[QUOTE="sm22, post: 250746, member: 45301"] Hi All, For the last 8 years, I have been suffering from brain fog, low libido, low motivation, head pressure and tiredness. The first couple of years I went to numerous doctors- family medicine, ENT, 2 neurologists, sleep apnea. No one was able to figure out what was wrong and not one doctor mentioned testosterone or anything to do with hormones. The only time I would feel normal would be after working which would only last a few hours and I just got used to feeling like crap and relied on naps and caffeine to get thru the day. For some reason, I decided to look into testosterone a few months ago and got hooked up with an online mens clinic. They had me go in to take an afternoon blood test, I then went to an endocrinologist and got tested. Both were low and I got prescribed testosterone cypionate 80mg twice a week and hcg once a week. I decided to hold off from taking the testosterone and HCG as my wife and I are actively trying to have a second kid. We didn't trust the TRT clinic nor the endocrinologist. I decided to start taking a couple of testosterone boosters from the Vitamin Shoppe, hoping that it would help with libido so that we could try to conceive. After taking the testosterone boosters we visited a local TRT/Mens Health Clinic in Minneapolis. This was the only test that my total testosterone came back in normal ranges but I am wondering if it was due to taking the testosterone boosters as I was getting emotional while taking them and my SHBG and Free T were both low. Here are my three tests in the order that I took them. My question is can the testosterone boosters increase my total testosterone and SHBG while keeping my Free T low. I am 36 years old, CrossFit Enthusiast, 6'1 and 235 lbs, and muscular.
