Anyone else have low T? I am just starting testosterone - don't know why in past few months it seems low. Maybe it has always been low but starting to feel some symptoms of it but may just be in hd

There are a lot of things that can cause low testosterone but you are too young to be on testosterone replacement therapy. There are other avenues to pursue. You need to find a good endocrinologist. In fact, find out who the local transgendered community in your city uses (in DC that's Christopher West) and these folks know how to regulate t levels and understand these medical KPIs very well.

Gotcha- don't be discouraged but DO find a better practitioner who can help you manage this and design a solution. Yes you have a few moving parts, but a good endocrinologist will work out a refining. Also suggest getting your metabolic rate and cortisol tested. You've got this. Find a new doctor. And, not to give any credit to D1 who is probably off bleaching his asshole rn, but there is some merit to being physically active. Depression and stressful jobs can contribute to what you're experiencing.

Have you verified that it's low? This can be verified with a simple blood test from your doctor, just in case you haven't done that. I only ask because you said "seems"

T is supposed to be 500-1000 and mine was 200. Clomiphene brought me to 480 but symptoms (less drive, less other things, longer to do things) persisted. Stress and overweight def play a part but that has been constant not a recent change

Clomiphene 25mg daily. Typically used to increase oestrogen levels in women but in men in low doses it increases testosterone production. Changed my life. See an endocrinologist.

So now just started axiron but am worried it'll make me sterile bc once you are taking testosterone doesn't it make your own boys stop making it? Ugh.
