2 years back I was prescribed a testosterone gel in UK for my low t levels of 6.2 at the age of 38 I am now 40 and kinda regretting the decision. It appears they think it's secondary hypogonadism but had no final say and now exloping the possibility of children..... I had sperm test done which...

Under NHS trt which as you can imagine isn't the best ! So looking to find out private trt doctors and estrogen sensitive tests in the UK preferably south west

I have read they are pretty harsh ! So I don't think I would get tempted unless I had full on c cups hanging there !!

I've also suffered stomach issues for the past month getting worse ! Maybe unrelated but hell I don't feel well and I feel like I am just moaning about trt ! I have had some great benefits from it too !

Is what I am saying is I don't know . Endo won't check estrogen or anything else unless he feels he needs to ! Before trt my estrogen was up the upper end with low T but that was not a sensitive test ! I have suffered slight gyno before and still have a small lump under 1 nipple. I don't want to...

No as I am in the UK and as far as I know they don't do it here !

A few people have suggested low estrogen ! I have not touched any AIs so not sure why it would have gone low on trt ? Also don't understand why I can't put weight on ! Muscle or fat ! Stronger in the gym but list a few lbs !

Thanks for the reply. How do I go about this without the endo doing it ??

It's just on a letter with no reference ! I could probably get a print out ! It's in the UK if that helps ?

Blood test results back in ! Taken 2 hours after 4 pumps of tostran TESTOSTERONE 19.5 FREE ANDROGENS 69.6 HAEMOGLOBIN 154 PSA 84 The testosterone looks ok to me but still not feeling all the benefits! I felt more confident in myself with natty levels of 10 ! I asked for estrogen to be...

I don't think I have ever had thyroid checked !! So the sex hormones basically ?

Really does help my sleep !! But have read it can lower estrogen ! Not sure how good the source was but could be good or bad for some !

Just incase anyone wants to know ! My symptoms have eased loads over the last week or so ! The anxiety had got real bad but now nearly all gone !! I started Zma again as it helps me sleep ! Maybe coincidence ! But it's eased since then ! So was it low E2 ? Anxious, sensitive nipples ( not too...

Like you said my T is low ! If it was higher I am sure it would counteract any negative feelings I am getting . Another thing I have noticed if real shortness of breath ! Will get my blood pressure checked and just hold tight I guess for blood work although I feel the endo is not that clued up...

Unfortunately for me that's not really an option :-/

No they are not :-/

The ones I highlighted in red are the main symptoms I get from what you describe. Bloods showed I was dehydrated, I get hot in bed and sweat but I have always done that ! Since TRT my weight has not changed ! which suggests no water retention although sometimes my hands feel swollen when I grip...

I am not too hairy but no apply a small amount of gel to scrotum once a week , can't see that it's converting to too much dht. It's interesting you say about low estrogen though ! Something I haven't thought about but not sure I have the symptoms for that . More along the lines of high estrogen...

Recently changed from testogel to tostran as I was getting general anxiety. First week was good but now the anxiety is back very strong ! Was on one sachet of testogel but found halfing the dose helped my anxiety.now on 4 pumps of tostran which gives me a little less testosterone but still...

On our first meet we did discuss injection. It's what I would prefer but I am open to letting him try ! I went from natural 8.6 tov10.1 with testogel then down to 8.2. last bloods said 27 but that was taken 2 hours after application in same area gel was so I am not counting that ! He has asked...

I have used the search button but to no avail Current protocol is 1 sachet of testogel a day it's not really been working out to great so endo suggests switching to tostran 4 pumps a day which is a lower dose than the testogel Just looking for people's feedback on the two or studies etc etc...

I didn't plan that ! I applied gel to left arm and got bloods from right arm but she messed it up and took from left arm ! Do I ask to retest ?

Results back in ! 2 hours after 1 sachet of testogel my bloods cameback at 27 !!! This is why he wants me to change to tostran as I can have a slightly lower dose ! So..........Has the gel being on my skin which is pretty much where blood test was taken made the results higher ? Or if that's...

Since last posting I halfed my dose and the lightheadedness and anxiety subsided loads ! On Tuesday the endo had ask for another blood test 2 hours after application. So the Saturday before I went back on 1 full sachet a day. Had bloods done Tuesday and endo called to say he has wrote to me the...

I stopped applying to scrotum a week back as I thought I better to stop anything I started when I got the side effects ! I just read that high dht can over stimulate the cns cause anxiety?? Not sure how true that is though UK Unfortunately my endo wants me to continue with the gel !

I stopped applying to scrotum a week ago as I thought it's best to stop anything I had changed. After a bit more reading high dht might over stimulate the CNS which may cause anxiety! Not sure how concrete that statement is but I will look into it more I am in the UK stupidly I was hoping if...

Thanks for taking the time to read ! I stopped rubbing gel on scrotum ! The high libido is not an issue ! In fact I like it !! It's the anxiety that's getting to me ! I have no idea how to do an estrogen sensitive test ! Nor the money to do that private I doubt ! Obviously I want my test to be...

So I asked for blood tests after being on a bodybuilding forum and reading lots about lack of energy in relation to low testosterone. I had low libido. very poor energy to the point of being fatigued ! lack of motivation. hard to get and maintain erections. feeling low and social anxiety ! here...
