Please Scroll Down to See Forums Below My Dr. keeps telling me my very low testosterone level of 320ng/dl is normal (I am only 20 years old). He wont belive me that it is LOW so I need to show him some proof, like a chart of testosterone levels by age group. I'd like to get a few of them, especially if its from a well respected lab or organization etc... so he doesnt think it's bs. I found a couple but need a few more to slap in his face, if anyone has one saved or a link to one, I'd really appreciate it. thanks

Unlikely the guy is ever gonna just hand you a bottle of test bro. My advice would be to find another Doctor. I explain all the symtoms of lack of sex drive and tiredness. Most Docs in the US would atleast give you a patch, not sure for the canucks though.
Thats the thing i DONT want HRT (trt) thats the LAST thing I would want. I want him to treat me with hcg or something to bring my natural test back up to a healthy level, right now im at an 80 year old man's level. As far as finding another doctor, this is the endocrinologist my family doctor reffered so I think its a take him or nothing kind of thing. But if i can find some more charts showing healthy test levels by age groups so I can show him he might change his mind. (plus this way my insurance would cover the meds, unlike if i were to buy from some guy). The lab that did my test says between 73ng/dl and 520ng/dl is normal, theres no age group just general range.

Honestly bud... even though I understand your frustration... I doubt a licensed endocrinologist who has been to school for half his life would really give a shit what a 20 year old kid finds. Even if you did show him a chart of some sort, he's not going to change his mind. Sorry bro... self medicate 
What made you go to the doctor in the first place?
Another question...how is ur growth?
What else did the test say? Was it a full panel test or just a total testosterone test and that's it?
How are your nuts...did they shrink lately or about the same?
My advice is for you to do another test after you rest for a few days and eat well. If it's low then you have a pattern developing
Just because you have a test done and it's low it doesn;t mean much at 20!

He is saying for any male that is in this range is noraml. So whether you are 15 or 50 if your in this range you are considered normal. The problem is there is no age range so a 20 year test lelvels are going to be different from a 50 year olds. And that what he wants to prove. He needs a chart of the average test levels of men at his age.

this might help
won't matter to him if you show him "proof" the reality of it is you are just like a guy asking for pain pills, the system is set up to not give it to you..
go to a different doc, a life extent ion or endo specialist, they will be more than willing to help you out..
plus, your insurance may not cover you.. after all, it's them that determine your level of health care.. not doctors..
All true. You aren't clinically low -- just on the low side. And there is no treatment to raise testosterone. HCG will only elevate it for about a week. You'd be best off using UNLEASHED and Sustain daily.
I understand that but I want to find out why I am this low. My brother who is a year younger and my cousin who's the same age,same height ,weight eat the same food'exercise the same way and took steroids before too had his levels checked last year and both were above 800 so I want to find out what is causing my hpta to think 300 is enough , is it sending enough lh but they are being intercepted by aromstise or its stick in a negative feedback loop. I think at 15,16 years old when there is so much going on introducing exogenous Test might have caused some kind of imbalance that never recoverd from. And its not just because I saw the number 300 and thought oh I have to bring this to what is considerd normal. I haven't been feeling well for a while but I just looked the other way and said ahh it'll probably go away but when I did some research on the symptoms I had been having low libido,depressed mood, really low energy, headaches for no reason, a big loss of strength , just to name a few. So I told my doc and he orfred some blood work and when I saw my levels at 300 I looked it up and found that all my symptoms perfectly matched low test symptoms so now I'm trying to find out what qent wrong to cause this, because when I compare how I felt , overall mood and energy etc. Of before I took test there's a huge difference not just by mr but friends and family telling me the same thing. Anyways sorry to go on so long but that's the story. Thanks for the help guys. I appreciate it
