very young with low natural test

[zomg1234]

I've just been informed by my docter that I have low test, being as I'm so young (23) I don't know if either of us think trt is the answer, any help guys?

Work with your doctor to rule out all possibilities before going on testosterone replacement therapy (TRT). Read this and reread it: https://www.aace.com/sites/default/files/hypogonadism.pdf

Rule out:
-other hormonal issues
-obesity induced hypogonadism
-hypothyroidism
-hypergonadotropic or hypogonadotropic hypogonadism
-sleep apnea
-pituitary abnormalities

If you are not sure, then you are not ready. You will know when you are ready. You will not have to seek advice from those who do not know you, to tell you if you are ready. If your doctor told you he does not know either, then you need to drop him, but I guess that does not matter, because YOU ARE NOT READY

Probably not what he wanted to hear, but it's very true. Just to be clear, the people that need to be on Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) are ready to get hit by a bus, jump off a bridge, flee the country, or get gear illegally. So self injecting 2-3 times every 5 days is no big deal, even left handed.

So even if this is you, you should find out the root cause. If your Dr does'nt know, get a Doc that can figure it out. What a lot of people don't realize is that if you have any kind of cancer, it will spread like wildfire on gear because of cell generation. PSA test along with a DRE is mandatory, at least for me.

I actually suffer from hypothyroidism and have been on synthroid for a few months and just got labwork back and my thyroid is almost back in place but I also suffer from low testosterone which is not caused by my thyroid, I myself am not scared of self injects, or anything else that comes with testosterone replacement therapy (TRT). In my mind I'm ready its just up to my doctor.

You actually sound depressed. You seem like a likely candidate. Sorry if we were harsh. Were only sympathetic for those that deserve it. Wish you luck. What was you t?

 

[Schweddy]

I also have a hypothyroid disorder. I have hashimoto's my Thyroid is 100% dead. Have your doctor check your pituitary. Also, too much synthroid can decrease/shut down your pituitary and wreck your T levels. Good luck.

 

[Frustrated1]

Are you kidding me?

It sounds like YOU'RE depressed (not to mention frustrated as well) since you are telling the OP that he DOES NOT deserve testosterone replacement therapy (TRT). The guy is 23 years old, suffering because he feels like an old fragile man, and you are saying he doesn't deserve it? Get your head straight, it seems like you have a pathological issue!

Hey newb RandyB, did I say he does not deserve testosterone replacement therapy (TRT)? No. Not even close, try to read.
Did he say anything in his first post other than young and low T without any numbers? No.
Hell even teenagers come on here stating low T.

I'm not depressed nor do I have a pathological issue, nor do you know me. But thanks for your keyboard commando evaluation, you sure as fuck wouldn't be spouting to my face.

 

[Frustrated1]

Noob? How childish of you to call me out. What is it, my join date or age? You think that you're a special kind who is the only one that's been suffering, and anyone else saying they feel bad is just BSin or being a sis.

Very hypocritical of you. Calling me a keyboard warrior and then saying I wouldn't dare say that to you face.

Grow up

I too suffer from hashimoto's just didn't want to get too specific here. I don't think I have to worry about too much synthroid right now I'm only on 88mg about to be bumped up a little within the next week. I have an appointment with my Dr. who actually is a Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) specialist just the soonest I can get in is around the end of the month, so I wont have actual numbers until then.

Nor do you know the OP but yet from a few sentences you were able to determine he was depressed?

Reading a little too much into it I said "He actually sounded depressed",maybe I'm wrong, sue me. Read the post again.

And as far as the teenager that's in here trying to get info on an Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) forum about cycling, shoot up, nobody cares, you sure as hell aren't making any friends here.

So tell me, how is any of this helping the OP?

 

[Frustrated1]

3 posts by the OP and you diagnosed him with depression? Wow...

Please, highlight the significant parts in his posts, or the way he expressed himself that made him sound depressed. Nothing REMOTELY about his posts sounded depressed. As I said, go get your head checked.

As for your info, your buddy 'Cashout' pretty much did the exact same thing as I was planning to. Being a teenager with ~150ng/dl of T in my body, of course I am willing to at least hop on 150-200mg/w for a couple months while trying to find a good doctor. My body is practically falling apart. Oh but wait, I'm not suffering like you and I don't deserve testosterone replacement therapy (TRT). You POS, GTFO you sheep



Exactly.

Why bring up my age? Try being more intellectual. At 30 something years old, I would *assume* you'd be more mature.

With my few word here your diagnosis of my intelligence is a little off. As I have an extraordinarily high intelligence rating on a psychological test of 142. Genius is anything over 140. Which means that 1/4th of one percent of the popluation has the same or higher IQ.

I have grandchidren 8 years younger than you, there is a lot to experience past the age of 18. Ask somebody on here with just a few more years older than you how much they thought they knew when they were 18 vs what they know now.

You may very well have something going on, which is why we're all here. But coming on hear flaming me because you think I'm talking about you, is just plain childish. The cake is when you call me sheep when I'm with Maximus. You do realize that this is their board right? You take everything that I say and twist it. Take an honest re-read of this whole post. Is it possible that you are taking something different then the way it was meant? Would you have reacted the same way I did if you were me?

So even if this is you, you should find out the root cause.

These are not the writings of a self-proclaimed genius. These are the writings of a pompous and pretentious person.
