Your Testosterone is quite low. What did docs say?

Do you have ranges for Oestradiol?

Thank you for this. The doctor said "you are normal" and its in your head. He wont refer me to an endo because he said there is nothing they can do if the results are normal. I have now arranged to pay privite to see one.

The only info I have for Oestradiol was 82pmol/L (< 161)
Thank you for your time.

Hello all

My testosterone levels have been declining since tthe 2 years i crash and been off fin. When i was first tested its was
12.5 on a scale of 8-30
then
11 on a scale of 8-30
then
10 on a scale of 8-30
Now
8 on a scale of 8-30

As you can see over 2 years its dropped 4.5. I have no idea what is was before or whilst on fin, but clearly my bodys ability is declining

I am meeting with my doctor tomorrow to dicssus hormone replacement theropy which I suspect will be for life. Is there any advice for what I should be pushing for. Im 33 years old.

Please could someone advise.

Do some research here. There is a lot of information about hormone related therapies. I would stay away from lifelong hormone replacement for now.
