[QUOTE="Systemlord, post: 105174, member: 15832"] I doubt this women's clinic will be the solution to your problems, these clinics are typically staffed by doctors who don't really have a clue what their doing, often they have these cookie cutter protocols designed for everyone. SHBG is the most important test you could ever run, it will tell us how well you hold onto your testosterone and help to design a protocol for you. If they don't at least run the tests below to determine why your testosterone is low, leave and don't look back! A good doctor will at least investigate why your testosterone is low before starting TRT. Do they monitor estrogen using the LC/MS/MS method? Do they provide arimidex to control excess estrogen production that is sometimes needed? Do they prescribe HCG for testicular atrophy? You mention no symptoms of any kind, if you aren't symptomatic then you should strongly consider what you are about to do, shut down your natural testosterone production. If you thinking of going on testosterone to only build muscle, then we won't be able to advise you further. We don't do that sort of thing here, we are here because of debilitating symptoms of low testosterone and require TRT for therapeutic purposes. If you are symptomatic then would do lots of research before beginning down this road and to navigate through a world of doctors who could end up making things worse for you. The truth is most doctors fail at male hormones. Total Testosterone Free Testosterone SHBG Estradiol (E2) LH-Luteneizing Hormone FSH-Folicle stimulating hormone Prolactin Cortisol Thyroid Panel CBC-complete blood count Comprehensive Metabolic Panel Lipid profile/panel [/QUOTE]
