[QUOTE="armada, post: 58895, member: 14754"] Hello all, I was put on TRT by an endocrinologist at age 19 when my levels came back in the low 300s (ng/dl) on two blood draws. I discontinued TRT (she had prescribed Androgel) after my prescription ran out and did not keep up with it as my symptoms seemed to have improved somewhat and I did not keep up with going to the endocrinologist. In retrospect, this was definitely a mistake, but I have chalked it up to the irresponsibility that comes with youth :) Fast forward to the present day, and I am about to be 30 and have not felt great for some time now - all the classic symptoms of low T. Out of curiosity, I got a total T test on my own about 3 years ago and it showed me at ~650 ng/dl. I am now in NJ, where I cannot get my own bloodwork done without a doctors prescription, so I'm not sure what my levels are currently at, but I feel like I did when they were quite low. My first step is to find a doctor who is willing to check my T levels. My current doctor is not receptive to this idea given my age. If you have any recommendations for Northern/Central Jersey doctors, let me know! I am aware of the telemedicine options (namely Defy), but I would prefer to find a doctor more local to me, if possible. If I don't have any luck going that route, I may explore other options.
