Title: Tomorrow is my tests
Post by: Larisa on January 28, 2018, 09:31:47 AM
So I have my blood tests for my t levels. Im not so nervous about a needle. Im nervous that either they are so low that trt is brought up which means I have to find a way to explain why I wont take that. If they are higher, I have to find a way to explain why I want to lower those levels.

I did talk to my therapist about this. I told him the higher t levels just make me feel awful. Depressed, angry and I just dont feel okay. I told him lower levels of t seem to make me feel calm, happy and I start to feel right.

Im hoping there is a way to keep these levels low. Im hoping and this is hoping is all. I was on finasteride and got off it about 3 months ago. I went through some bad side effects for a week or so. I was told it can cause permanent low t levels. Im so hoping it caused that as I heard some others had it happen. If so, than Im safe.

I just do hope this goes right! I know Ive always had low t but knowing how low would really help me out.
