20 and low testo

[re4per]

Hi fellas, im 20 years old and got my bloodwork back today.
The thing is, i'm from germany so Chip is sadly not an option.
Our doctors plain suck regarding testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) and they never would have tested me for T if i wouldnt begged them too.
The strange thing is, i dont have ED and my libido is normal or even above normal, the only think i dont have is morning wood.
I also store most of my fat around the belly and waist, and sometimes my nipples get itchy.
I'm also into weightlifting and even though my test levels suck, i could build muscle (but slower than most of my friends).
So yeah my position sucks and i hope my endo will listen to me regarding the therapy.
The standard therapy in germany is testo E 250mg every 3 weeks, Nebido or Testogel.
These options suck and i hope he aggrees with me on this one and prescribe me 100mg e5d, but this would be like winning the lottery, because we only have 250mg Testoviron in our pharmacies.

The blood work was done by my dermatologist, because i take accutane and asked him to measure my test levels.

If there are any german members on this board please contact me via pn regarding your doctor recommendations.

In your situation, I would stay away from testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) for now. In your case, eating clean and losing weight could help get your estrogen lower (E2 is most likely your morning wood problem) and increase your natural testosterone.

I'm 5'10 and weigh 167,5lbs with 12-14% bf.
Like i said, i do have muscles but why the hell is my testo down at 2.76 at the age of 20?

Are you in shape or not?

Lots of possible causes of low T. In your case, T may be an issue but your symptoms are pointing to high estrogen. What are your E2 and LH numbers?

I failed to link my picture correctly in the start post.

Yes I'm in shape. I'm more muscular and stronger than most of my friends and I like my body except for those damn misplaced fat deposits.

Here is my bloodwork in writing:
TESTO 2.76
PROL 295 mU/l
FSH 4.8
LH 2.3
E2 52
SHBG 25.3
FTI 62.1

You've got something going on. Find out what's causing the low T. Also no PM's until you hit some post count, like 50 or so.

Thanks for the article.
The half life of Testoviron is 10.5 days, so would it be reasonable to dose it 200mg e10d?

5 days before the second blood work i started taking zinc.
100mg the first 10 days, after that 50mg every day for 5 weeks.
The day before yesterday i forgot to take the 50mg, so yesterday i took 100mg.
So I had the most intense dreams I ever had.
I mean I always have pretty vivid dream, but they were nothing compared to what happened that night.
Unfortunatly my mom woke me after 2 hours of sleep, because she was looking for something.
I had a brutal hardon and before I went back to sleep I took another 100mg of zinc.
The vivid dreams contuined or got even more intense.
Do you think the zinc finally kicked in and lowered my E2 or was is just a coincidence?
I have an appointment at my endo this friday, would you recommend to keep taking the zinc or backin off a little bit?
