have you been evaluated for an intersex condition? for ex. androgen insensitivity (which is a spectrum) means that some people cannot respond/have a decreased response to androgens (testosterone and DHT).

maybe it's the form of t you're on??? if your levels are fine i've no idea why that would change things, but maybe switching to ethanate or cypionate or a version of gel ?
