Hi,
before I started Androgel, my number were 292 total testosterone (348-1197), 8.88 free testosterone, 3.4 FSH (1-12) and 3.0 LH (2-12).
My my doc was telling me that I should still have a LH and FSH signal. I told him that i don't think I should because I've been on Androgel since April. I said that I read that outside testosterone shuts off your LH and FSH. He said it's not true and that only happens if you go above supra physiological range. I've been within range the whole time and my testicles haven't shrunk so I should still have it. He said that bodybuilders are shut down because of their abuse and I shouldn't be shutdown because I'm taking Androgel and I'm not above range.
Is this correct?
