Thought I would update my status.
Saw an endo....long story short, went over everything and he said he wants to put me on testim, get blood work in 4 weeks, and see me again in 6 weeks. this was earlier this week, and I've just had the testim sitting at my house because I don't think this is the best idea. With my test at about 210, wouldn't taking testim suppress my natural test levels even further? I'm only 20, I have no interest in getting on TRT for life....I definitely plan on having kids one day.
I was thinking of calling him tomorrow and expressing my concern that this would be taking a step backwards instead of forward....he seems to think that the testim could 'boost' my levels though. Sure it could give me a boost, but as soon as I get off, wouldn't there be a strong possibility that my levels would be LOWER than the 210 they started out as due to the testim shutting my natural test production down?
If he doesn't do anything else, what should I do? I just want to feel normal again, I'm tired of being so lethargic everyday. Getting an appointment with an endo where I'm at is a MINIMUM of 3 weeks anywhere, I'm almost wanting to just get clomid myself and see what happens.
I would appreciate any feedback. It sucks being this young and not only having this low testosterone to deal with, but the fact that I'm having to question my own Dr's logic on something he should know be very familiar with.
