[QUOTE="xqfq, post: 157168, member: 38167"] I don’t have advice for your specific situation with the doctor, but hopefully others here can provide guidance on convincing skeptical physicians. I do believe you would benefit from well-done TRT. Your total testosterone level was normal but your free testosterone, which is all that really matters, was below-range low. Using the new Tru-T.com calculator (search “tru-t” on this forum for lots of information), your free T was 11.42 ng/dL, or below range (16-31 ng/dl, see [URL='https://www.excelmale.com/forum/threads/tru-t-calculator-what-is-the-range.19213/'][FONT=Open Sans][SIZE=16px]https://www.excelmale.com/forum/threads/tru-t-calculator-what-is-the-range.19213/[/SIZE][/FONT][/URL]). Using the other calculators your free T is even more under range. You may not have symptom relief because your testosterone levels aren’t high enough with your current protocol on the gel. You might have felt good for the first month because your body’s own testosterone production wasn’t shut down, so you had your body + the gel, which may have been an adequate amount of testosterone for you!
