ya i know, but your question implied that i said it had nothing to do with it. Nowhere in my post did i say it had nothing to do with it. It does affect it, but obviously not as directly as everyone thinks. I know quite a few patients on HRT that grow plenty of facial hair. I myself at 25 have to shave twice a day and my test levels are below the normal range, not just at the bottom of normal range. Testosterone isn't the only hormone effecting puberty.

yes i agree....and the example you give with shaving twice a day...you did this before TRT? that is a perfect example then...if you are/were low T and shave twice a day...i wonder what hormone causes this?
all good bro

I've never been on HRT. The doctor i'm interning with is an internal medicine doctor. Even at my low levels he said it wasn't something to worry about. My cholesterol was very low and hormones are produced from cholesterol therefore it would affect all my hormone levels. I was consistently low on most of my hormones so we adjusted diet to change my cholesterol levels. I haven't had my blood work rechecked yet but i feel better.


J, the thing is you started late in puberty. Actually not late, you started about normal. 16 years old isn't really late in the game. Because of this you will continue to grow. Puberty is approximately a decade of your life. You're right in the middle of it. You could have tons of growing left to do. You're technically 4 years into your puberty. If another person starts at 13 then they would be 17 compared to your 20.

Also, the pituitary glad is mostly responsible for puberty and hormone control. It works in conjunction with the hypothalamus. Possibly discuss some things with a doctor that specializes in teen development or hormones. I would put money on a problem with the pituitary gland before i would low test. You've already had test checked and you've proven you can make good gains and growth. Before doing anything i would probably wait out the puberty and see what happens when the hormones balance out.
