Low test is TRT a possibility?
Hey guys,
I have several symptoms of low T, such as low libido, very little body hair (can't grow a beard or chest hair), some flabiness, and apathy. I'm 5'11 and about 220 lbs, I train (basic lifts-oriented routine) and am not obese, just some visceral and thigh fat I'm getting rid off (people comment on my good build). I have what I think is slight gyno, but that might just be bodyfat, not sure yet.
Anyways, I had some tests done, apparently all my hormones are OK, the only hormone that came out of range was FSH, at a level of 1,6 mUI/ml, range being 1,9 to 18,9 mUI/ml.
My total T came out at 372 ng/dl, and Free T 245,8 pmol/l (I'm not sure if that unit of measure is standard), range is 131,0 to 640,0 pmol/l.
I have read in several threads that what may be high test for someone might be low for somebody else, and, let's face it, even though my test is "normal", according to docs, from what I've read the ideal value should range from 600-800 ng/dl, so I really want to try TRT.
I'm scared, though, it's a stupid fear, most likely my life will improve tenfold with testosterone injections...I just need a final push. I would be really grateful if you guys could share some of your stories with me, what were your T levels, what are they now after testosterone replacement therapy (TRT), and how did it affect your life, both in positive and negative ways. Did your training improve with test also?
English is not my first language, so be lenient and forgive any grammar mistakes I might have committed!
