[QUOTE="Cataceous, post: 224591, member: 38109"] That's still somewhat missing the point. Total testosterone doesn't matter. Let me illustrate: You have a big tub of water and you are allowed to use only the overflow from that to water your lawn when there's a drought. Does the size of the tub have much bearing on how much water you can give your lawn? No, because on average your outflow is controlled by your inflow. If you're limited to transferring water into the tub with an eyedropper then your lawn is going to die. Having a big tub of water does not imply a good production rate. Because you can't drain the tank at will it doesn't much matter how much is in there. Your results are dependent on your production rate, not on your storage capacity. The free testosterone set point is indeed the issue in secondary hypogonadism—and sure, it's frustrating to know that your testicles probably could produce enough testosterone for your needs if given the right signals. We have various imperfect tools for making those signals: enclomiphene, kisspeptin, gonadorelin, and hCG. [/QUOTE]
