I think I have low T

[LisaMarieDayon]

I was slightly below normal (upper 200's) when I was tested in April of 2020 before I started my HRT. Not that it matters, but I've been on Estrodial and Spiro for 9 months now and my Estrogen is 193 and my Testosterone is only 3.

I may some low T but at my age I'm not overly concerned, as I'm still functioning normally. I do have body hair loss and breast growth which I find beneficial .

[Sometimes Steffi]

I do ... I do have low T. I hope I can get a patch and not the shot.

I?ve been on treatments for over a decade. I started with gel, then patches. I?ve been doing shots for the last several years and absolutely prefer injections. Once a week in thigh muscle and it?s done.

I never had the ability to grow a beard without bare spots before treatments. A beard is a plus for me. But, with the beard comes lots of extra body hair, which is a minus. Info included with vial warns of ?male pattern baldness? which has not been a problem for me. Good luck whatever you decide.

I'm in the low normal range. I've thought about starting TRT just to help with weight loss. But I also think that if my doctor were to recommend hormone therapy that I might ask instead about female hormones.

That's all wishful thinking, though. She knows my wife well - something might slip during a conversation.

I have never had leg hair and all normal hair sites are very scarce. About 10 years ago my DR put me on the T Gel but it had no effect. my T number is in the middle single digits. My dressing is influenced by my mental attitude. Presently I average about one day a week that I dress. I do not leave the house except when I have a good reason (DR appointments, food shopping, giving support to my GG friend 100 miles away.
So I would guess that old age is the primary reason for hair loss. like male pattern baldness (Which some women also get).

Kelli, That something might be the Dr telling your wife how your breasts are developing quite nicely and that it is a good thing you have like 50 Soma bras you can now fill.
Oh to be a fly on that wall

Get your full blood work done - hyperthyroidism can have a range of effects on muscles, such as wasting and other effects low libido etc, hair loss.

Self diagnosis, even among trained physicians, is usually inaccurate.
