Hello all I come to you for advice before I talk about treatment w doctor. I went to get my cortisol checked since I was getting crazy fat in my belly. I gained 20 lbs in 3months all in my belly. I was crazy about being active, cycling, running working out anything to be in shape. However since college I lost it all and I thought it was because I moved back w my parents. My sex drive is fine but no where it used to be. I hate the person I became I try hard to lift and run but it's just not there I know I sound like a b. I got the results and they are quite shocking. I got total test checked and it came out to be low 300. Should I talk to my doctor about trt or just a cycle of test following hcg until I get close to 700. I've attached the picture of lab reaults. Oh I am only 22 years old BTW. 5'8" always considered to be an ectomorph.
Component Results
Component Your Value Standard Range
Testosterone, Bioavailable, S 186ng/dL
Testosterone, Total, S 320 ng/dL
Testing performed by Liquid Chromatography-Tandem Mass
Spectrometry (LC-MS/MS).
I performed it twice. First it was lower total test around 230 at 4pm but doctor told me to do it at 8am since its optimal at that time..
My virtual is Cortisol 13.1 µg/dL I guess that was fine. I told the doc to do a free test but he was not too hyped about it. Also he didn't want to refer me to an endo.
He told me to come back on the 25th for treatment plan. I believe he's a conservative doc. I am not trying to get on trt is there any alternative way to boost my test and stop feeling like a 70yr old.
