The nurse practitioner put him on a testosterone patch for 2 weeks, and then tested his levels. Duh, they came back normal. (That is the purpose of the patch, right?) He has never had a repeat test.
The patch isn't that effective (bio-identical cream is- and it's cheap). Secondly, "normal" means normal for one's "reference range" (age group) and if I'm in an age group in which low T is rampant, why is that "normal" something most dr.s aim for. I did research and then found a Dr. who targets "optimum levels". FYI in case your H ever gets motivated to pursue it.

I hear ya, but as we all know, BOB is best enjoyed when he's part of a threesome!
Thanks for the very good info. Perhaps if he went beyond the primary doc and to a urologist he would get this info.
And I think my H would rather die than have a threesome with BOB. I am, of course, a little more open-minded on that. But, alas, its still as cold as Alaska in that respect. : (
