True, my bad! Here's the latest thyroid panel I had on the 4th of October: fT3 - 3.37pg/ml [2 - 4.4] fT4 - 1.27ng/dl [0.93 - 1.7] TSH - 1.7 uIU/ml [0.27 - 4.2]

Thanks for the response! I didn't lose the weight quickly, it took me 2 years to lose those 50lbs. My thyroid has been tested regularly over the last 4 years, according to my endocrinologist there's nothing wrong with it.

I weigh 250lbs @ 5'6, down from 300lbs. At my highest weight had a TT between 250ng/dl and 320ng/dl. I'm now up to 380ng/dl. My SHBG increased as well from 22 to 29. However, I've been noticing my symptoms getting worse as I've lost weight. For one, I'm a more depressed, apathetic and fatigued...

I probably should have been more detailed in my initial post. I've had multiple sleep studies, first one showed an AHI of 16 but the other two since then have been ~5 AHI since I lost weight. It's borderline but my doc said it's not necessary to treat and with a bit more weight loss that number...

My thyroid has been tested multiple times. Initially, my endo suspected hypothyroidism because I had one slightly elevated TSH lab of 3.53µU/ml, but it went down again and I've had two sonograms of my thyroid since - one year apart - and they were both negative. Thanks for sharing!

That is awesome! Have you used HCG? Did you get any E2 issues with that?

Thank you for sharing your experiences! The mental issues are what makes me want to go on TRT the most, I think that's what's been holding me back for the most part. I think I have a pretty good grip on nutrition. I do intermittent fasting and keto (sometimes even zero carb) and I've managed to...

My last blood panel didn't include Free T but my calculated Free T would be 9.1ng/dL or 2.36% based on a TT of 385ng/dl and SHBG of 25nmol/L. My previous free T labs were low-normal, unfortunately I don't have the exact values with me right now.

Hi all, I've been quite overweight / obese for years. At my highest I weighed in a 300lbs at 5'6. Only in the last 2 or so years I've managed to lose about 50lbs. From my highest weight until now my TT has fluctuated between 250ng/dl and 385ng/dl. SHBG is low-ish at around 25nmol/L. My E2...

The test says "CLA" as testing method, so I'm guessing not sensitive? I'm just wondering if I lower my E2 with an AI (and assuming my HPG axis is still functional) wouldn't my body respond by increasing LH and therefore testosterone until E2 is at a similar level again?

My SHBG is at 25.6 nmol/L. I actually thought about getting TRT (even found a doc who would be willing to prescribe me) but since I've seen my latest blood test I've decided against it since it seems my body is still able to produce enough T if not for the excess weight. So before I do commit to...

When I was at my highest weight (300lbs) I was diagnosed with low T with a total testosterone of 250ng/dl. I've since lost 50lbs over a year and while my TT first went down even further, it has recently increased to 385ng/dl with an e2 level of 32pg/ml in my latest test a few days ago. I assume...
