[QUOTE="GemStater, post: 139518, member: 38410"] Hello Excelmale community. Here's a semi-quick summary of my developing Low T story. I turned 40 last May. Earlier this month I had my annual physical exam at my primary care family practice doctor. I talked with him about my symptoms of being tired, having low ambition, low libido, and fatigue. He put me on the Antidepressant, 150MG Bupropion XL, daily. Since I've heard testosterone starts to decline at age 40, I asked my doctor to order a testosterone test in my blood work, if for nothing else establish a baseline number for future reference. He agreed. Lab work performed by Quest Diagnostics Nichols Valencia Blood draw time: 3:35p.m. [B]Total Testosterone: 324 Free Testosterone: 31.9[/B] My doctor promptly wrote me a perception for Androgel 1.62. I have not picked-up or plan to start using the Androgel. Instead, I have an appointment with a secondary doctor who is known in my area to work with patients undergoing Hormone Replacement Therapy. I've been told this doctor favors pellets as a preferred testosterone delivery system. By contrast, he is treating my 68 year-old father with testosterone cream from our local compounding pharmacy. I have been researching all the different delivery methods for testosterone but have not determined the best one for me at this point? [U]Suggestions with reasons why would be appreciated[/U]. Speaking of my 68 year-old father, here is his recent, natural, testosterone numbers [U]prior[/U] to starting his testosterone cream: [B]Total Testosterone: 490 Free Testosterone: 43.8[/B] Wonderful! I have lower testosterone than a 68 year-old. Go figure!?!? [B] [/B] Some other information regarding my body, build, activity, habits. Weight: 170 lbs. Height: 5' 9" I work in manufacturing and am on my feet moving around during a 10-hour shift, four days a week. I work-out, pump-iron three days a week. I eat mostly healthy; meats, fresh fruits, vegetables, salads, ets. Try for the most part to cut out added sugars. I do not or have not used tobacco products. I do not or have not drink more than one alcoholic beverage per week on average. I do not or have not used recreational drugs, of any type. I am married, happily, with three children, ages 4, 7, and 9. I'm currently researching the best path forward. I've been Googling lots and watching a lot of different videos on YouTube which is where I found Excel Male. Suggestions are greatly appreciated, thanks in advance! [B] [/B] [/QUOTE]
