Unless you report a problem, doc is gonna be happy. If he puts you on a treatment without a reason, he will be introducing side effects thus just doing you harm.

If you want him to do something about your low test, you gotta feel the sides of low test - fatigue, weak dong, foggy mind, lethargy, depression, etc.

tell your doctor that you have fatigue, low sex drive and are struggling to maintain erection and that you think you have low T.

Docs do not give a **** about low T. It is on a scale of 300-1000, and the docs do not care about age. At 20 you can be at 301 and that is “still in the range”

it still gives you an edge over real nattys tho.

You will have the same test levels even if your diet, rest and lifting is not on point because your body is not producing it anymore.

If you go to this doctor ever again, you are a fool. If someone is that careless about YOUR health, find someone new yesterday. I emailed my doctor a few months back, said hey, can you do some tests for this and that. He said no problem, put the request in, did the lab tests the next day and got the results a few days after.

How low is yours?

I wouldn't be surprised if mine registered low because i was still on a psmf style diet for the last 4 months and was barely eating.

lol well that solves it.

You obviously aren't genetically low T, you're just depressed/dieting/etc. which is causing it to tank. Whatever you do though, don't take T

That doesn't change much...and assuming your levels are fluctuating like crazy. It's not magic, especially at 100mg/week

Ask for a referral to a urologist. Urologists are most often happy to acknowledge and treat testosterone issues in a safe manner that preserves fertility

Absolutely untrue. Just argued with one yesterday. I have seen many. 99% are clueless and less than helpful. Your PCM is still a better bet. Wellness and Anti-aging clinics are the most liberal if you don't want any pushback.

Lowest it ever been is now at like 320 or something. Free T was like 80% of lowest cutoff value.

I think mine is because I was on low calories for 4 months. Mine has never been below 430 until now.

Life long commitment. Short/Long term sides have to be closely managed (and everyone is different). You can start with patches, creams, beads, but in the end injects are the endstate. You should be done with kids on this path otherwise it will ensure that.

Lastly 90% of the medical professional that can prescribe it don't know how to manage it...or just make up their beliefs.
