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.

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.

No. Just 'mixed' hypogonadism, neither primary or secondary.

Did hormone therapy help masculinize your appearence significantly? At what age did you start and for how long have you been on it?
