate volume is 1/4 of what it was at age 23, is that an indicator that something is wrong, or am I just a normal 36 year old ... ?
Thanks everyone. I know some of these questions have been addressed elsewhere, but I wanted to get some reiteration for confirmation.
