    Candidate for HRT?

    Hello, I'm a 28 year old male, 200 lbs, around 21% bf. I recently realized that a lot of the symptoms (listed below) I've been feeling for the last few years may be explained by low T. I went to my doctor and convinced him to run some lab tests. He said I "was in normal ranges". Went to a urologist who said the same thing. So I came here for an expert opinion.

    Major symptoms:
    -Constant fatigue despite sleeping 8-9 hours a night
    -Persistently elevated levels of anxiety even when everything is going fine

    Lab1:
    Testosterone Total: 305 ng/dl (241-827)
    Cholesterol Total: 181 mg/dl (125-200)
    HDL: 56 mg/ld (>40)
    Triglycerides: 81 (<150)
    LDL: 109 (<130)

    Lab2:
    Testosterone: 341 ng/dl (160-726)
    SHBG: 15.5nmol/L (13-71)
    E2: 23.2 pg/mL (0-56)
    FSH: 2.4 miU/mL (.7-11.1)
    LH: 1.3 ng/mL (0.8-7.6)
    PRL: 4.9 ng/mL (2.5-17)
    Percent Free T: 3.28%
    Free T: 11.17ng/dL

    Brother, find you an A4M doctor in your area and they will fix you right up. Your t levels are low. A good doc will see that. Google a4m and use the websites search engine 4 a doc in your area.

    Or you could just contact the board sponsor. Your levels are low.

    Yes, that is who I am with but it has only been a few weeks. I had to travel but they reimbursed very quickly and travelers only have to have a face to face with doctor once a year.


    They are straight forward with price and as far as I can tell 100% legit. Second payment is not made to them until 33 days after your doctor visit so any time you are waiting for bloodwork or an appt. does not cost you on the monthly fee basically.

    Check them out or get on A4M & find a Dr in your area. If I didn't have a good Dr now that takes my insurance I would try LowT & see if I liked them.

    Good luck on the Dr search.

    Hey guys got an update. I called LowT.com and they said that while my #'s are bad it would be hard for them to diagnosed me with andropause because of my age and therefor they wouldn't be able to treat me. He recommended that I go see an endocrinologist to try to determine why my T is low. So the search continues I'm going to try A4M.

    hey man been having the same issues im 29 and my level were 300 in the morning and 294 in the afternoon. I started HRT at a local facility that specilaised in only HRT and they hooked me right up. This is only my 4th week but have notived my anxiety has went down but im monitoring to make sure its not the placebo effect. I continually have my family tell me now to be on it but i feel like i know my body better than most. also the HRT place wanted to place a lot of pellets in me at first but i asked to start out slow. they wanted my levels at 800-1200 which seemed absurd i was just looking for like 600 lol, but may load up next round. will post labs in a week

    Hey man. Great to hear that your treatment is going well. The reduction in anxiety sounds awesome. I would be over joyed with 600 myself. What treatment method are currently you on (pellets, patch, injection?). And what state are you in? (just on the off chance your doc is somewhere around me)

    Im in TN and I am currently doing the pellet method which I like because I dont have to give a shot once a week and your body pulls from the pellets as your body needs them plus they are complete biogentic which is suppose to be a lot better for you
