[QUOTE="scoobydont, post: 182527, member: 41042"] Hello everyone, I am a 41 year old male, avid runner, biker and amateur but fairly competitive endurance athlete. I average 10-11 hours of pretty-intense cardio a week. I noticed that over the past five years my libido has decreased significantly-it's still there but nothing like it used to be-and my mood has been down. I also had a stress fracture in my femur from running 85 miles a week. Anyways, I got a blood test and my total T was 252ng/dl. Doctor said "you could cut the cardio by 75 percent and your levels would probably go back up to normal on their own over a few months, or you could try 10mg/day subcutaneous testosterone cypionate, but be advised, this is probably a life-long commitment." I really enjoy all the running and biking, and if I do this I am going to be ineligible for a lot of races if they ever come back, because I couldn't get a theraputic use exemption because my doctor thinks my low-T is being cause by all the exercise. My body fat is already very low, and you can probably imagine so is my waist circumference and BMI. My cholesterol and PSA are normal. My TSH was a little high, also probably from all the exercise. I have the prescription, but I am still hesitant. I'd love to hear others opinions on what I should do. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
