How many here actually need HRT?

[saudades]

I'm curious how many here actually need HRT--that is, having been diagnosed with a low level via a blood test and been prescribed test. I've been hearing of a lot more people doing this lately, and the number seems to be rising rather quickly.

Well with my choices I imagine that's where I'm headed

I do, but I also did it to myself... intentionally. My levels were 92ng/dl and I adjust my dosing to get the amount I want prescribed. Screw nature. I don't want to be normal. I don't want to live a normal life. You can live within the B.S. system that our government has in place and stay like the all the other "also rans" or you can use the system. I use it.

I was on HRT for a short while......Started with androgel then the CYP. I went on HCG/HMG therapy and got my normal test levels back.

IGF and HGH also helped in aiding my normal test levels and eliminating deppresion which was amazing.

I tested on the bottom end of normal but the doc said he wouldn't give it to me even if I was low. LOL. I am going to get a full metabolic panel ran when I get my thyroid rechecked in 3 weeks and will let you know how that goes.

I have been on Hrt for 5 years since I was 40. My T levels was low normal at 320. I have been on andro gel. However since then I have switched to a cream of 7.5% solution made by compound pharmacy(its 1/10 the price). I feel like I am 25 again. EVERY morning their is the good ol morning wood. Best thing it is all perfectly legal. I have a prescription. If you are forty and over go to an endo doctor and get tested. I was tired all the time and depressed with no sex drive. It was driving me crazy. Some quacks wanted me on anti depressants but I knew it was my t levels. I pitched my facts to the Doctor and he agreed. Feeling great ever since. You need clomid too though 25 mg a day to keep the nut sack working. Big nuts big muscles. What a way to go through life and lovin it.... in California

i think men naturally have low test after 30. Whats changed is the medical fields desire to boost it back up to where it was when you where younger.

i think its more economic than anything.

but a lot of men are having more fuller lives. So its a good thing i guess. well.... minus that turd who's 45 and acting like a teen....

^ ^ ^ I wonder about that. Some doctors are ready and willing to prescribe, but others will still leave you low even if you are under the limit because they think it's still all in your head. For me, this means there is still a large deal of education that needs to be done.
