Who here has Low Testosterone?

bangbangahah · 2014-07-26T17:03:39+00:00

get testosterone prescribed, it pisses me off that people who want to be transgender are allowed to take estrogen and testosterone no problem

girl wants to be more like a guy, become more masculine? A ok

guy wants to become more like a girl, become more feminine ? A ok

guy wants to become more like a guy, become more masculine?

NOPE ,YOUR TEST LEVELS BETTER BE LOW AS FUCK OR THATS ILLEGAL AND YOUR GETTING JAIL TIME

its hard as fuck to get testosterone prescribed to men, even if you are just slightly above the low level they won't give it to you, even if you are at good levels you should still be able to go in and get it prescribed.

JSploosh · 2014-07-26T14:53:58+00:00

You are very low. Dont mess around with propecia or the ron swanson diet. You need TRT injections. Not the test cream bullshit.

Go to dangerandplay.com and read everything he has on it.

Yes its the reason for your brain fog and is whats making you a pussy.

Yes TRT will fix all that.

Do it. Yesterday.

Men's testosterone levels have dropped 30% across all populations over the last 35 years. Some blame environmental pollutants for this decline, some blame rising obesity rates, but nobody is really sure of the reason. The practical result is there are a lot more guys with clinically low testosterone levels (< 325).

If you are clinically low, and there is no medical reason for it, no special exercise program, pill, or diet will help you. One helpful thing you can try to do is lose body fat, get your body fat down below 20% if it's higher than that. Ideal is 10%, though that is hard for many men to achieve as they grow older. Body fat is like a factory that chews up testosterone and spits out estrogen.

I got on TRT a year ago and I consider it a huge benefit in my life. I have gained 30 pounds (6'1" 170 to 200) and drastically increased my strength. You still have to put the work in at the gym and have a good diet, it's not magic instant muscles. I have less anxiety, more confidence. If I find myself acting like a bitch, I get disgusted with myself. I also get disgusted if I see another male acting like a bitch. I'm less likely to allow someone to disrespect me. I wake up with wood every day and I can fuck like I'm 18 (I'm 39). My personality has changed slowly to become more alpha. Who can really say if it's the testosterone or learning red pill ideas?

There have been no negative side effects. I do HCG injections to keep my testicles the same size. I also donate blood every 3 months to keep my red blood cell level under control.

The only reason to NOT do it is if you are a very young man, you may have trouble finding a doc to prescribe. TRT can affect your fertility, so consider that if you don't have kids but want them someday. It can also shut down or reduce your natural production permanently, so you may be taking the shots for life. Personally I don't care, it only costs about $20/month and 5 minutes twice a week to do my shots.

250 here. if you have 160 don't bother with any diet / test booster bullshit. I did my best to sleep well, eat well and the best result i got was 350, which made me feeling perhaps slightly better, but caused my doctor to wait more months instead of starting me on Test C right away.

Back then I just broke up with my LTR, one of the reasons is that "she felt like we were only friends", my bad, when she came to visit for 3 weeks i only fucked her a couple of times. Initially i chalked it up to low T, but honestly I'm not sure because even before the treatment i scored a younger, tighter feminine latina (everything my ex wasn't) who made my cock explode.

I just started a few weeks ago, the doc put me on 100mg/week which should put my levels on the low end of normal (not the low end of the reference chart! that's the low end for a 90 year old). hopefully after the first blood test in october i can bump it up to 125 or 150.

Changes? For now it's a little easier to get and keep an erection, but nothing crazy. Some days I feel like I have more energy, some days i feel no changes. Could be that i need more time to experience the full effects or that 100mg is just not enough for me. But given that it is cheap and has no side effects (except for temporary low sperm count) I would suggest you try. You might get an even bigger improvement, since now you have the test levels of a 90 year old testicular cancer survivor (srs, healthy 90 year olds should have t levels higher than 160).

btw YES propecia can fuck you up! Definitely mention it to your endo.

BFMCBeaner · 2014-07-26T16:00:38+00:00

Couple years ago, I'm 39 now, I felt run down, brain fog, always hurting, absolutely wrecked if I went to the gym, getting fat, low sex drive and moody all the damn time. My ex-wife said you should get it checked out since it's not my normal cock sure attitude and my flight surgeon/doctor took the samples when I moved home to Texas from Korea and low and behold I was below 99... He said I was in andropause. Put me on bioTe pellets since I only have to do it every 6 months instead of weekly or biweekly injections and worked like a champ! Wake up with morning wood, I want to dominate again, just a complete turn around of my life.

abortionist_supreme · 2014-07-26T17:48:22+00:00

For sex drive i don't know what your personal habits are, but i tried "nofap" (abstaining from porn and masturbation) and my sex drive flew through the roof. My T levels too telling from how intense my workouts were. Especially around days 4-7. Don't abstain from sex itself though.

Axotl · 2014-07-26T20:13:29+00:00

Your doctor should have placed you on testosterone replacement therapy once he saw the test results. Did he not say anything to you at all? Do NOT seek out steroids by yourself. Please speak to your doctor and your endocrinologist, as your personal health and safety comes first before everything else.

Abstaining from wanking does NOT make a significant difference to testosterone levels, this is a myth. The damage from excess masturbation comes from having a desensitized penis from a tight grip, as well as being too receptive to hyper-feminized women in porn which would make it difficult to get a reaction from 'street' women. Both contribute to erectile dysfunction.

puaSenator · 2014-07-26T23:27:56+00:00

After I got into an accident I had to get onto TRT and that was a pain in the ass.

Right after the accident it started out with me slowly getting lazier and lazier -- like over a period of months. I first thought it was just a temporary life thing, but I could literally feel my head was different and it felt like this was permanent. Just my general ambitious positive aggression was slowly diminishing, alongside my sex drive. Then I got some bloodwork done and noticed my test number. Out of sheer curiosity I went online and looked at what the average range was and I was near the bottom of that average. And as someone who used to be highly physically active I was shocked I could be at the bottom (lower 5 percentile)

The initial doctor explained to me that my test was within normal range. When I tried to explain to them that it's NOT within normal range for someone my age, he refused to help. He was not educated on the subject at all and was just going by what his little fucking pocket guide said. Instead he just told me to stop drinking if I want my energy back.

So fast forward a month I am out in one of those evil socialist countries with free health care and got sick. So I stroll in for some drugs and also explain my test situation. He immediately aggrees and draws some blood and sends me on my way. About 10 days later he says "Yes, yes, you are right. Your testosterone is very low for someone your age." Then went on to do a jab at how American doctors should know better (you get used to this shit after a while). Then I got my test vial that day and started injecting.

At first it was scary. Putting a fucking needle into my ass? WTF? I would literally shake at times and freak out over the idea. But eventually I got over it and now I actually look forward to it. I also didn't see any changes the first month at all, and began to wonder if I biologically just naturally have low testosterone -- which seems odd because all the men in my family are on the skinnier side, but are also extremely athletic -- multiple firefighters, all school athletes, and even some of them I consider freaks of nature how athletic they are.

But then at around week 7 I started noticing the affects. It started with me noticing how much more active I was and how I now was wanting to go to the gym more and more, even to the points of looking forward to it (When I didn't have test, I would loath going to the gym and NEVER enjoyed actually working out. It was like pulling teeth with me). Then I started noticing just more proactivity and well being. I was always trying to jump into new opportunities, and just generally be more agressive.

By month 6 it was clear as day how different I had become: I just was a better person, in every way. My body fat was at an all time low even though I didn't change my diet and never touched cardio. I was hanging out with people more. Way more confident. Women seemed to also smell that shit on me. I put up with less bullshit. And had way more fun.

Then I got back to the USA and I told the doctor my situation and they didn't believe me -- thought I was a roid user which physically I clearly wasn't, though I did plan on doing a PED cycle. Oh and on a side note PED cycles increase all the positive affects tremendously. So he insisted the only way I would get a prescription would be to get off of it for several and get an updated baseline reading on it.

So 3 weeks into getting off of it, I dropped into an extremely lazy depression to the point where I couldn't even sleep. My body was pissed at me (before you start producing testosterone again, your body goes through a period of producing NO testosterone). So I said, "NOPE! FUCK THIS SHIT!" and started picking up off the black market, and I have not turned back. I will NEVER get off test and plan to keep myself within the top 10% my entire life.

First off, you have VERY LOW testosterone. I don't know your age, so let's say 24, which would mean the average amount for someone your age is near the 700s, and you are in the lower 1 percentile. Like another user said, don't use the fucking cream. Refuse it. Do whatever it takes to get the injections. The cream is shit, and dangerous because it can rub off onto women during sex. No fucking diet or OTC pill is going to significantly fix your testosterone. That shit only increases test by negligible amounts that will give you no real benefit. Just get some fucking injections and be done with it. Seriously.

Shit, I think everyone should. Why the fuck not put yourself in the upper 10% of test levels? All that negative side effect stuff is just hyperbolic garbage left over from the war on drugs. The only real side effects is an increased chance for acne, your balls temporarily getting smaller, and mild balding if you're genetically prone to it.

RPModulator · 2014-07-26T17:14:38+00:00

You're T is low as fuck. Beyond what in my experience can be fixed by optimizing diet, sleep and exercise (Although do that immediately, research it and execute). But ice showers and saturated fat and heavy deadlifts might not be enough or you might just not be able to motivate yourself.

See a doctor, get on TRT. As a rule of thumb, injections are way better than gels or oral, don't get sent away with some inferior ass gel. If you're T is that low I can't see a doc refusing you at least a starter dose of test cypionate or something.

mgtow4ever · 2014-07-26T19:30:37+00:00

I had similar problems in my life. Not sure if its Low T or not. I have a low sex drive always had. I workout and I hate it (I miss fighting, lifting weights is boring as fuck)but I want to stay healthy because I can't afford to get sick. I am bi-polar but take no meds cause they fuck me up even more, I take some heavy duty minerals which really help. I haven't felt depressed in years. I also discovered 5HTP and that was my booster. I felt like shit because I never got sleep. For three months now I have slept like a baby and haven't looked back. I started working out more still hate it but sometimes you need to do shit that you don't like. Working out has entirely completely killed my sex drive all together, I don't feel like fapping nor do I like to even pursue sex. To me its not a loss I never liked sex to begin with and I am an Asexual. (I don't find neither gender sexually appealing) One thing I recommend is that you go see a Therapist usually their is some shit festering beneath.

I am a complete Adrenalin Junky, good adrenalin high is better then sex any day.

zephyrprime · 2014-07-28T03:09:37+00:00

Yeah, you have really typical symptoms of low t. 160 is really low for a 30 year old. A lot of guys don't have t that low on their dying day in their 70's. Bad sleep, lack of motivation, and lack of taste are also common symptoms. You need injections. Get your glands inspected if that's even possible.

GuyIncognito3 · 2014-07-26T16:02:02+00:00

How likely is it having low testo when you are young?

I have very low sex drive even though i didn't masturbate since a month.

Is it worth checking it?

Would the doc prescribe me anything?

I'm 22 by the way.

barmaleo · 2014-07-26T18:43:47+00:00

I'd like to go check my numbers. I've been questioning my (feels like lifelong) apathy, adhd and lack of focus recently.

K3R3G3 · 2014-07-26T20:45:18+00:00

I've been thinking for a long time that I have this issue. I've got these same symptoms, except I probably got about 4 or 5 morning woods in the last year.

PlanB_pedofile · 2014-07-26T21:21:11+00:00

I'm an old dude and lately my sex drive is taking a nose dive. Porn doesn't do it anymore nor do I have the desire to fap.

I'm actually okay with it. Wife is hitting menopause, kids are out of the question, so her sex drive is down.

Going through the transition was nuts. Sex became less and less and it seemed that it bothered me more due to the change in routine vs the changes in us.

When I was younger I wanted to fuck or fap every day. Went on sex sprees just banging 5 times a week. Years of that gets old but the craving was from the sex drive. Now im once a month from even fapping or sex.

Head is a bit foggy but I'm working on my spiritual discipline. Before my physical urges constantly distracted me. The desire to fuck or fap was all I could think about. Now I actually want to do other things and try other things. Doing keto again and working up my 4 minute plank. I've taken more interests in knowing.

My goal is to achieve peace. The testosterone induced sexual frustrations are gone. I'm not bitchy over not getting laid. I'm also not interested in all the tits and ass. I've had my fill. Now I want to focus on my craft, skills, spirit, and knowledge.

2014-07-26T23:34:47+00:00

I'm unaware of the numbers involved in this and am not a profesional so OP if people are saying you need injections talk to your doc before taking my advice anyone else who wants to raise testosterone without creams or injections and isn't in need of medication though should consider the things I'm listing here.

More red meat.

Cut out Soy and anything with BPA or other xenoestrogens. certain soap, most plastics leech it into the things they contain and the lining of tin cans all have BPA.

Lift weights, Testosterone happens when you got to failure which means muscle exhaustion not injury two ways of doing this are higher weight with low reps or low weight and high reps.

Lose fat; fat stores estrogens and will leak them into your body over time while collecting the ones you naturally make if you can lower your fat content you will change your hormonal balance.

Quit jerking off, research shows that after 7 days you will produce more in serum testosterone by 147% of baseline.

Have more sex.

MockingDead · 2014-07-27T00:27:19+00:00

Yup. Below 140. I lift, I don't fap, eat zinc.

DragonKing2350 · 2014-07-27T02:01:43+00:00

I'm 22 and was diagnosed with low T at the beginning of this year. I went to my doctor because I always felt very tired and had no initiative to do anything. Not too mention I am 5'11" and only weighed 120lbs. My doctor tried to get me on some bullshit but I denied it. I decided to go with straight Test E injections. Yes I self medicated judge me. After two cycles I am now at 160lbs. I have so much energy and my confidence is on another level now that I'm applying everything I've learned from TRP to my everyday life. Along with noticing more girls that are eye fucking me I actually know how to approach, carry a convo, and close with them. It's badass. Only wish I did this sooner. If you want details about my cycles PM me.

thedarkerside · 2014-07-27T22:15:02+00:00

Biggest testosterone myth is that it causes more aggressiveness. Not been my experience. If anything it has calmed me down, made me more laid back and relaxed.

Having said that, Roid Rage does exist, but you need to be severely over what is considered normal for quite some time.

As for the rest, go see the endocrinologist and work with them, they'd do a bunch of tests and then probably dial you into a dose, that's better than this "self-medicating" I read on here all the time.

hohamocha · 2014-07-28T18:48:56+00:00

http://www.muscleforlife.com/how-to-increase-testosterone/

This guy had 11 ng/dl (due to brain tumor) and naturally increased his testosterone to over 1000 ng/dl. Without the aid of testosterone supplements or testosterone shots/steroids.

Kernes · 2014-07-28T19:25:18+00:00

AFAIK If you start regularly take testosterone then your body stops producing its own.

FusionPhysics · 2014-07-26T16:52:06+00:00

Maybe you knew this but don't ever masturbate either.

doritoesNcoffee · 2014-07-27T03:26:53+00:00

I suggest taking zinc supplement, around 50mg a day to increase your sperm count as it is increased by your testosterone. I've been taking zinc supplements for about a year now, your sexual drive will sky rocket.

Also, try to cut out beer and coffee. They contain estrogen which will fuck with your testosterone levels. Another thing big thing is binge drinking, basically turns your testosterone into estrogen.

Movonnow · 2014-07-26T20:24:32+00:00

try nofap. definitely raised my T.

klukluxkafka · 2014-07-26T20:47:44+00:00

I don't know if I have low testosterone or just apathy as a symptom of schizoaffective disorder. I am impotent as a result of Risperdal. Honestly I don't miss it as I'd much rather devote my energies to reading books. Right now I am in the process of reading 5 books at a time (Ulysses, Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, History of the Jews, Intellectuals, American Pastoral). I can concentrate really well and thats all i care about.

aditas · 2014-07-26T17:37:50+00:00

I bet you don't lift. Am I right?
