[QUOTE="Chris, post: 7115, member: 1040"] Hey guys, Some of you already know me, I've been asking a lot of dumb questions on the TRT facebook page. I've finally made it over here. There is a lot of good info! Here is a little about my TRT experience so far: I've had untreated Low T and hypothyroidism for several years now. At least 3 years that I know of. I actaully came to my doctor thinking something was wrong with my thyroid a few years ago, and we tested and he told me I just need to loose weight. (Although, the reason I though I had a thyroid problem was because I was haveing trouble loosing weight.) After that I thought if my thryoid is okay it must be my testosterone. We checked that and I was around 300 mg/dl, which he told me was normal. Next test I was in the 200's, next test I was in the 100's, still he told me my free T was still in range so nothing to worry about. Not to mention I had gained 50lbs in that time peroid. Finally one day I had a problem being intimate with my georgous girlfriend and I had had it. I picked a different doctor and brought him all the tests I had collected from the first doctor and he was shocked that I had been untreated for so long, and that I had never been checked for testicular cancer which he informed me is a possible cause for a 33 year old male to have such low T.
