Why not test LHRH #502421?

Just curious why this isn’t a recommended test. Wouldn’t it be nice to see what our GnRH levels are? What if some of our secondary hypogonadism is the result from a weak communication between the hypothalamus and pituitary?

Now that I have stopped HCG for a week because I am on vacation, my quality of sleep has diminished. Been waking up at 3am. And late night bowel movements. Interesting.

Hashimoto’s question

It kind of all makes sense now... I have in the past and sometimes feel cold. Horrible panic attacks out of no where even not under stressful situations. Swelling and dry of the eyes when I wake up (which is what made me focus on Hashimoto). My mother has had rheumatoid arthritis since she was...

Hashimoto’s question

Hello everyone, Recently I just received a blood back for my Thyroid Antibodies (TPO) and discovered I was at 190’s (range is 0-30). My question is, does Hashimotos (or thyroid disease) have any correlation with an over active bladder? Let’s assume all test to evaluate OAB has been successful...

That was what I was thinking, 3-6 months run it again with T3 and T4.

Assuming my T3 and T4 are normal... is it normal to have elevated thyroid antibodies when coming off T? I guess what I am concerned about is the damage I did in the past, trigger auto immune diseases for example Hashimoto.

Yeah I thought so too. I feel in another 3-4 months I should reevaluate my Thyroid and have all panels tested. TSH, T3, T4, RT3 and antibodies. Can a common cold right at the beginning raise Thyroid Antibodies??

Recent lab work help

It is a 1ml 200mg vial, I was using a 1cc 25g (100units) syringe and was drawing back to 10units which was taken twice a week. Plus my 500iu HCG three times a week and would take that three times a week in the past. I’m not here to stir up any chatter on what my labs were... but I am reading it...

Recent lab work help

Hey guys, Recently I just came off Testosterone Cypionate at a very low dose of 10mg twice a week. I tapered from 100mg a week to 10mg a week for TRT and the dose I decreased to had no therapeutical impact on my system, I just wanted to give it a go and try it out. And my numbers on 10mg were...

Husband is on Clomid—nothing has changed

In my honest opinion, I believe this is all caused by anxiety/stress. I would have him talk to a professional and see exactly what is going on in his head. Have him practice some mindfulness meditation. I went through a whole ED/Libido issue back during my college days (24-28y/o) but that was...

My triptorelin recovery log.

I’d like to see your labs 3-4 months now after this. So do not take anything, you should be set from all the bro science I have read behind triptorelin. 1cc from rumors is all the is really needed, anything more can cause castration. Just be sure to include free testosterone and bio... total T...
