Hi!
I'm going to my endocrinologist tomorrow. I've taken several blood tests showing low TT (240-320 ng/dl) and free. As well as low E2 and low LH.
My TT and free T are both on the edge of their reference range. Sometimes slightly below, sometimes slightly above.
I've taken en mri showing that my pituitary seems normal. I've done all the lifestyle changes I can, and live optimally for proper testosterone production. I'm 29. I have ~80% of the symptoms of low T, and it bothers me a lot, and have been for years.
My fear is that the endo will be conservative, and say that I don't need TRT.
I have probably done more than 100 hours of study on the topic, and have a fairly strong base of knowledge at this point.
That said, is there anything you guys can think of that would convince the endo to try TRT? Should I bring studies? Should I talk in a specific way? etc. etc.
I'd just like some advice on how to approach the situation!
In advance, thanks!
