For my wife yes..

Amac you need to get a referral from a gp, some will just do it, some will want you to have a legitamate reason for it to be done.

You could make up a story about tired all the time , no sex drive etc..

thanks trofius, i'll ask my GP about it next time i see him (hopefully later rather than sooner!)

You need

E2
Shbg
Testosterone

As a start... Then more comes into play if something is out of wack.

Sticky what specialist did you see? I too was twelve and after I come off these roids I'll test myself again. It's not like its heading up anymore can only go one way. It's only a matter of time before I'm on TRT.

I have an appointment with my GP on Monday to see the results of my 2nd lot of bloods. I'll let ya'll know how it goes, but as it runs at the moment, I'm pretty much on par with n00bs Testosterone wise apparently.

Had my bloods done last week, had a chat with my GP about it on Monday. He was pretty concerned about it. Spot on though, it's 8. Got the 2nd lot of bloods done with a few extra's thrown in to make it a bit more comprehensive, also to make sure it wasn't a fluctuation. I'm booking another apointment to see my GP on Monday.

Funny thing is I never thought twice about this despite having a few symptoms of low T for as long as I can remember, I just went about to do what I do.

I'll post an update after my next appointment.

Please let us know as your gp might not be up to date with everything so please come back with results before you implement any strategy.

My first gp told me 7.4 was not a problem and wasnt too concerned when it was 4.2..

At least your doc has some idea. However you need to get under 8 to be eligible for PBS.

Anyway make sure you get cortisol tested and proper thyroid analysis. As these can lead to low t as well.
