    My perspective is a little different than GDevine. I feel TRT is something to be avoided. Not embraced. Your T levels are not terrible. They are more than twice what mine were when i went on. You are 25, and I agree with your doctor.

    I believe TRT really should be thought of as something to consider when you get older and your t levels really begin to decline and it causes problems in your life. Or it should be considered when your younger AND your T levels are very low and this is causing problems in your life.

    Your T levels are "In Range" and therefore TRT is very premature for you

    Taking testosterone to "fine tune" your hormone levels at your age is a bad idea.

    Why don't you spend some time and explain why YOU think you need exogeneous testosterone, and maybe we can come up with some ideas.

    I'm right with you on this.

    Those T levels are far from abysmal, and I think MOST people can expect to bring that level up naturally with good nutrition and lifestyle and a few key supplements, namely vitamin D.

    And this is coming from someone only a few years older and levels less than half of yours. I really think I will try coming off TRT in the next year.

    I say try to maximize what you can THEN use TRT as a last resort... given your age and apparent general HPTA health.
