Doctor said low t is not my problem and to follow up with primary care provider to find out what's really wrong with me. 377 at 20 is awfully low though right?

[kelkel]

Yes, it's low.
Any recent cycles? Pro-hormones?
Your LH/FSH are functioning fine but your testicals are not responding in kind.
Any testicular injuries or varicoceles, etc.?

i used prohormones about a year and a half ago. I ran 2 cycles of superdrol without proper pct. I haven't got an ultrasound on my testicles yet but i deffintely need to get that done. My test was 365 before any pro-hormone use and doctors told me i was fine. I was referred to a endo and he basically just said your testosterone is fine.

[kelkel]

Ok. Well, your doctors are wrong. That level's not fine at any age, imho. Find a better doctor, maybe a Uro, get the MRI and get to the bottom of this. An HCG stimulation test may be prudent as well. First just find a competent doc who realizes you are not just a number on a scale.

yeah i went to a uro who referred me to the endo. The uro did a physical exam and prescribed an ultrasound. The endo even made a statement that at 20 you should be around 700-800 then when the blood work came back he was like your testesterone is fine. You just can't win sometimes.

[kelkel]

That sucks. You can win, just keep pushing for the right doctor. Don't give up, you're too young. Try and find some specialists in your area or drive/fly if you have to. Call and relate your issue to office staff and see if the doctor will pursue it with you so as not to waste an appt just to get the same answer. I don't know where you're at or even if you're in the states but you could consider Doc's like Crisler, Shippen, Gorden, etc.

You only get one pair of nuts, take care of them.

I'm in virginia hampton roads

[kelkel]

Hmm. Don't know anyone in that area personally but maybe others can chime in? If not, Crisler's in Michigan, Shippen in PA, brain lock on Gordon at the moment. Actually if you have a willing doctor he can interface with Crisler for a fee to help with your case. Check out his web site.

how long would the wait be to get into dr. shippen? I would be willing to drive the 5 hours

I had a bloodtest on Tuesday for Diabetes and HIV - i should of got my cholesterol checked as well as other things

[kelkel]

No clue. Call his office on Monday and see what he can do ahead of time before you make the drive. Great move! I believe with Crisler you only have to see him in person once. After that appts can be virtual.

erection problems since i was probaly 13, lack of sex drive, fatigued, anxiety. and yes i have had these symptoms a long time i think the prohormones made them worse for a little while but i think i'm back to the way i was before them

definitely go for the ultrasound testes first.

and follow everything Kel said

[uvafan4life2]

i'm guessing a restart will not work if it's your testicles causing the problem right?

[kelkel]

Serms aren't what you need. Your pituitary is working fine.
