Well there ya have it, /fit/, I'm clinically low T.
Definitely explains why I feel like garbage more than not, low motivation, slow progress in the gym, etc.
Now instead of figuring out / dosing TRT myself (tumbled $500 in BTC in preparation), I can go to a doc and get prescribed pharm grade test.
I'm actually a little relieved to know why I feel crappy despite eating clean, getting sufficient (high quality) sleep, etc. But I can't escape high stress work.
Just got the results - any other fitizens in a similar situation?

This. I'm curious to see what someone with low t looks like. I suspect I might have low t myself. Pls op.

Can I just go to my doc and ask for this test? Canadafag here.
Yes, been incercerated for an old assault warrant and just released. I was blasting high deca/test when i was arrested four months back and i feel like shit despite doing bodyweight exercises the entire time.
My test/tren should be arriving soon absolutely cannot wait to start pining again, the difference is night and day

Yes, Where in Canada are you?

If you self medicate you are breaking the law depending what country you live in. If you buy drugs on the black market you may not be getting what your expect.
If done through a DR you will get the read deal and have side effect managed by a professions. That said not all DR's are equal.

My doc is young and cool. How many vials of blood did they draw?
>>40090663
Yes and it was life changing. My DR wanted to do anti depressants and refused to do the blood work to rule out Low T I fired that DR on the spot. Got a new DR who did a full panel then a second. She then put me in touch with DR that specializes in Low T.
I cannot stress how better my life is.

1 or 2 vials I cannot remember. Your DR who is not a specialist will need help and to be frank you want a DR who knows this and specializes.
Toronto has several DR's that do Low T google is your friend.
Ask your DR for the following bloodwork. Skip the PSA they will make you pay for it unless a specialist asks for it. Which he will if he doesn't wrong DR.
TT
FT
E2
LH/FSH - MUST be done before TRT is started
CBC
ALT/AST
Fasting glucose and cholesterol
TSH, fT3, fT4
If younger, prolactin

Also the clinic setup fees will be 250 to 500 which wont be covered by OHIP or insurance unless you have a super plan.
Worth every penny.
