Hey guys, first post! - Here it goes:

About 2 months ago I had my doctor check my Vitamin D levels and thought: "Why not check my Test levels, my libido seems kinda low..." Had subjectively felt low to me for years (get distracted during sex, that really sucks).

First some data!

Age: 33 this year
Height: 6.1ft (186cm)
Weight: 216lbs (98kg)
BF: 25% (I'm still a fat fcker, but I'm working on it, lost around 9lb - 4.5kg in the past 3 weeks/around 25lb down past 14months)
Started weight-lifting 3 times a week about 3-4 months ago.

Now for some blood work:

First in the afternoon, non-fasted:
Total Test: 1.89ng/ml (healthy range 3-9!)
CRP: 4.2mg/l (healthy up to 5)
SHBG: 20.3 nmol/l (healthy 10-73)

About 2 weeks later, in the morning, fasted: (This was taken by the Dr. I was then referred to, an endocrinologist)
Test (different scaling): 9.9nmol/l (The cutoff in the US is 9.9, in the EU it is 12; so either RIGHT on the bottom end or a good bit below it).
Other measurements normal ranges.

If you're still with me, thank you very much for your dedication and here are the options I keep pondering, really only one of which involves my doctor:

1. Doctor said I could use testo-gel. I'm not the biggest fan of that since I'd have to keep going for life. Brings a slew of problems: shrinking nuts (atrophy), possible problems with fertility, likely hair-loss increasing.
   The test gel is "Testogel", I believe the daily dose is 50mg.

2. My own idea (asked the doc on the phone after researching, he was NOT THRILLED, seemed a bit small-minded to me):
   Try some HGH first off all... My thought process:

- Helps get rid of fat. Speeds my healthy low-carb-diet. Thereby increasing Testosterone AND overall health in the long term, passively.
- would by some accounts increase libido quite a bit and testosterone marginally (directly as opposed to indirectly by fat reduction).
- got the hope it would fix some minor niggles and scrapes, might also affect my very mild psoriasis
- The side-effects are WAY less... At most some minor sides (1.5-3.5IU/day) that are temporary as opposed to opening Pandora's box with permanent Test-supplementation.
(100IU HGH is actually incoming, doctor be damned :D)

3. This one I didn't ask him about, because the idea came later and is more of a question to you guys:
   Could one inject Test Prop subcutaneous on a "when needed"-basis? I'm talking small amounts on days that I'll see my girl (which is about once every 1-3 weeks, so not as often as the average relationship). My well-being is actually very decent, but the "getting distracted mid-sex" is pissing me off something fierce. (she's hot, so that's not the problem... :D).
   Concerns:

- How would I be looking in terms of atrophy? Would giving a small prop shot (to temporary raise blood levels from say 3ng/l to 9-10ng/l) cause atrophy? And if so, for how long?
- I'm not concerned about sc-pinning... Amounts would be so small and infrequent that I can't see a problem with decent hygiene. Haven't researched water-based test yet, if there is such a thing?

4. Mild subcutaneous oil-test-depot like once a week. Say around 100-200mg week? How are we looking with fertility and atrophy long term?Anything I can do to prevent it?

5. Do an actual cycle to see if the additional muscle-mass and missing fat makes a difference? Kind of like a reboot? - Got ZERO scientific base for this theory, though... Stab in the dark, but some of you are bound to know if something like this even possible?

If you got this far you deserve some kind of medal! And I barely even scratched the surface!

Is there any ideas you guys have for me? I got to admit I almost trust you guys more than the doctor. A doctor merely has patients. You guys test all kinds of things 'err single day on YOURSELVES! I read up a bit over the past days and there is some SERIOUSLY smart and knowledgeable guys'n'gals on here!

Lay it on me guys! ANY knowledge you could drop on my dilemma would be MUCH appreciated!
