[QUOTE="scoobydont, post: 182599, member: 41042"] Yes, my E2 was also very low, 9 pg/ml. I am definitely an endurance exercise addict. Basically a doctor told me have the male equivalent of when female endurance athletes train so hard their periods stop. It's tough because I really love the 6-7 hours of sleep, two workouts a day bike run swim life style. As far as how I feel, I don't feel that bad honestly. Libido is low, but well, this is going to sound crazy but I like exercise way more than sex. My energy levels are ok. My upper body strength has gone down a little over the last 5 years-I used to be able to do 30 strict pull ups and now I can do 16-18, but I don't feel that bad. I got a big ego boost from winning or placing high up in the masters division in races in the past year and a half-just this past year I've run a 16 minute 5k, a 1:15 half marathon and a 4:50 mile. That said I have a lot of joint pain, a little bit of hip arthritis, osteitis pubis, and occasional sciatica that remind me how old I am. I don't know what TRT will do to all of this-It's not like my times are even testosterone dependent, all female pro runners are faster than me. Will it fix my joint pain and make running pain free again? Should I try quitting endurance exercise, eat more, lift weights three times a week for two months and get retested? At 252 ng/dl, I'm definitely a candidate for TRT but again if I take it I'll be ineligible for certified races because me deficiency is a result of training so no therapeautic use exemption for me.
