edit: Im gonna go in sometime later this week or next week and get my prolactin level tested to rule out a pituitary adenoma i.e. a prolactinoma which is the most common form of pituitary tumor by far. The lower LH I have in the presence of low test is a little odd considering I'm not on TRT and...

Hey guys labs finally came in from quest. I highlighted maybe some stuff of particular interest. Includes total test, free test, male sensitive assay estradiol, LH, FSH. Unfortately couldn’t add SHBG cause it was too late. Blood was taken at 9 am not 12 noon like lab indicates. So now have two...

Ok.. thanks for help. Would free test levels supersede SHBG? Correct me if I’m wrong but if ones total T is moderate/high and there free T is mediocre it can be safely assumed that there SHBG is high? As men get older I read their SHBG can increase which is why they may need to have higher total...

$350 upfront... 250 3 months later but this is for 6 months of being his patient. So $600 total to be seen by him for 6 months. Really not bad. Considering he can script me test and arimidex which will cost me $40 a month with insurance at CVS. Stuff is dirt cheap if you get it scripted.. and...

I honestly don’t think he mentioned the SHBG. Is this a big deal? I heard you can’t change SHBG.. and some say why worry about something you can’t change? I am totally green to all this so I am asking you genuinely. And he says he would like to see me in 1000-1200 range for total T for feeling...

Edit: this guy specializes in HRT and doesn’t accept insurance. He is like concierge essentially. Got him off recommendation of a friend

Update: so I have consulted a physician that specializes in HRT. He ordered labs for total T, free T, estradiol male sensitive, FSH and LH. Will have results tomorrow and will post here. In the meantime he gave me 12000 IU of HCG and has me taking 300 units daily. I just shoot subcutaneous into...

Ok so went on any lab test now which is near me... they offer the following choices for lab tests related to test and men’s health https://www.anylabtestnow.com/tests/pre-testosterone-therapy-panel/ That is $300 versus I can get just a total and free test done for $79. I have insurance but...

Mark, thank you for the detailed reply. I Will prefer to it’s rightful name as TRT here on out. I will look to have full men’s health lab test done that I believe includes all you mention. Also I wanted to get thyroid antibodies done as you mention... Incase I have something autoimmune going on...

Hi guys been feeling like crap now for sometime. I finally had some lab work done a few months back and my total testosterone came back at 331..with a reference range of 300-1800 ng/dl. My estradiol was 16.8 ...with a reference range of 0-60.7 pg/ml. Probably unrelated but Vitamin D was...
