Low Testosterone - Please Read

[GymAllDayy]

Hey guys well this is whats up..

I have the following symptoms:
- reasonably low sex drive (for an 18 yr old)
- Low Energy ( i sleep for 10hours and never go out to party)
- Slower muscle recovery
- Smaller than usual ( my bro 3 years younger age : 15 is almost same size)
( I may seem normal ..although my dad is 6'4 and 260lbs (ex-bodybuilder)

So anyway i went to have a blood test.. Iwas 12.1nmol/l or ( 260ng/dl).
Ive done some small research and turns out not only does it decrese energy it can lead to increase cancer..heart disease and earlly death etc..

Now I dont care about muscle size or anything atm.. The doctor WILL prescribe me Testosterone Replacement Therapy which will get me to 25nmol/l or (600s ng/dl) which is high normal range.. and i am 18.

ATM I havnt taken this offer up.. as i am worried it may fuse off my bones premmaturely and i wont grow anymore..
Can ANYONE give me some advice on what i should do in terms of maximising my height? should i start with boosters such as tribulus? or t-up black? OR will taking the TRT boosting me to normal levels HELP my height as im not using it on normal test levels ( im staying within norm range)

I really need some help with this one.. thanks for your help..

P.S. , would there be any negative side effects from taking a booster such as "T-UP Black" which apperantly has decent reviews and works reasonably well for most? In terms of reducing natural test production if i discontinued the use of it

Anyone..? I need some real help atm lol

I'm afraid there ain't lots of doctors here so they can help you. And no, you won't close your growth places at low doses test, neither that counts as juicing!

[spiderman997]

If your doc isn't a moron, he will prescribe you an AI that will prevent your plates from closing.

This. Just trust your doc, that's what he's there for.

Natural Testosterone boosters.

By far the easiest, Just popping pills.
Still, I highly suggest that you got to a doctor for this, Those Test boosters will only increase by a little.
( May or may not work, depending on your body ).

I remember there was a guy who did a month review on this site about some test boosters and took blood test before and after, It worked for him.

Take the second chance consult the another doctor and what he tells and after that proceed.

[jonMENDOZA]

If the doctor prescribed it to you, I'm sure you will be fine. & I bet the doses aren't even high enough to harm you

[batmanman]

dont worry about growth plates closing

if your doc puts you at normal test levels you wont have any different closing of the growth plates than you would if you had normal levels naturally

you're probably done growing up anyway

[GymAllDayy]

I know you guys arnt doc's and all..although i'm just looking to get a variety of different opinions so i can gather my own decision..so just post whatever you believe..

ALSO, would there be any negative side effects from taking a booster such as "T-UP Black" which apperantly has decent reviews and works reasonably well for most?

I have grown 1cm in the last 2 months while on holidays, I generally grow around dec/jan (summer in aus) My dad also grew late.. i dont mind if i dont grow much more aslong as i maximise it.

I have no strict diet plan or anything.. I eat maybe 3-4 meals .. and currently only doing like rowing machine and some curls for exercise as im trying to increase my height a little.. So perhaps 5 oat bix in morning cereal.. maybe a can of tuna around lunch, perhaps a ft long subway.. and for dinner meat/vegetables with bar snacks inbetween..its nothing like a bodybuilders diet ..

this give you any reasonning behind low test?

[spiderman997]

Lifting won't affect your height at all.

[J9S3]

Heavy Squats increase testosterone and growth hormone levels dont they????

At this age i would assume lifting wont assist me in trying to squeeze out a cm or two

Weight lifting in general increases test.. exercise in general increases HGH.. Although years of strenuous weight training on the bones , there is a possibility of loss of height

What do you get on your subway? And are you eating red meat/steak at all? Other than that, I don't see much fat in your diet.

12.) There is no discussion of illegal or banned substances allowed, period!- This includes but is not limited to, steroids, FDA banned substances( pro hormones), illegal drugs, illegal test-Boosters, or prescription drugs. This is the TEEN section.

Chicken Filllit, lettuce/carrot + mayonaise on subway.
Red Meat maybe twice a week for dinner.. pizza on occasion

[GymAllDayy]

I am not using TRT atm, I have just started Nutrex T-UP Black this morning, and will take another blood test in 2-4 weeks to see if it has much of an effect on my test levels.
