    Need advice on initial blood testing

    I do feel much better. Much of the anxiety I had before is gone. I gained about 12 pounds of water weight almost immediately after starting, but just started losing some of it the last couple of weeks. I honestly thought the total T number would be higher. Yes, I did the draw Monday morning...

    Need advice on initial blood testing

    I posted my latest labs as an image. Didn't know if it was easier to read vs a PDF. Anyone have any thoughts on my current labs compared to my initial labs before starting TRT?

    Need advice on initial blood testing

    Just a quick follow up. I started TRT at the beginning of October and had my first follow up labs done this past Monday so about 9 weeks on. I've attached the labs and wanted to see what you guys thought of it. Since starting I do feel much better, especially with the brain fog and...

    Need advice on initial blood testing

    On another forum that I posted my labs someone mentioned missing FSH. I don't know why that wasn't requested on the Defy order, but do you think I should go and get this done? He seems to think that this needs to be looked at before starting TRT (which he eluded that I wasn't low T). Sorry for...

    Need advice on initial blood testing

    I have my consultation with a Defy PA later this week. Do you think they are going to recommend injections, Clomid or try something else? I want to make sure I have all of my questions ready and if you guys have an idea based on my labs what they will probably start off with it would be helpful.

    Need advice on initial blood testing

    Gotcha, thanks. I just don't want to rush into TRT knowing it's a life long thing without making sure I can't change/adjust something in my life that would help me feel better. Honestly, I read these horror stories on here about how guys feel terrible, but I'm not to that point. Yes, I'm down in...

    Need advice on initial blood testing

    I snore a little, but it doesn't bother the Mrs. Some nights I sleep all night. Others, get up a couple times to use the bathroom if I drink too much liquids before bed. I just asked my wife about it and she said the snoring isn't bad at all.

    Need advice on initial blood testing

    I feel like my sleep is fine. I'd like to get a little more sleep each night, but with two young kids the only time I can work out is at 4:00 am. So I get about 7 hours of sleep.

    Need advice on initial blood testing

    Are you saying that nothing appears out of the ordinary other than the TSH? Should I be worried with my test numbers? Just wondering if I need to make an appointment with Defy or go down a different path.

    Need advice on initial blood testing

    A little background. I'm 37 and around 18% bodyfat. I work out 4 days a week weight training. I eat pretty healthy throughout the week and keep track of my macros. I take creatine, multi vitamin, fish oil, claritin, and one prescription of buspar for general anxiety. Only started this about...

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.
