The gynae I went to see about T (since retired) said she never tested for T but went on symptoms. I have said this before but she explained that testing for T in women is difficult because the test is not sensitive enough to pick out differences at the lower end of the scale because it is the same test as for men who have much higher levels.
So I would not get hung up about these levels at all and your doc should not refuse to give you T on this basis when you are demonstrating those symptoms.
Annie0710 - if everything else has been tested - and vitamin, iron levels etc are fine, and especially your oestrogen levels too - and you have no libido, poor sexual response, and feeling tired and get muscle aches and pains especially after exercise - then testosterone deficiency could be the cause.
The doctor who thought it could be a problem and agreed to test it is already half-way there. Can't remember who you;re seeing and where you are but you need to persuade them to try you on Testosterone off licence. I agree you should not be left to suffer. Although dazned says it may not be the answer - it has to be worth a try - and you need to persist for 4-5 months. I only use a tiny amount (pea-sized blob) but it's made a huge difference to my energy levels and especially the muscle pain and fatigue after exercise. It may not necessarily improve libido but should improve response.
Btw I presume your diet is good, you are healthy weight and get plenty of exercise/fresh air - all very important to energy levels too, as well as sleep.
