[QUOTE="CoastWatcher, post: 68168, member: 2624"] Welcome to EM. As a fellow Canadian I understand it can be frustrating to find capable medical care if you're dealing with hypogonadal issues. That said, no doctor who understands his or her way around hormones trusts saliva-derived testosterone or estradiol values. Why? They are utterly inaccurate. Simple as that. Your blood work suggests you are hypogonadal. Your doctor made the all too common error of assuming that because you are "in range" that you're "normal." Not necessarily true. Of course, there is a lot more testing that wasn't done...so that means your first step is finding a capable doctor in the Halifax-Dartmouth region. We've had some luck finding referrals for members in Ontario and Quebec, and I will see if that good fortune can be extended to the Atlantic provinces. It may well mean stepping outside the health care system for private care. [/QUOTE]
