First of all, I would like to say, I am really grateful that you suggested I get my full thyroid panel checked. I will DEFINITELY bring it up during my upcoming meeting with my endo. Is it possible for low testosterone/secondary hypogonadism to cause hypothyroidism?

Thanks for the reply, Dr. The endocrinologist that I am seeing did examine my thyroid and nodules. She did not say anything about the size, so I am assuming that everything was normal. I will, however, bring it up during my next appointment with the different endo. My endo did mention my adrenal...

Hey everyone, I wanted to post a quick update regarding my TRT Protocol. My endocrinologist agreed to change my 25mg/week to a 100mg test cyp per week (she said I can break it down into 50mg doses). She is however still against prescribing me HCG. I am planning on seeing two other...

That's so awesome to hear man - glad it is working for you. I have been through 3 doctors as well, tried Clomid once, and now i have to deal with this idiotic protocol with my current endo. I've done a ton of research on Dr. Saya and he seems like he's the best in this field. I'm really looking...

Makes sense - I'll try waiting it out until our consult. Thanks for taking the time out of your weekend for the guidance, I appreciate it.

Thanks for the response brother. I'll definitely try to wait it out, but it's a lot easier said than done lol. I'm hoping i'll get lucky and won't have too long of a wait time for my consult with Defy. These are some of my most recent lab results (just so you guys can get a better understanding...

Thanks, I'll stick with the protocol my endo gave me until our consult.

Quick Update for everyone: Update on Defy Medical: I decided to get all my work done for a consult with Defy. The staff at Defy has been extremely helpful, patient, and very responsive. So far, I'm very impressed with the customer service over there. They wrote me a prescription for all the...

Thanks man :) My parents are really against working with online clinics. Hopefully, Defy will offer a better treatment protocol. I'll keep you updated

TSH is 3.36 (.51-6.27)

Not sure if I want to go this route. I have read that it takes very long or this to work compared to test injections. With how bad I am feeling, I would much rather start the injections.

Thanks Dr - I've asked your staff to include those labs as you requested. The slurring speech only occurred a few times and is pretty rare.

Thanks man, I'll get in contact with Defy ASAP then.

According to the Dr's notes I have "profound secondary hypogonadism" =(

Yeah and it's been getting really bad recently. ABSOLUTELY NO sex drive, no morning wood, extreme fatigue, brain fog, hot flashes, difficult concentrating, slurring speech, etc. =/

That's exactly what I was worried about. I found her protocol to be very strange. I am not sure if I should leave the Dr because I've heard its very hard to find a dr who treats patients my age. Do you suggest I try Defy Medical?

Hey guys, I literally just came back from the endo because I trust this forum more than my actual dr. After testing my testosterone 3 times, doing an MRI, and doing several other blood tests, the dr prescribed me 25mg of test a week for the first 4 weeks, followed by 50mg of test for 4 weeks...

Hopefully I won't have to go down the TRT route. I'll speak to my DR tomorrow and I'll keep you guys updated. BTW the reference ranges for total testosterone is 250-1100ng/dL and free testosterone is 35.0-155.0pg/mL

Definitely. I want to avoid TRT as much as possible, but at the same time I don't want to live with the symptoms I have any longer.

Thanks for the quick reply, Henry. I spoke with my GP about my symptoms and after doing two sets of blood tests she recommended that I go see an endo. I have my appointment with the endo on Thursday, and I am just nervous/unsure what to expect. I don't mind going on TRT if it means my symptoms...

Hi guys - I'm new to the forums and this is my first thread so I apologize for any etiquette mishaps. I was hoping to get some guidance on how to treat some of the symptoms I am experiencing (which my DR thinks may be due to low testosterone). My Symptoms: - Brain Fog - Extreme Fatigue - Hot...

Anyone interested in doing these should try them out on the smith machine. It's a lot easier to keep the weight stable and to focus on the contraction.

isn't it dangerous to take more than 5,000? I might be incorrect but I've heard that you can overdose easily on Vit D

Welcome brother - i'm having some of the same issues as you so best of luck

welcome man =) i'm new as well. I'm excited to get involved in the community
