Hi all. After almost 5 years, 7 doctors and blood tests that keep coming back with very low T numbers, I'm tired of doctors who refuse to help and throw out other things that are nothing but symptoms of my low T. Just looking for help. I'm about at the end of my patience level and hate feeling this way for so long without any backing by the medical quacks.
 
Welcome to Excelmale. Sadly, your tale isn't unique...most of us encountered terrible medical care before finding a doctor who could help us achieve success on TRT. But success is possible. If you care to offer any background on your situation a good discussion usually results. We can offer referrals to qualified doctors, though it should be noted they typically practice on a fee-for-service model. Let us know where things stand.
 
Well I'm turning 50 next week. Two separate blood work have my free test at 39.1 and total test at 170. My SHGB is 22. But all the doctors say it's cause of my weight or it's normal.
 
I would look into using one of our advertisers, Prime Body or Defy Medical. I've been using Defy for over 2 1/2 years. I live in Wisconsin and they are in Florida, I do everything over the phone and internet.

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
