dme.diagnosed with Low T at 37. My #was 223. I could have entire Playmate calender standing in my living room and would want them to move out from in front of TV....if i was awake.

Take .55ml 2x week and now my levels are 1150. Sex 5x a week. Wife is very satisfied.

Wow! A decade is a long time. You don't mention your age at diagnosis. I am in my mid 70s, and have been giving myself shots for 6 months now.. No longer use any PDE5 inhibitor, my libido is like when was in my 20s. It took awhile to find a doctor who would work with me because had prostate cancer decades ago. The urologist who treated me for cancer ended up being the only one of five doctors who would agree to treat me.

My GP still tells me if he had his way, I would stop, says my T was normal low for my age and just need to accept that is part of getting old. Would like to talk with him again when he is older (he is in his 50s) and see if he still believes the same. Or maybe his wife isn't interested in intimacy so he wishes his libido was low.

That is like saying quit taking BP meds as your BP is normal for someone your weight.

My GP is leery about prescribing T. I go to urologist younger than me who has low T and takes it himself.

Id assume she is tired of hearing a plan and is ready to see actions. This is so fixable and as a wife of someone with this same issue, I get pretty pissed off when he isn’t staying compliant with his treatment.

Dr could have called in a script right then and he would be GTG now.

I understand guys being pissed at wives who refuse HRT after menopause or hystorectomy and they are good w/o sex because they do not want it any more. Either sex to me is a divorce worthy issue if they refuse to correct it.

Still on the low end.

I don't produce Testosterone anymore.
So if you look at it from a standpoint of zero produced, it's pretty good.
All my symptoms are resolved except libido. I don't think I have enough.
But I have to be realistic. When I was younger, sex 4,5,6 times a day (or the want to have) was the norm.
I think once or twice a day is acceptable for someone in their late 50's.
I do need to get it tuned a bit more as I would like it a bit higher. Perhaps 400 to 500 range.

My urologist and another Dr that started me on HRT. Said they like to see men around 1100...it is where they feel best. I was taking 1cc weekly, my urologist had me do .55 2x week. I can tell a difference, there is not tiredness lag a day or two before the shot now.

Just lowered to .5 and go back in 2 months to recheck blood. T level was at 1500 in Dec. and he said, "Yeah we are gonna back down a little, you body is really taking the HRT well" my free test was also over max. He was impressed as he is very fit/body building, is about 5-7 yrs younger and my #s were better than his. I also take boron and D3 daily to help with that.

I've been on TRT for over 10 years now.

I use gel. I know from experience when a new company starts supplying the gel, sometimes the affect isn't as effective as what the claims are.
I find this with the generics that come out of China. No big deal. I get tested, doc makes a change in strength, and I tell the pharmacist no more generic until they change the supply company.

Remember, it's not the destination. It's the journey.

I was on gel for a bit, only got me to 400 range and it was not enough. Dr said some absorb better than others. I had to go to injections.
