Got this from a website:

* Decreased sex drive (poor libido)
* Problem obtaining and maintaining erections
* Increased depression
* Fatigue (Get tired easily)
* Inability to concentrate
* Decline in memory and cognitive skills
* Decreased muscle mass and strength
* Loss of body hair
* Smaller, softer testes
* Decreased bone mass that may lead to osteoporosis
* Abdmonial fat (Pot Belly)
* Pectoral (Breast) fat
* Psychological symptoms: such as swinging mood, depression, anxiety, lack of vitality and sleep problems.

I had mine checked a few weeks ago. I had it checked b/c I am experiencing a lot of those symptoms, but was not sure if it was low test or this crappy medication I am on long term (the medication has these same effects).

The initial test came back low for my age, but not low enough for HRT or anything like that. The normal range is b/w 250-1200...mine was at 343. Doc said it should be somewhere around 400-600.

I am having it re-checked because you are supposed to have it checked in the early morning and my initial test was done at 12:30pm.

You should also check out the HRT section of the site. Good info in there.

it may be your generics bro, back in the bodybuilding hay day they didn't used pct... I guess everybody is different, In my case the only thing that I had problems coming back was deca. I wish I was gifted like some of my bodies they do what ever and they come back like nothing according to their t levels on their blood works.

if you've got low test levels then you will probably be having trouble with having a descent sex drive, maybe be having trouble with attaining or keeping erections, your appetite may suffer, you may become depressed, you may gain fat easily due to having higher estro levels than normal compared to your test levels, low test levels have been linked to poor mental ability, losing muscle mass, low sperm counts, low energy levels, poor sleeping habits, or course all of these will vary from person to person. Everyone is different, one might have one or more or all of these symptoms, it just depends on the person. Yes I think genetics has a lot to do with it, but I'm no doctor either. I know that I had my levels checked a couple years ago when I was having trouble with my sex drive, and having trouble keeping an erection, also I was depressed and my appetite sucked. And to my surprise, my levels were normal, I think they were around 380 on a scale of 240 -1100. (or something like that). And I had my leverls checked during the middle of a cycle last year, actually I was off gear except for 10 mg of tbol a day for more than 1 month, and I felt great, with no symptoms at all, and my levels came back so low I almost fell over, The level was 26 on the scale of 240-1100. I was having my levels checked because i can't get my girl pregnant. Anyway, he told me I he would prescrbe TRT, but I wasn't interested at the time because I had 100 sustonons on the way. I haven't had them checked since, but I will after I complete my current pct. sorry for rambling on and on, i'm really tired. hope this helps.. later bro
