So I have an appointment with a HRT doctor for TRT next week...

They'll do nothing to help.

I have measured lowT after having lost a testicle to cancer.

Even getting a doctor to talk about it was like getting water from a stone and when I finally got an appointment with a specialist they refused to prescribe test replacement because even though it's below average, it's just above the range where they prescribe.

I have literally every symptom of low T and only have one testicle and I can't get help. Good luck OP

Wew lad.

I literally yelp searched TRT, drove 5 mins to the nearest walk in clinic and got 250mg a week after a 5 min talk with the doc and no bloodwork (come back for that in 2 months) and a PA to make my insurance pay for it.

Fucking lol at anyone who seriously goes to an endo or specialist for trt.

Roids.
Get them at your doctor

In Australia, only urologists and endos are allowed to prescribe it

shit i thought i was just getting older

i even went to my doctor and he said "well you're not going to have to same sex drive as an 18 year older"

how do i find a good endochronologist?

Test decreases naturally with age. Doesn't mean you shouldn't try to counter it

Obviously I don't know how to find a good one, or I'd be taking test right now

well this was my first test, but the second test i was at 250 so insurance denied me...

Wow user it’s almost like Jews DON’T control the world and instead people just don’t really understand everything.

Sounds like something a Jew would say

OP here.
The clinic I'm going to even told me that they probably won't need a bloodtest to prescribe it, but I should fast before I go in just in case. I'm pretty young so I think he'll take some bloods. I'm planning on staying awake for about 24 hours beforehand and make sure I'm hungover as fuck when I go in. After recommendation from this thread I'll probably drink a shittonne of soy too, maybe with a generous heaping of mcdonalds.

God I am going to feel like utter shit, but it'll be worth it.

>get a birthcontrol pill from a girl

Would this actually work? Wouldn't the doctor notice the clearly artificial sky high levels of estrogen in your lab work?

m8 you're fucking lower than shit.
Start roiding legit.

My doctor said "you're within the expected range so don't expect much" and kinda shrugged me off.

I haven't been back since because fuck him.

HighT men will fight back, are non-conformist, and arent afraid to have their own opinions. Soybois will let anyone walk over them and have women run their lives, and will say "refugees welcome" in hopes that their women takes their cock-lock off for one evening.

get tested late in the day, when levels are lowest.
you dont have time to order tranny meds that lower T before your test, but if anyone wants to know, it is spironolactone, and decently easy to get on line, just google spironolactone self medding

There is absolutely no serious evidence that soy reduces testosterone, you dumb briscientists

^
Fucking sucks, since I'm a fit 21 year old dude and my levels are just above the "normal" range, I'll never get test legally.

Gear Phoenix an alright source?

>bad diet, hydration, sleep, you name it
And how do you think you get testosterine without eating, sleeping and exercising right? By the magic test fairy?

Im sure the ever more feminine features traits men get currently with the ever dropping test levels on population its just a coincidence

What the fuck are you babbling about? Look at how easy 12, hell 8 years old can chug down estrogen and hormone blockers in a flinch, not to mention estrogen filled pills and old women creams readily available, yet getting test is hell on earth and you need 80 year old test level to apply for trt
They couldn't made it harder to get test than it is right now
A submissive, weak, non-assertive and non-breeding population is begging to be ruled over

This. The enviornmental impact on hormone production is severely understated. Most testosterone is produced during sleep.
You think it's a coincidence that after a shitty night, you have low energy, anxiety and bad mood? Impaired hormone pruction plays a significant role in these symptoms.

important lifestyle factors for healthy hormones (and general health):

>sleep
get enough of it. Sleep in a cool, dark room with minimal noise. Sleep on your back with a semi-rigid mattress and a small pillow for better posture. Wake up early and go outside.

>sunlight exposure
Vitamin D is crucial for hormone production. Prioritize sun over supper. Light (especially early in the day) is also important to maintain a healthy circadian rhythm. Avoid bright and blue light starting 2 hours before sleep.

>exercise
increases blood flow and muscle mass, both of which increase metabolism. Also decreases stress hormones like cortisol and increases dopamine sensitivity.

>diet
the standard american diet (SAD) consists mainly of processed foods full of poor quality produce with tons of noxious additives. grain grown from depleted soils full of pesticides are inflammatory, meat from animals fed these grains is also inflammatory.
It's generally agreed that a healthy diet consists mostly of whole foods, plant or animal. I'm not going to get into veganism vs meat, just eating whole, minimally processed foods from organic production (better soil and no pesticides, sourcing from local organic farms is even better) will do wonders for your health.

Dietary tips

Consume adequate amounts of calories.
Aim for 120-150g of animal protein or 180-200g of plant protein.
Consume 20-30% of your calories from healthy fats, avoid vegetable oils.
Avoid too much fatty pork or chicken, fatty beef and dairy have better fat composition.
If you eat meat, increase your consumption of gelatinous cuts and offal.
Don't use too much salt.
For carbs, prioritize tubers and fruit over grains and legumes.
Sugar is not evil, sweet fruits are prefectly healthy.
Eat a variety of colors, carotenes (orange) and anthocyanins (purple) have antioxidant properties.
Use generous amounts of spices and herbs for seasoning. Enjoying what you eat is important.

I can go more in depth if anybody has any questions or wants more information.

You’re not wrong

Scooby?

just buy test from a dealer and medicate yourself,faggot

All of those symptoms almost immediately takes effect when I fap.

NoFap is not a meme.

OP is clearly retarded or baiting cuckbois who are gonna scream "Im low test pls halp"

I fap all the time and suffer from none. I guess you're just weak.

Do you fap to porn?

> soyboi rage

Coping is a natural human mechanism... it isn't until recently in human history that man has developed science to actually stop and undo shit like this.

I thought high test caused hair loss

>not having two lesbo moms giving you injections to keep you weak and dress you up like a girl
>not having two lesbo moms shaming you for every erection
>tfw

Find another doctor. Hell, if I were you I would start buying test off the dark net.

Is testicular shrinkage a real symptom? I don't know if they've shrinked, but I've always thought my balls were small

There was a thread the other day about a study showing that some compound in soy reduces DHT, the most potent and widely used androgen in your body. It's used by your body to
>grow body and facial hair
>lower voice
>improve mood
>improve sexual functions
>lower estrogen

Stay cucked.

best fish?

>Tfw stepsister moves to Australia and transitions to a man, and now has higher test than the average male.

Get your shit together aus

>fatique

I'm weary of recommending fish at all. Shellfish in general have better nutrients while having less polluants.
Most fish are contaminated with plastics and/or heavy metals. Smaller fish have less heavy metal buildup than larger fish, but they still have traces, and still contain plastics.

If you're on a budget, sardines and anchovies are decent, if you're rich, wild alaskan salmon.
Avoid farmed fish, especially salmon, even if organic. They're fed processed trash and given chemicals to color their diseased, grey flesh.
Fish oil supplements are also no bueno (poorly sourced, the chemical extraction process leaves tons of polluants in the oil, and the oil is often rancid)

Scallops and oysters are god-tier but pricey. Other mollusks and crustaceans are generally more reasonably priced (but inferior when it comes to nutrients) especially if you live near the coast.

The benefits of omega-3s are very overstated, usually in an attempt to sell fish oil supplements (the absolute worse form of omega 3s) Limiting omega-6 intake leads to much more significant health benefits.

Also nice trips.

cool. appreciate it.

Please, if you got anything else you'd like to say, continue on. At worst it's something to look into.

bumping very decent thread

Pushing 40 here and just started working out a month ago. Already dropped 42 lbs by only taking in less than 100 calories per day. I had a stockpile of androgel from two years ago that dr was giving me and quit using it because I had surgery and didn't work out anymore. Maybe it works for some people, i think it was more mental for me. Either way, I started using it last week as originally prescribed 4 pumps per day. But got to thinking last night that most of the shit probably doesn't get absorbed, or gets on clothes. Decided fuck that shit and shot two pumps up my ass. That's right, I used a syringe without a needle, put two pumps into the syringe, stuck it up my asshole and shot away. First time anything other than a chicks tongue has gone up my ass, but as long as I can hold my shit in all day (which shouldn't be hard since I haven't eaten in 5 days now due to fasting) I'll get 100$ absorption rate. Honestly, I'm only doing this because I have no idea where to get gear. Old doc is on the other side of the country from me now, current doc flipped out when I asked to get put back on the gel. People say to talk to people at my gym, but I work out at a ymca. Everyone there is in the silver sneakers program and I had to dust off all the dumbbells that were over 50 lbs in the weight room.

Tell me your wisdom old timer.
I'm 30 and I hate my job but would have to start over with no experience if I change fields.
What do?

depends on your situation. Do you live comfortably now? Have a family? Mortgage? Obligations? I would have started over at 30 if I wasn't saddled with debt. Looking back now though, it was only debt that kept me from starting over. Now I have the family and mortgage. My priority of my happiness has changed to the my kids and raising them to be properly brought up in a proper white environment has become my goal. I want them to be productive members of society someday and not complete shitbags.

>Do you live comfortably now?
Yeah with roommates so I can save 10%and pay down them student loan
>Have a family?
Na
>Mortgage? Obligations?
Na, and about 7k left in student loans. Between tax return and yearly bonus I hope to have this paid off by August freeing up 25% of total income.
Problem is I can't see any real job I'd ever have passion for.
Good on you with the kids , don't forget to lift while you cut to keep muscle mass, shits important as u age

I was lifting pretty light at first since when I started out I was just fucking fat. I have a naturally big build and have powerlifted off and on since high school. Now I'm down under 240 lbs and 6'. I do an hour of cardio when I get to the gym in the morning just to wake up and plus cardio pisses me right the fuck off. Total waste of time. Monday I started lifting for an hour, and today I lifted for an hour properly instead of in a rage. I blasted shoulders and bi's the whole time hard. Strange thing is the older I get I don't get sore the day after a hard workout, but two days later I'm sore as fuck. I'm hoping that pumping T gel up my asshole helps with that some for the time being.

kinda busy now but I'll post some stuff later if the thread is still up

You're right, going out to get a big jar of tempeh right now!

thanks for looking out for us goobster

The same things that cause hair loss also cause low test like stress, bad eating habbits, bad sleep etc.
Alot in OP's pic is correlation and not causation. E.g. guys who lost one ball can have none of these symtoms while having only ~2/3 of the test they had before

>Are you fucking retarded?
Why? Why go for 10% absorption when I can utilize 100% of it as long as I can hold my shit in. It's called efficiency you cocksucker.

>hair loss
>sign of low test
other buzzfeed tier infographics
>hair loss
>sign of high test

well which is it?

stress, caused by factors like bad diet, lack of sleep, anxiety, etc. can cause hair loss. these factors also decrease test.

this is fine but
>Don't use too much salt
incorrect, salt is very important, more is better. unless you have some condition, salt is very beneficial, even the recommended guidelines are too low.

how small we talkin?

My score does not qualify for TRT, but the Endo got me on clomid since my HPT Axis runs just fine. When can I expect gains in load size? It's also even cheaper than Test.

I didn't say no salt, I said not too much. I didn't give amounts. just to be reasonable. you really think eating 3+g of table salt a day is healthy?
let me guess, you do keto/palo and think bacon and butter are health foods?

if you're doing lots of cardio or any other activity that causes large amounts of sweating, adjusting salt intake is necessary but for most people, using modest amounts of salt as seasoning is best, as most foods already contain sodium and excess sodium causes high blood pressure among other things. the average american consumes too much salt, I'm not telling people to stop eating any salt, just advising moderation.

Will be up, just for you my informative friend
>NO HOMO THO

actually I'm tired as fuck so I'll post some shit tomorrow. I'll make some jpg guides with nice pictures and plenty of details so anons can save and share them.

Take 25 mg of zinc daily and 100 mg of caffeine every 4 hours and you'll feel like a good while boosting test productions. I am naturally the strongest and most aesthetic in the world.

>tfw my endo (hypothyroidism) says I have low total test but no symptoms
>350 ng
>free t 12
But I'm horny af all day every day and have almost 2/3/4/5 lifts
What sorcery is this

I should mention I do have puffy nips and estro at 40. I take an AI now

So what's the difference between total and free t? What are the normal ranges for them?

Free t is the percentage that's bioavailable and unbound to SHBG.
Dunno average

I started roiding b/c I felt bad at 400, which is just above the range that you can get legal help at. 200 is really low.

Holup holup holup
low test = hair loss
and...
high test = hair loss

So test has nothing to do with hairloss.

And DHT isn't testosterone.

What's your point?

Reposting from a previous thread for a second opinion.
Just got my blood test results back and they're not good, pic related. Where do I go from here? My lifts are all falling and I feel like absolute hell. Are my numbers low enough to get TRT prescribed? My doctor said
>Your testosterone level is low. There are some extra tests that I have added on to the blood already drawn. Depending on what that shows we would probably refer you to an endocrinologist.
Does that bode well for me?

Well, you're below the "normal" range so you'll probably get offered TRT. How's your lifestyle? Good diet, getting enough sleep?

Appreciate it. Rest well user

Thanks for the reassurance, user. I lift every other day, eat clean, don't smoke or drink, and sleep 8-10 hours a night. When I brought up my symptoms my doc's first two guesses were either low T or hypothyroidism, both of which he tested for. Testosterone was the only abnormality that he found.

Nah. If youve got healthy T you will bounce back from any abuse throughout your 20's.
I could sleep 5 hours a night and live off pizza and red bull for a week, I wouldnt feel my best, but I'd still have sex drive, motivation, and zest for life.

Low T is different. I know because I got it after AAS use. Music doesnt sound good. Everything seems dark and horrible. Getting out of bed is scary. No amount of good sleep and good food fixes it. You just feel like a well rested, well fed 80 year old. You still feel like garbage in other words.

High T levels -> Good lifestyle. Not vice versa.
If your T levels are good, no amount of abuse will seriously damage them. If your T levels are shit, no amount of good living will fix it.

The only thing powerful enough to fuck T levels up are steroids, and opiates. People can bounce back from opiate damage though.

Exogenous hormones for some reason do a serious number on the endocrine system.

>24
>losing hair
>rarely ever get erections unless I'm with a girl or looking at porn, nothing spontaneous
>out of shape with anxiety from grad school

I've considered a few times of talking to my doctor about low T but I don't want to come across as someone trying to hoist a bad lifestyle on that. I had a few times with my girlfriend where I couldn't keep it up but she was a dead fish so that could also be the cause. Other times I have been raring to go.

Is taking testosterone dangerous in any way?

uniball fag

age?

Just go on Reddit SST, order from a verified source, and start blasting and cruising. Best thing I ever did. Don;t worry about the whole legality thing either. Steroids are the one drug that the law doesn't care about. As long as you aren't manufacturing or selling, the worst they'll do is seize your order.

the face of high t. if you don't look like this you're a low t beta.

when i realize that face

What changes can be perceived by rising your testosterone levels and how to do so?
