Low T at 17

[HulkLike]

Hey guys I was looking for some advice I went to the doc back in November 2012 to get blood work done and check my test levels got the results back and it showed that my T was at 238 I asked the doctor about it and she said it was normal :| I know this cant be normal. I have never used any steriods/prohormones prior to this testing, I told her about how I feel fatigued and not having any energy alot of times only feel energized right after waking from a nap then about a hour or two after being awake I start getting the no energy feeling again. Also told her how sometimes I can feel down for no reasons and she tried to diagnose me with depression and said it was common in teens. and last I have developed a bit of gyno havn't been able to workout on a steady basis these past 4-5 months I know all of these are symptoms of Low T I just dont know why she would say my levels were normal after reading mid 200's.


I would love if someone could help me I wanna get to feeling as if I were in my early teens again age 12-14 I felt great back then.

tell your doc that you're going to buy testosterone from an underground lab and learn how to administer the treatment that you feel is necessary if she chooses to be blind to your results.
OR she can do her job and HELP you cure your low T by prescribing you the treatment and monitoring your health along the way, which is what you wanted to begin with.

see if that makes her change her decision... or maybe try a younger doctor.
Older doctors are a pain in the butt to work with about hormones. My doctor has little knowledge of hormones and prefers to stay that way :\
I am going to do my own testosterone replacement therapy (TRT), but I've done over a years worth of research now and feel like I can successfully treat myself BETTER than my doctor would have.
I would not recommend doing this on your own at your age though, AAS can be very dangerous if administered incorrectly and can leave you with permanent damage (as you SHOULD already be aware of). If you're going to do them on your own for whatever reason, my only advice to you is to learn as much as you can about what you want to do BEFORE you attempt it.
Best of luck

238 is below range, so your doctor is actively lying to you - which is troubling. I could see if you're at 350 or around the bottom of the "normal" range, for a doc to make such a stupid statement, but you are definitely in the hypogonadal spectrum. It is time to tell that doc BUBBBYE, and find a doctor that is willing to help you figure out what the heck is going on. This is especially important in my opinion since you are still in the middle stages of adolescence, which can have lasting effects for the rest of your life.

I'm not saying you will require testosterone replacement therapy (TRT), but a qualified doctor should at least order more tests and try to figure out WHY you are so low. You may want to push to see an endocrinologist first as they *should* have the most expertise in this area, but if you find another dud, a urologist can also have some insight here; especially if this effects your Johnson. Get on this ASAP friend, you definitely do not want to take no for an answer as much of your development from here on out requires you have proper hormone levels. Good luck!

Note: I am not a doctor nor am I a medical professional. I do however have personal experience being hypogonadal and know how bad doctors can truly be when it comes to male hormone issues.

Doctors can be stupid sometimes. If nothing, Try Clomid and Nolvadex 50mg clomid 40mg of nolvadex for a month. Drop the nolva to 20mg after 2 weeks, Or you could do one shot of triptorelin at 100mcg and be done with it. Go have levels checked after your done brining them back. You should go to an endocrinologist.

How about you tell your parents your doctor sucks and get a second opinion. She doesn't know what it's like to be a man, we need all the test we can get... naturally... at 18...
