[QUOTE="canadianeh, post: 240941, member: 44740"] Posted this on Reddit but only got a little feedback. Looking to discuss a bit more:" I'm 42, no real symptoms of Low T AFAI. Maybe low energy but I chalk that up to 5:30AM wakeups and being busy most days, I workout pretty hard 5 days per week lifting & cardio. I sleep okay'ish. I usually get to bed around 11 wake up around 5 having to use the bathrooms. I eat, okay not great. Too much junk. I'm carrying a bit too much body fat right now prob 22-24% I've been reading and hearing about TRT more than ever before. In Canada, I signed up for OnMen which made it relatively simply to get my blood checked. Yesterday I had a follow-up consultant. She said T is low but above "normal" range.She said FT is low but not horrible. She said I would be a candidate for TRT but it's not really something you try and then get off if you don't like. She also talked about the risk of "man boobs", or trying to come off TRT and then levels being worse or struggling to come back to normal. I asked if I was low, why have I never experienced any of the symptoms. I.e. energy is good, libido good, everything works as it should. She said maybe I've always been low and just coped and perhaps I could be feeling better/more energy?! Testosterone = 12.9 nmol/L which I think equates 371 Free T = 267 pmo/L which I believe is 73 pg/ml Full results: [MEDIA=imgur]a/W7qfcLq[/MEDIA] Her end advice was if I wasnt sure, maybe use these numbers as a baseline and check again in 3 months and 6 months. Any other advice/thoughts on the numbers? [/QUOTE]
