Hey guys I’m 23 years old and I’ve had a undescended my whole life. One testicle is completely descended while the other one is partially descended. Over the past few years I always had blood work done and it showed that my free floating T levels have been very low for my age group. We are talking boarder line below the reference range. I have always wanted to try out T therapy but my docs always told me that I’m to young and that my testicles would be sterile etc if i started using T therapy at such a young age.
I recently had some blood work done and it showed that my free floating testosterone level has changed a lot since last year. The lab work was done through Quest Diagnostics. The reference range for free floating T for Quest is 35.0-155.0 pg/mL. Last year I had a value of 145 pg/mL and now my free floating T value is at 88.1 pg/mL. Is this normal? I scheduled an appointment with my doctor for next week.
The only difference was that last year when I got my blood work done I was on this supplement called Deer Antler velvet. I’m assuming thats the reason why my T levels went up. The reason why I’m posting all this information is because I’m tired of always feeling some what foggy mentally as if my brain is on ice. Low T has been a distraction to my life. I want to get started on some sort of a T replacement therapy mainly because I don’t know if its safe to take a supplement like deer antler for a extended period of time. I would really appreciate some good feedback on how to approach this.
