any idea why my TSH would now be at <.004? that seems really low. Can HCG cause this?

Yeah Mark you've got a good point.

in may my doctor prescribed my armorthroid (i think that was the name) but I quit taking it after a month because I was feeling jittery and had diarrhea all the time.

Ive been working out and eating healthy since january. In that time ive gained a decent amount of strength, just no noticeable fat loss.

I had some thyroid tests done back in may TSH 1.602 ref (.300-5.00) T4 Free 1.02 ref (.80-1.80) T3 Free 3.1 ref (2.4-4.5) Last week the doc only ordered TSH and it came back abnormal TSH <.004 ref (.350-4.940)

I have no symptoms in regards to my nipples. The only negative side effects ive had are the oily skin, high blood pressure, hot flashes and I havent lost any fat since starting TRT even though I work out 5 times a week and eat healthy. Ive actually gained 11 pounds since starting TRT in May. I...

yeah I agree I can afford to cut back my dosage but I am trying to remain fertile. What would be the drawbacks of taking the AI?

Also as a sidenote im 29 years old and am now starting to grow facial hair and body hair for the first time.

I have had a few more pimples but its hardly noticeable and yes it was the sensitive test.

I am on 210MG once a week + 250 IU of HCG EOD, no AI My initial levels back in May were: Test Total 151 ref range (300-1080) test free 29.8 ref range (47-244) estradiol 18 ref range (0-56) SHBG 76.6 ref range (16.5-55.9) My blood work from last week: Test Total 1060 Test Free 208 estradiol 78...

So is free T basically the Testosterone that isnt bound by SHBG? My SHBG level is 76.

It was done at Labcorp

My sensitive estradiol test hadnt came in as of this morning so I called my doctor and one of the nurses told me over the phone that it is 24.9. I forgot to ask what the ranges were though.

Overall I feel better. I didn't realize I had low libido until I started TRT. In highschool I never really went through that pervy horndog phase that my friends went through so I didnt know what it was like to have normal libido. I have more energy and less social anxiety. I feel like im...

madman you are correct on many things that you stated. I am on my 8th week of this protocol. At the T-mill he did the correct sensitive Estradiol Test. I wasnt aware of "t-mills" back in may I just trusted that this clinic knew what they were doing. They didnt test my SHBG. All that the clinic...
