I have an appointment with an endo... how much T should i be looking to try and get..

[CoolCat20]

Age: 19
Location: UK (NHS)
Total Testosterone:
Test 1: 522
Test 2: 290
Estrogen: 149

For all i know from what ive read online i might not even get it prescribed and i may get a doctor who isnt as clued up on the subject as he thinks he is, id just like to go there with a few numbers in my head really.

Well if you are at 522 as the first test states, you prob shouldn't even start test at 19 bro. Hcg and an Aromatase inhibitor (AI) are the way to go. But that estrogen is not looking good.

Isnt 522 first thing in the morning a really low number for someone my age? if they put me on something to lower the Estrogen in my body do you think it could in turn higher my testosterone? Also what does Aromatase inhibitor (AI) stand for?

Yeah it's a bit low, but I've heard many people just taking HCG and Aromatase inhibitor (AI) (aromatize inhibitors) and having their normal test reset. It's probably best to avoid test at 19 if you can help it. My friend went from 200's to 900's just from hcg and armidex... Aromatase inhibitor (AI) will lower your estrogen and increase your testosterone, but not by insane amounts like test would.

Most, if not all, of your symptoms can be related to the high estrogen. As others noted, T levels look fine (even at your age). Get the estrogen under control and then see how you feel.
