I go in for a blood test for my t levels in a week. I know they are very low. Im nervous about needles but am more nervous that when they see just how low my levels are, my doctor might suggest trt for me. That of which would be horrible. Im lucky to have such low levels that I never had stuff like broad shoulders happen. I am lucky to have as many female traits as I do since my body had low t levels since the beginning of puberty.

I have to have the tests for a few reasons. I know I can say no to trt if my doctor talks about it. I just hope it's not offered. I do not know what it's like to deal with some of that male body stuff since I never developed some of it due to low levels and it wouldnt be me! I deal with some female body issues due to low levels and there is no way Ill give it up! Im thankful everyday to even be where I am! So many are not so lucky!

I'm not sure where you are, but you could say, "hormones?  How about Estrogen instead?". I'm actually half serious.

Your Dr probably has seen/heard it all.  You never know, maybe you'll be on your way before you know it.

Depending on where you want to go, ask for estrogen instead. I was in a a similar place. T dropped so low I needed to do something. I took it as a perfect opportunity to get HRT instead. :)
