So after accidentally wandering into the "IsItLowT ?" website, and taking their 'Have You Got Low Testosterone ?" online quiz, it informed me, in no uncertain terms that I have Low Testosterone, with its accompanying fat-gain, loss of libido, irritability and general loss of manly ambition and drive.
Has anyone else got the (shrivelled) balls to admit this, and has anyone had the treatment that I'll almost certainly 'Ask my doctor about' ?
For the record, despite being nearly 40, I've never been able to grow proper side-burns or a beard, and have never really had any great sex-drive or ambition. Thoughts ?

"...im not a doctor, but i play as one on NT"
- Is this something I've said ?mikotondria3
- no, there used to be a tv commercial in the early 1980s about actors from tv...e-pill
- from the soap opera General Hospital one of the doctors was in a Tylenol commercial..e-pill
- the tagline- "I'm not a doctor, but i play one on tv, and most doctors recommend.. etc"e-pill
- so i flipped it..e-pill

i can't grow sideburns or a beard either and i don't think it has anything to do with low testosterone. that stuff is genetic.
- yes, genetically low testosterone. ya wussy.set
- Curious. My brother can't either, but my dad is a full chunky hairy faced man. Our mom isn't though - must be her genes..mikotondria3

Oh Yeah...mine bottomed out at 200- went to doctor for "T" shots once a week for a month leveled out around 700 - started once every 2 weeks and using andro gel - not too bad- but the shots are awesome- I attributed mine to the fact of being 40lbs overweight, married for over 13 years and I drink like a fish- I still drink just not as much and Ive dropped 15lbs (going on 20)- tried to lose the wife but she keeps finding her way home-

you didn´t mention if you´re ok with your present situation? if you´re not suffering or aren´t somehow unhappy i´d avoid going on meds.

i got snipped last year - kinda took the punch out of my sex drive - but all worked out ok because i kinda annoyed my wife with the twice-a-day attempts at getting laid.
and don't get down on yourself. high testosterone is kind of a drag. all the shaving becomes tiresome.

Yeh, thanks each - I've always kinda been happy with looking considerably younger than I am - it does give you a certain perspective on people, and its something to hide behind.
Just lately I've really noticed a dip in my oomph, no interest in sex at all, literally going all day not having one sexual thought, and the wife and I get on better if we do it more.
I've also noticed a general lack of willingness to be ambitious with my work - content to just pump out the same old stuff, happy with earning enough to get us by, not striving to earn x so we can do/get y. Some of that might just be wisdom, sure, but Im losing strength and motivation and it's pissing me off - I want to be witty and smart and driven and creative again, not this acquiescent blob.

First off kudos for the refreshing honesty dude, not like the classic, i get laid 20 times a day bs most forum males spout (im not saying that qbn is like that).
First off as said, do some exercise.
It compliments everything really. Its the first thing a doctor will say to someone if they have insomnia. are depressed, lacking self confidence...all sorts!It really helps everything. Your approaching 40, so some low impact exercise like swimming or cycling would be great, it will avoid any knee damage.
And if you really want to try and raise your testosterone levels naturally, exercise will help, but specifically weight training will as it stimulates growth hormone production (as well as testosterone).
The problem there is youre approaching 40 and weight training can be harsh on joints if done incorrectly.
You could do weights but aim for high reps like 20 reps a set as that wont be so hard on your joints. Weights exercises could be the staple basics - Bench press, Pull ups (assisted ones, like feet on the floor, or a counter weight pulley machine, to go for 20reps), and Squats (body weight).
You could then supplement the basics with loads of other weight exercises, curls, rows, kickbacks, tricep extensions, shoulder press etc etc
Do exercise for a month and make a reassessment, if it isnt working then consider seeing a doctor for meds if thats what you think is next.
Hope that made sense :/

thanks mydo, qbn ftw!Hombre_Lobo - Hombre, He's approaching 40, not 70. His joints are probably fine with lifting. I do it regularly and I'm closer to 50.CyBrain
