Thanks Spunkey71! That was just one of my most extreme diets. I have done many and even had a nutritionist design a diet for me. I am currently following Chris Powell's carb cycling. I do cardio 6x's a week and lift weights 5x's a week. I will definitely look up 3J once the holidays are past. I...

Thanks Halfwit. The military is kind of a family trade. I did have my LH/FSH checked. LH 2.89 miu/ml FSH 2.29 miu/ml I'm afraid the endo is going to say that my low t is caused by being overweight and that I just need to lose weight. I've been working my ass off to lose weight for years, nearly...

No, that's all my primary was willing to test for before I see the endo. I will be asking for that as well as an estradiol test. I'm learning as much as I can because I know that the VA is horrible about doing things without prompting and I'm afraid the VA endocrinologist will have very little...

Just got my free testosterone results. 57pg/ml (range: 46 - 224pg/ml). I don't know what that means overall, but at least that is within the normal range.

If I never lose an erection during sex again it will be too soon! Thanks Megatron! I may just let it surprise her. :)

Apollon, the thing that sucks is I have worked my ass of to lose weight for a long time and now I know it's been a waste of time. I suppose the crazy strict diet and exercise regime have kept me from experiencing the more serious effects of obesity, but it's still frustrating.

Megatron, I'm actually kind of excited about how great everybody on trt says it feels. I've been kind of "blah" for so long, I just figured it was just me. I really appreciate your encouragement and support. My wife and I talked and she did some research on low t. She is now cracking the trt...

Thanks Spunkey71! I'm pushing the VA like a mad man right now. I broke lower back in Iraq after an explosion and I keep wondering if something happened then to cause this. I'm determined to get this fixed, one way or another.

Castrate levels? You have successfully scared the crap out of me.

Thanks for the advice guys. After reading the responses on here I threw a fit and made my doctor recheck. He's now referring me to endo. I don't know what these results mean, but I know my test was lower the second time. Prolactin 11.05 ng/ml LH 2.89 miu/ml FSH 2.29 miu/ml...

Thanks to both of you. The VA informed me this morning that they won't even refer me to an endocrinologist unless my testosterone levels are "critically low". I'm not even sure what critically low is. I'm pretty bummed. I'm going through finances now to see if I can cover it out of pocket or...

Thanks halfwit. That's about what I thought. Do you know what tests or therapy I should be pushing for? I sure do appreciate all the help. btw, constant low energy, inability to lose weight, struggling with depression, inability to increase strength are my symptoms. My libido seems okay...

Imt?

I am 34 years old and I've been over weight for about 6 years. I am 6'3 and I weigh about 370. The past two years have been constant clean eating and exercise. I do 30 - 45 minutes of cardio 6 days a week and lift weights five days a week. My diets have gone from Kris Gethin's 12 week program...
