Hi all, I was diagnosed with hypoganism (secondary) due to low LH and FSH. I ran a trial of clomid for about 6 months and levels were up in the 725 range but never felt any better. I then moved to the UK and was started on Testogel for 9 months but never brought my TT levels above 300...

I'm considering supplementing with Foliinic Acid and B12 Methylcobalamin, mainly for cognitive benefits. My homocysteine was also a little high at 13.4 umol/l (5 - 12 ) Sadly, I still haven't felt any relief from anxiety/depression from Testogel over the past 2.5 months. (I'll update my...

Yes, that is correct. First he gave me a round of antibiotics. Did nothing. Then told me to give it another month. 2 months passed and I practically had to beg for the chest X-ray. Now after finding out about the elevated hemidiaphragm, I specifically asked to see a pulmonologist and he said...

Hi everyone, I've been trying to diagnose and treat my low T for the past year. (Which I'll update my former posts soon) Recently, for the past four months, I have had a recurring cough and shortness of breath. Overall, just a feeling that something was wrong with my breathing. I have been to...

Thanks Nelson! They look a little expensive, so I'll have to think about it. I appreciate the info!

Hi everyone, I've done some searching online but haven't found anything. Does anyone know of a self paying/self testing lab in London similar to discountedlabs.com? I'm currently in Italy where it doesn't exist and I will be in London shortly, where if I can, I'd like to run a testosterone...

Thanks CoastWatcher. It appears he is actually in Bologna now, so if I can't find anyone local then this is always a good option. I wouldn't mind making the trip for quality care.

Loki, Thanks for the info. Would you mind sharing what dosage you were on? Do you think that at 12.5 mg per day it could really have this type of effect? Exactly, my numbers were good, but still not feeling well. Glad to know I'm not alone.

My most recent labs were done right before my phone consult with Dr. Saya in mid July. I was at : 682 Total test (348-1197) 20.5 Direct Free test (8.7 - 25.1) 37.3 Sensitive Estradiol (8.0 - 35) Unfortunately, those are my most recent numbers because I still do not have health Insurance here...

I've been on lose dose Clomid, 12.5 mg/day since June. My Testosterone numbers went up dramatically from around 157 (lowest total test) to 727 (highest total test). After a phone consultation with Dr. Saya from Defy, I decided to stay the course with the 12.5 mg Clomid and I also added .75 mg...

I know this is a shot in the dark...but does anyone happen to know of any TRT doctors located in Italy? Preferably in the Florence area? I've been dealing with this low T thing for close to a year now, and after a unsuccessful Clomid run (Testosterone went up, but not feeling better at all) I'm...

I'm wondering if anyone has any input about Nature Throid and my thyroid numbers. First test TSH - 1.0 (.5 - 4.7) 2nd test TSH - 1.3 (.5 - 4.7 ) Free T3 2.5 (2.3 - 4.2) Free T4 .96 (.73 - 1.95) After this my doctor told me that my T3 was too low and not in optimal range, so he prescribed...

Just an update...after three weeks on Clomid 12.5 mg every day my DHEA actually did increase from about 135 to about 450. I didn't supplement DHEA at all.

Well, I understand that it varies for each individual. What I am wanting to know, is if a level of 11 (on a scale 8-35) would or could cause additional symptoms? Obviously, since I have many symptoms, I'm assuming most of them are from low test, (lowest level 154) but I'm wondering if I am...

Yes, I've had testosterone checked many times and it is low. I'm not on TRT. Just wondering what an "optimal" estradiol level is for men. Thanks!
