Total Test 380ng/dl A Decent Enough Indicator to further investigate?

Yea time to find a new doc who will listen and care enough to find the root of the issue. Shes always been one to try and prescribe meds for adhd, anxiety depression or whatever you go to her with. Definetly not taking an antidepressant when i dont need it.

Before considering TRT, I would get another blood test. T levels vary throughout the day and are usually highest in the AM. When I was in your shoes considering TRT, blood test T values were all over the board, but consistently bad. high 200- lows 300.

T level is affected by LOTS of factors. For example, a bad nights sleep will result in lower T values.

Yea i definetly want atleast another full bloodtest forsure before a matter of committing to anything. Looks like i will have to go to walk ins to find a doc who will dona full panel as my GP said t definetly had nothing to do with that and wouldnt even retest me.

If you are just looking for bloodwork, you can purchase without a script in most states. I do this all the time to make sure HCT and RBC are in check.

He's in Canada, they don't have the private md labs as far as I know, hell just go north in the states and you can't use it lol (I'm always driving to PA).

Follow the post from IMT, you need a full work up at your age as it's low let alone for 22. Since you're in Canada you will have to keep searching for a doc who will pull the bloodwork, there could be another cause that's serious which would be best to discover now.

Yea im in canada so i cant get bloods that easily. Have to go to a new walk in clinic everytime and say i think i have low test. Sometimes they just say i dont think so and no. Pain in the ass. I did find a very good younger male GP who is accepting new patients so hopefully i will be able to get an appointment with him and he will run a full panel. I definetly want to know everything is fine and I just have Low T before i commit to TRT. If i do end up finding that out would any of you reccommend self medicating at say 150mg a week plus all ancillaries ai and such as needed or continue to search for a doc that will treat me? I have stumbled across many threads of 30+ canadians with similar or lower T that cant seem to find treatment from anyone as it "is still in range". If i continue to have low levels after more testing but i am still within range, would a short oral only cycle such as anavar and no or very short PCT a month before bloods help to lower it enough to be treated? Or would the Lh and fsh still be suppressed enough to raise question.
