Has anyone started TRT in the 400's ngdl range? (13nmol-18nmol)

Hi there posted on this forum a few times before but...
Has anyone started or does anyone know someone who started TRT in the 400's ngdl range? (13nmol-18nmol)

Im 20 years old and i have had 2 tests, 420ngdl and 450ngdl. Free T middle of the range on both. Good E2 aswell. Cortisol High but in range.

The thing that confuses me is i have pretty severe symptoms and they have slowly got worse over 2 years;
-Brain fog/slowed thinking.
-Erectile dysfunction with completely no morning wood.
-The no morning or night wood makes me urinate like mad at night.
-Anti social even though i know deep down i love social interaction.
-Lack of drive and motivation for ANYTHING.
-"Andro-Gut"

Any input would be welcomed. Really don't know where to go anymore, such a shame you can't just 'try' TRT.

There are some who have started TRT with TT in that range, but many docs will not do it.

What did your LH and FSH come in at? Perhaps you could try a restart depending on what they show.

Did you go through puberty normally?

Anything else in your medical history?

Have you looked into other causes of those symptoms such as sleep apnea, thyroid, , varicele, etc? What is your doctor telling you?

I would do everything I could to avoid TRT at age 20. Try to figure out what is keeping your T low and see if you can fix it. If you need TRT it is an life saver, but I would rather have healthy Natty T.

Just so you know, normal TT for age 20 is about 550. As you get a little older the average peaks around 600. So you are a little on the low side, but still far from hypogonadal.
