[QUOTE="NeedMoreTee, post: 76122, member: 16107"] I've had 2 T tests in the past 3 months and from my research I believe this is not normal right? I've been feeling progressively worse for about a decade now. I didn't really put 2 and 2 together until the last couple months. I'm 37 years old, extremely overweight (i've tried desperately and cannot lose weight), I have every single low T symptom and I have repeatedly told her I haven't felt right in years, I'm getting worse, and that something is wrong. She won't listen and just wants to put me on antidepressants. I was going to post graphs but my post count is too low so these are my numbers, first is March 29th, second is July 6th: Free T: 63, 52 pg/nL T: 371, 324 ng/dL LH: 8.2, 9.6 IU/L FSH: 8.3 7.0 IU/L Free T and T is at the absolute ragged edge at the bottom of the "normal" range. My LH is off the charts and above the normal range, is that not my body screaming that it needs more T? I used to have a very, very strong sex drive (10 years ago). I used to be naturally muscular and trim. Now, I have almost no interest whatsoever, my wife feels awful because I just don't care about sex. I have absolutely no drive or motivation any longer, indecision is so bad I can barely do the simplest thing without my mind rolling in unsure circles. I used to be freakishly strong, now when doing yardwork I feel like melting jello. I'm an emotional trainwreck that is cut to the core by the slightest negativity. I didn't used to be like this! This is the message my doctor gave me in my test results: "[COLOR=#363636][FONT="]Good Afternoon Scott, [/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#363636][FONT="]Your testosterone was within normal range. With it being in normal range I am not comfortable replacing it, if you would like to talk to someone about still replacing it I would recommend you to make an appointment with urology or endocrinology and they can discuss it with you further." [/FONT][/COLOR]I'm still researching and reading, trying to arm myself with knowledge. If I'm going to schedule an appointment with a urologist or endocrinologist I want to go in there knowing whether I should stand up and fight saying that I really think I need TRT or if my case probably doesn't warranty therapy. If not that should I instead go to a T clinic? I don't have much money and I believe the best price I can find is $200 a month but if these normal doctors are going to just keep wasting my time then maybe I should just do that? I need help guys, what would you do? Are my numbers "normal"? [/QUOTE]
