    If you get put on hrt than you have nothig to worry about regarding cycling goes effecting your test but I would take direction from your doctor he may be able to bring your natural test back up. Getting a full blood panel done will help see where the problem is so he can try and solve the issue before he goes down the route of Test therapy

    I just went into my doc this morning. He says those are normal levels. I tried to politely inform him otherwise, and it ended in me leaving pissed off. He's just trying to shove antidepressants down my throat. Great!

    Some (alot) of docs just do not have the education in HRT/TRT and only see the stigma that is associated with it. Keep searching...there are good progressive docs out there.

    That sucks. You need to find a endocrinologist that works with trt. I dont go to a clinic but a descent amount of research on my dr before i picked one
    I agree with trying to get yourself to function normally before trt for life. They may be able to restart your system.
    If people can't tell your on steroids then your doing them wrong

    I was pretty sorely disappointed when I heard his response. The nurse seemed sympathetic, but the dr saw that I had been on antidepressants in the past. He says, I think you're just depressed. Depression can cause all of this. "...I have low T. Depression does not cause low T. Low T causes depression." - - - - "You don't have low T." - - "Look at these charts I brought you for healthy test levels based on age." "Oh, you got that on the internet. There's lots of bs information out there and i havent been to that website."

    SERIOUSLY!?

    I don't have health insurance, and am paying for this on a credit card...so the clinic was my first choice. I am having a hard time finding a dr in the area that works with trt. I explained to him that I don't think TRT is necessarily the solution, but he wont even agree that I have lot T!
    Shit, there could be a pituitary tumor causing this and he just wants to throw me back on zombie medication!

    Looks like i'll have to start traveling to seattle...fml!
