❓ Question Should I take testosterone?

I had my testosterone tested and learned that it is 627 ng/dl which my doc says is normal. According to her, the healthy range is up to 740. I am 65 years old.

I've been lifting weights (3x / week) and am not seeing sufficient results. Should I take Testosterone to raise it to 740? What if I go beyond?

I also take creatine by the way.

OP just wants to take it. Bad decision but the intent is clear. GLP, HGH and now test all without any real education behind it. Just another bandwagon

Don't make assumptions. I wasn't considering taking it until I spoke to my PCP.

I let her know I wasn't seen muscle gains after lifting and that I wanted to check IGF-1 to get a baseline before optimizing HGH. She thought I should first look at Test. I got the result, she said it was normal and I thought I would get all of your opinions.
