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...

Would it makes since for my current free testosterone to be 20% of my total like it was before I started TRT?

I am 28 years old and found out on 5/15/18 that I had very low T 151 ng/dl total 29.8 ng/ml Free Estradiol 18 pg/ml The clinic put me on 210 mg per week via one IM shot every monday and 1000 IU HCG split up into two shots a week. I went to my primary care doc for follow up blood work that way...

Thats good to know!

I have been using 29 gauge 1/2" and I get little drop of blood after the injection. Has that been your experience?

If i to take it every day or EOD I imagine 500IU would be too much right?

I took my first shot of HCG of 500IU. Should I take it twice a week like I see everyone else doing or should I do as the clinic prescribed it? He told me to take it everyday for the first ten days then take it twice a week after that.

Thank you so much for the advice! I live in Joplin, Missouri.

I really appreciate the help and I would love to get in touch with someone qualified to treat me and that is taking my health into consideration. I would get help somewhere else immediately, especially if they worked with my insurance.

Also just to add, I am 5'8" 220 Lbs. My brothers are both 5'8" as well but they are both under 140 Lbs. I dont know if this is relevant or not but I have always been stronger than my peers. I can bench press 290, squat and deadlift over 400 lbs. I know that's not impressive but I just started...

My PSA was ran and it .26 ng/mL My CBC was ordered by him before treatment and he said everything looks good. It sounds like I need to request a CMP and SHBG test ASAP! He did ask me if my wife and I wanted to have children and I told him that yes we will eventually want kids. He told me...

Thanks for the response! I don't think he checked my SHBG, if I knew then what I know now I would have requested it. I just trusted that the guy knew what he was doing because he certainly acted like it. As far as the arimidex goes I took it for a week and a half at the dose he suggested then...

Today is the start of my 5th week on Test Cyp. I was diagnosed with Low T based on blood work and the side effects I've lived with since I was a teenager. Total Testosterone = 151 ng/dL Free Test = 29.8 pg/mL Estradiol = 18 pg/mL I have had no luck in finding a doctor that would help me in my...
