Title: Pre-HRT with history of low T
Post by: SammyGirl on January 08, 2017, 12:53:43 AM
For as long as I can remember I have always had low T levels.  Over seven years ago (39yrs ) it was a problem I had to deal with when my wife and I were trying to conceive.  Luckily we finally were blessed with a little boy.  Recently I had to get a blood test and as luck would have it the test results also covered the sex hormones

My question is if my T levels have always been on the low side (going as far back to my 20's) does this have implications that when I finally start HRT (sometime this spring hopefully) that my body might respond better?
