[QUOTE="nocapistrano, post: 245393, member: 44998"] I recently got my bloodwork done and the results show low, but not too low test levels and it's got me on the fence about whether trt is a good option or not. Results: T: 370 ng/dl on a scale of 264-916 Free T: 12.4 pg/ml on a scale of 9.3-26.5 LH: 2.6 mIU/ML on a scale of 1.7-8.6 SHBG: 21.3 on a scale of 16.5-55.9 Let me know if anything else that may have been tested is applicable and I can provide it my symptoms are: - fatigue. My wife says that it's like I'm incapable of getting out of bed even after a full 8 hours and even on days with good sleep I am pretty tired all day. - brain fog. I have a lot of trouble concentrating throughout the day. - trouble falling asleep. I'm talking between 1-3 hrs to fall asleep. 1 hour if I am not watching a bunch of TV before bed, 3 if heavy screen time. I can usually still get good sleep if I'm smart about my morning schedule, but this is still a problem - sexually, nothing too alarming but all these metrics have gone down over the years which seems a bit odd at my age. - low motivation. I have in the last few years made improvements to my lifestyle which has helped a bit: - weight lifting 3-4 times a week pretty consistently for about a year and a half. I and my wife have noticed that I have made noticeable muscle gains but still experience the symptoms described above. - high protein diet. - going to bed earlier - better diet. I eat almost exclusively homemade food, good quality ingredients, high fat, high protein. - stopped smoking weed entirely My concern is that my levels aren't exceptionally low so it may not be the cause of all these issues and it may be a mistake to commit to lifelong treatment. Although, if this helped with even just the fatigue (though brain fog would be nice too), I think my quality of life would be greatly improved. [/QUOTE]
