I think you can just order the test from Quest Diagnostics and pay for it yourself. Signs of low test would be fatigue, depression, low libido, forgetfulness, lack of muscle tone, basically what happens when you get above 45 or 50. I guess it depends on your age and your appearance: a muscular 18 year old is probably going to be turned down by his doc vs. a shrunken 50 year old.

"My brother was just put on HRT. I want to get my levels checked now too"

Did you ever mention (I don't think so), if there was indeed a questionable infertility problem? I don't mean to get personal, BUT, let's say you're married/engaged and "would like" to have a child but have been unable (even if it's never been discussed, who's to tell?), just claim that...or blame it on something in your workplace? But being a ?teacher?, I don't know what chemicals there would be that would compromise test.

Well, since you'd be making up the part about your brother being on HRT, you can go ahead and make up the part about even having a brother.....the doc has no idea. Seriously, plant that seed first, then any potential "symptom" you mention will seem magnified.

Sounds like the best way to go (and probably only).
