Hey guys just curious as to how many (if any) in this group has started trt at a baseline tt of 400+ and what your free t level was at baseline as well.
How do you feel now that your on trt, is there any regrets?
Thanks.

So my doctor is insisting I get off testosterone.
I averaged around 380-450 tt, 340 was the lowest and 512 being the highest but not for long and with supplements. My free t averaged 7-8 and 11 being the highest I’ve seen it, symptoms didn’t resolve though.

My GP is saying I must come off of it I told him I feel way better than I ever have even when I was in my 20s and I’m 37 now. He said it’s a big mistake and that my levels were average for a guy my age and Yada Yada Yada.

I then some how come across a video of a dr named Abraham Morgentaler a urologist who has studied testosterone for 30+ years and he was speaking about testosterone total of 400-450 being normal in middle aged men and 500 in young men. So now with my doctor on my case and seeing this video it’s making me feel like I have regrets and shouldn’t have started. But I feel good so I duno :person_shrugging:

I don’t understand this. A doctor prescribed you TRT and now a doctor is saying come off?

Your TT may be low normal but your FT looks to be even worse. Does he not know that you need to look at more than TT?

Sorry i should have been more specific, im from canada and my gp would never prescribe testosterone with the levels i had so i went to a “mens health clinic” and the doctor there prescribed me compounded scrotal cream.
Ive been on for 1 year now.

Its my family doctor that is telling me to come off and the cardiologist i talked to which comes to my family doctors clinic from time to time.

I tried to tell him about free t and he was just saying it was it the normal range and that i should have been looking into life style changes and not trt. Which i had done, and i told him but he just shook his head lol. Maybe time to find a new gp. Problem is its impossible in alberta to switch GP’s these days.

So ya thanks for confirming what justified me to start trt at this mens health clinic that my free t was in the crapper.
