I am a 20 yr old and I have a low test score of 268 ng/dl. Doctor asked me if I was on any supplements, and I told her I regularly take creatine, whey protein, multi vitamins and fish oil. She asked to me to stop taking all of them for 2 weeks and come back and retake a blood test. I did, and my T levels were still low. My doctor prescribed me testosterone. I called the cvs pharmacy for the name of the drug and they just said 'testosterone'. She faxed over the order form for the prescription after she got the results of my blood test, so I never had a physical copy of the prescription. It's an injection that I'm supposed to take once every 2 weeks. A few questions for you all:
1. From what i know about HRT, it is for life. My doctor is swearing that I will NOT be on this for life and it is just a temporary treatment until my T levels return to normal. What do you all think of that?
2. My doctor hasn't been too thorough with the testing. She prescribed me testosterone after only my first blood test. I saw on the blood order form that she was testing this as hypogandasim. What are the negative side effects of taking this testosterone if my problem is NOT diagnosed correctly?
3. I am not symptomatic of low test. I workout 5 days a week with high intensity, I have no problem sexually, and I do not feel depressed. Is it still normal to have low T scores if one does not show the symptoms?
Thanks in advance for the help guys. I really don't know what to do here and could use some advice. I know testosterone is a serious drug.
Note: I have never cycled on any type of steroid or growth hormone. Only things I have ever taken are creatine, whey protein, fish oil, and multi vitamins
