I'm really starting to worry about my testosterone levels. They dropped from 270 ngdl to 208.83 ngdl in just two months, and I'm not on any medications or lacking vitamins like D or zinc. I've always felt like my hormones are low because I'm just never feeling healthy. With being a beta thalassemia minor, dealing with chronic back pain, low hemoglobin, weak bones, extra chest fat, and metabolic issues, it's a lot. Even a little extra oil or sugar messes with me, and I end up with painful acne. I often take doxycycline for that. Although I look healthy, I get tired too easily and have all the symptoms that come with low hormonal levels. I've noticed endocrinologists don't seem to know much about TRT. What do you think I should do?

I'm really worried because every time I get pregnant, I end up having a miscarriage. I'm wondering if this will keep happening. I've seen several gynecologists, but none of them can pinpoint why this is occurring. I also had two ectopic pregnancies on the right side, which led to my right tube being removed in April 2016. I've been trying to conceive again since August, but nothing's working out. Any insight on what could be going on or what I should do next?
