Thread: low test.

Hi all...new to forum. I was diagnosed a couple of years ago with secondary hypogonadism. All my bllod work was fine except fsh, lh, free and total T...which were all low. I've been on T replacement off and on for 2 years. Endocrinologist says my low T is ideopathic.
I've been going to the gym for 2 years...gains are modest and I keep getting too much abdominal fat. I switch to cardio and burn the gut...but lose most of my gains...even while alternating cardio with weights and gorging on protien.
Anyway, I'm sick of T replacement and want to go on hcg to try to re-stimulate the axis. I've used copenhagen for many years and think that is the cause of the low t. Additionally, a bone density scan revealed osteopenia.
OK, I abused my body for many years (I will be 39 in a few weeks) and am trying desperately to turn it around. I'm eating right and feel good most days and love going to the gym! This pesky t problem is in my way! Even if I get my t to normal (for my age) I don't think that will be sufficient to build muscle and lose fat.
My estradiol #s have been ok.
Any suggestions?

Thanks, Dave
