thats pretty damn low. what is your lifestyle like? 41 is still young but if that is your level and you want to go on HRT I would tell your doc that you are comfortable with injections and would like test cyp instead of the androgel. you would be surprised at what docs will give you if you ASK. if he still refuses then fire him and find another one.
RADAR is 60 and still isn't on HRT. so don't think at 41 you have to necessarily give up and go on HRT for life. you might be able to boost your levels with some lifestyle changes

i mentioned injectable test and he didnt seem very receptive to the idea .... what would you suggest to naturally boost test levels ... food type suggestions ? lean beef chicken and brown rice and steamed vegetables are what im eating now .... im 6'1 265 lb 18% bf .. i know i need to get going on the cardio more for sure ... in the gym 4-5 days per week ... been lifting since the age of 14 ... love it just feel like shit for the last year or so .... no energy .. no drive ... sleeplessness... zip sex drive .... thanks again in advance
^^^ I don't think your stats are accurate considering you have low test levels. 6 1 and 265 would mean you are built like a linebacker unless your body fat was more like 25-30%. but since you have low test levels I don't think a lot of that is muscle.
10 years ago i had low test levels myself after college when i let myself GOOOOOOOO.. i had been very athletic up until that point. it was a bad 2 years for me health wise. well i turned it around, got back in the gym and changed my diet and boom my test levels bounced right back up. I would try that first before going on HRT at least for a little while, then if your levels are still down then i would definately find another doc.. you should of told this guy face to face if he didn't give you what you wanted then you would go to another doc.. i bet he would of given you what you wanted, they want to make money and that means keeping patients
