Low Free T need advice
ad
I am 44 years old and just diagnosed with low free T. I am experiencing all the textbook symptoms of low T. My total t and other hormone levels are testing in the low part of the normal range. My free t is 10ng low. I want to start TRT on my own because kaiser sucks and doesn't want to help me. I could use some advice I want to go up to the high side of the range.

Let me know if you need any other results
Based off of this and your age, you are fine. Try looking into maybe your diet choices, stress levels, blood pressure, e.t.c. They wont give you trt because you don't need it.
Post your bloodwork. Low free test by 10nl is not enough to be put on trt. You need to ask or find out why only that is low and the bloodwork is the first indicator. Let us see it. Otherwise we are not getting the whole story and you won't get a cosigner.
Jeff, I just bumped a thread on increasing test, check out the advice on Tongkat Ali
Its beside this thread in the forum
Well, shred,
I know it isn't something to be taken lightly. I have extensive experience in emergency and para medicine... I also would definitely get my levels checked. If is like pulling teeth on a rattlesnake to get kaiser to do what they are supposed to do...
AnonI know an older guy who started TRT this year.
He's taking 100mg of Test C a week. At week 6 he got blood work done and his E was high so his doc prescribed anastrozole (arimedex) 1mg to be taken twice a week. He has to get bloods again soon to see where his E is at now and then what they do from there I don't know. 100mg a week brought him up from a low total T of around 200 ng/dl to nearly 800...everyone is different, I'm just telling you what 100mg of Test C a week did for some old guy I know.
100mg of Test C a week could cause high estrogen, high enough that other drugs are required. So if you go down the self administered TRT road you better have an AI on hand and get blood work done.
I'm not telling you it's a good idea to start self administered TRT. I'm saying if you do it's a good idea to have everything you need or might need on hand first and get blood work.
Manateeswimmer5678Maybe try boron first to increase free t before resorting to trt since you said free t is the issue
Seconded. That shit changed my life. It seriously worked for me. Didn't get blood work, but the difference I felt was night and day. But OP probably really does need TRT. Boron would be a good addition though.
Manateeswimmer5678Yes man absolutely agree!!
josipgatesyou could start with 150mg test e or cyp per week, it should keep u in higher normal range,do your bloods week 4 so u can adjust the dosage and for free t some proviron will do the job 25mg per day
No. He has low free test not regular test. He won't get prescribed trt because that's not the issue. Don't just throw out advice without reading everything.
It's his health not yours and your advice could be bad considering you haven't even seen his bloodwork then again noone has.
