[QUOTE="Systemlord, post: 104652, member: 15832"] These doctors don't even know what tests to order to properly evaluate you, so their entire diagnoses is based on a lack of proper testing. This doctor is no better than the first one. SHBG is the gold standard for sex hormone evaluation and there is NO WAY anyone could diagnose you without it, they also failed to test estrogen. You're well below the ranges of what's considered low testosterone, it's clear these doctors are against TRT andor are incompetent in regards to diagnosing low testosterone. This doctors entire diagnosis is based solely on directly measured free testosterone which is a problem, free T has a short half life and changes throughout the day so an hour later it can be low. This is why most knowledgeable doctors measure Total T and SHBG to get more accurate free T numbers. I seriously doubt you will find a doctor in your insurance network who are any better than the last two, you need to go private. Even if they gave you TRT they wouldn't know the first thing how to design a protocol for you, you need to pay out of pocket for proper care. I've had three endos and none of them know what their doing. [/QUOTE]
