My levels were near the bottom of the normal range. Now it is above the average.
It makes a great difference in how you feel & your attitude.

Do you use gel, shots, pellets? How long before you noticed a difference? Have you had estrodiol checked since starting? PSA? (prostrate test)

Hey Gine, My T levels are on the low end of normal also ( I'm 19, and supposedly my T levels should be at the high end, above 700ng/dl, for my age. I'm at 327ng/dl, and about the same on 2 other T tests.) Was it hard to convince your doctor to give you testosterone supplementation since you are not out of the normal range?

I use the Gel. It took about a month to notice the improvement. My PSA is about 1. It has always been that low.
G
Did your estrodiol levels go up? That can diminish/cancel out the testosterone. The insert info from Androgel says in test subjects estrodiol went up significantly in all cases.

Modzak,
My estrodiol & esterone levels are still in the normal range. My yearly test is in October.
InSolitude,
My doctor was the one to mention the Gel. I was not aware of any Testo Supplements until the tests were done & I was found to be low in testosterones & high in esterogens.
I also have Mosaic Klinefelter syndrome in which I have some extra female chromosomes in some cells. In my case I have 42C breasts, small testicles, & weak sperm. I am a straight male, married with children.

zak, do you have mosaic klinefelter syndrome?
No. Just 'mixed' hypogonadism, neither primary or secondary.
