I heard that taking Testosterone will change my emotions, what will I feel whenever I start it? I know it doesn't actually kick in until the 3rd week of taking it. and all the rest of the changes?
If you do indeed have very low test then adding it back in will most likely make you "feel" and act more like a guy who has a nicely working pair.
First off why do you need it? Have you tired to stimulate you own system into making more via the clomid/nolva test? I'm coming off testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) of over a year because we never new the root cause of my low test. We are using the Nolva and honestly I feel better today than I ever did on testosterone replacement therapy (TRT). When you supply exo test it disturbs many other hormones in the body and it can become a juggling act.
My doctor said that with all of my health problems I have, that Low T could be the root of all of my problems, and he's doing blood tests to see if he is right, I should get them back next week.
But why is your T low? Is the brain not sending the signals? Is the brain sending the right signals and your balls aren't working.
Thats why if your results come back low you should do the clomid/nolva test before any exo test is given. Your HPTA may just need a boost. Just a thought its what I wish I had done first for myself. But I didn't know any better and listened to my idiot Dr.
it doesn't start at the pituitary. It starts at the hypothalamus. The hypothalamus is the one that actually receives information and detects testosterone levels in the blood. If it senses a low count, it sends gnrh (gonadotrophin releasing hormones) to the pituitary gland. The pituitary sees the work order and releases the lh and fsh hormones and you know where it goes from there.

I have a Para Thyroid problem, I take some thyroid meds for it. I'm not exactly sure how my brain works.. I think my thyroid plays a part in all of this. I'm not smart in areas, where I'm a genius in others. Its also hard for me to multi task
If you have thyroid issues you should also check your adrenals which also affect testosterone levels.
What is your para-thyroid condition? The endocrine system is very complicated and controls alot more than most people realize.
