test levels checked need help guys

[italian_muscle]

hello to all i went to my family doctor to get an annual check up and also got my testosterone level checked and this is what i got.
testosterone 12.7 reference range : m: 8.0 - 38.0 nmol/L
if any one can shed some light on the this is this a low level ?

[ubcpower]

haha im no doctor, but you appear to be in the low range...is this a trick question?
obviously, its not low enough to get put on some sort of hrt , unless your doctor is very understand ........
However, time of day and amount of hard high intensity training done around the time of the test could have an affect on the results.

Dude, I got mine checked a few yrs ago and got a 8.4 or 8.6 and the guy wouldn't do anything. Fuck, it's like I'm running off of 1 ball!

It's simple you're in the very low/normal range and you need to do something about it. 100-200 mgs per week of testE or cyp would be the answer IMO, but good luck in dealing with a GP of even an endo and getting on some type of HRT right away.

I agree with ps, also just gotta keep razzin your GP that you just don't feel 100%.....

If you're suffering symptoms such as moodiness and irritablity, loss of libido, poor sleep, loss of interest in things you used to enjoy, and shutting off from family and friends, tell the doctor. If he's a good doc, he'll take this into account along with your low test and may put you on HRT. Unlikely he'll give you a script if you don't have symptoms.

I'm going to try again in about a yr once I'm well away from my next show, and see what a different doc says.

I tested at 5.7 and all my dr gave me was andriol.....but Im hoping I can convince him to give me injections....or at the very least get some gel

[Demonwolf]

can't remember; is that the liquid gels? if so, you can easily make injectable from it I believe?

[powder925]

yes....they are the gel caps.didn't know you could inject them

[Demonwolf]

ya, it's undecanoate. long ester test like in sustenon.
I'm sure there is info somewhere on here or the net on how to safely inject it...

When I got tested I tested 8 and the normal range was between 12 and 28 so I was told.
My doc at the time was a South African doctor who immediately put me on 200mg/week of Test E. Going on 3+ years now of HRT and what a difference it's made for me.

I've moved since then but have had run-ins with other doctors and from my experiences if you can find someone who's South African trained, they are much more open to HRT than Canadian trained and practicing doctors. Just my 2 cents though.

200mg? Per week? Wow, that's definitely above normal protocol.
~100mg every 2.5 weeks. At least that's what my fathers are on.

whats your blood work look like at this dose?.....I finally convince my dr to switch me to injections and 125mg per week is putting me right at the top of the range
