    Yikes...LH/FSH horrible!

    Well, not all of us. Despite taking 200mg a week (split dose), my FSH and LH remain fairly high. :confused:

    Initial blood work (pre-TRT)

    Hey Chris, these aren't thyroid labs, just my doctor's hypogonadism panel. Here is my thyroid panel from 2/6/2015, if a thyroid panel was run on my latest blood work (03/30), I don't have it yet.

    Initial blood work (pre-TRT)

    Checked the prescription, it's Nolvadex / Tamoxifen.

    Initial blood work (pre-TRT)

    Thanks Nelson, I'll definitely start with the Vitamin D right away (as I have some at home already). Dr. Lipshultz prescribed me an aromatase inhibitor (I'll have to check my prescription to see which one) but told me to only worry about filling it if I experienced any symptoms (I was having...

    Initial blood work (pre-TRT)

    Heya Vince, thanks for asking. Things are definitely going better and I'm very happy with the decision to start replacement therapy. Main symptoms prior were fatigue, brain fog, and lack of libido. Everything downstairs still worked, I just didn't care about it. Also, despite a proper diet and...

    Initial blood work (pre-TRT)

    *crickets* Update for anyone interested. The left is prior to starting TRT, the right is after two months of 60mg (two applications) Axiron every day. SHBG is still very high and DHEA has dropped quite a bit. Total T and Free T are looking much better, but I feel Free T could be much higher...

    Initial blood work (pre-TRT)

    These are tests I had performed by Dr. Larry Lipshulz in Houston, prior to starting TRT. I currently take Axiron (60mg per day I believe? Once for each armpit.) and will go back for follow-up blood work on 3/31. These values were tested at approximately 5:00 pm and the testing was performed by...

    Dr Larry Lipshultz in Houston

    Libido has improved a bit, mood seems to be a bit better as well. Everything downstairs worked on time, every time, before, but things have definitely been better there as well. I don't know if we're 100% of the way there yet, but things are improving. The Axiron isn't that big of a pain and I...

    Dr Larry Lipshultz in Houston

    I believe that he will allow at home injections. My initial visit with Dr. Lipshultz was very odd. A fellow talked with me, gave me a prescription for 200mg Test Cyp and syringes, then told me I could get the prescription filled after my blood work came back if my levels were under 400. Then...

    Dr Larry Lipshultz in Houston

    I originally had trouble getting in touch with Dr. Lipshulz' appointment line (repeatedly busy), but I may have to try again. Made an appointment with Dr. Patricia Salvato and the next available wasn't until December 2!

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
