What are My Chances of Getting Prescribed TRT?

Hi all,

I got some blood work done from Quest my free and total where 413ng/dl and 76.8pg/ml. I am 32 y/o, 5’9" and180lb. I’ve been having mood, concentration and energy symptoms. My body composition has also become a lot harder to maintain and would like to know my chances of getting TRT. I haven’t done any cycles or prohormones in years and never abused them but the last time did Hdrol in 2009 it shut me down hard. I live in the Philadelphia area if anyone can recommend a doc. Thanks all!

Bump. Can anyone chime in? I’m about 180 lbs 5’9. Trying to get back in the gum regularly but my energy levels are shot.

I don’t know your part of the country. But if you go to a low T clinic I would say pretty good. A standard doctor not good at all. You need to read the info at the top of this forum. It will get you started out right. And teach you what questions you should be asking and what everyone is going to need to know in order to help you

Please read the stickies found here: About the T Replacement Category - #2 by KSman

  • advice for new guys - need more info about you
  • things that damage your hormones
  • protocol for injections
  • finding a TRT doc

At your age, we should be looking for a correctable cause. Low-T is the symptom. We need to know these lab results that impact T levels and energy:

  • LH/FSH
  • E2 - estradiol
  • prolactin
  • AM cortisol - at 8AM please
  • AST/ALT
  • CBC
  • hematocrit
  • fasting glucose
  • fasting cholesterol
  • TSH - these three if body temps are low
  • fT3
  • fT4
  • AM cortisol

Thyroid gland, using fT3, regulates your energy levels as part of the body temperature control loop. Check oral body temperatures to eval overall thyroid function as per thyroid basics sticky. Thyroid function can be low if not using iodized salt.

Symptoms of low T and low thyroid function are mostly the same.
If outer eyebrow are sparse, that is unique to thyroid. Also feeling cold easily.

Your T levels are in no-man’s land.

Energy levels are more than your testosterone status. As well as thyroid, cortisol can be low and there can be adrenal and stress issues.

Look at the bigger picture.

Many thanks, I found some more labs and posted them above. I’m in northeast so I’m trying to make an appt with Dr Overbeck. Hopefully he will get me back on track.

Thanks for your reply. I found some more bloodwork and posted it above. I’m also trying to schedule an appt with Dr Overbeck.

I do not know anything about Dr. Overbeck. But you still need to read up on the stickies in self defense as many doctors will do the wrong things. You cannot be passive.

Without the lab data I was seeking, I cannot steer this process.

You can still respond to the iodized salt issue and post your body temperatures.
More info about you is important as well, see the stickies.
