[QUOTE="John O'Connor, post: 34951, member: 13064"] I'm new to forum, but seem to be seeing common mistakes. Patients/Doctors are treating symptom (low T) without first diagnosing the cause. You need to go off T completely and have all baselines tested to know if you are Primary or Secondary/Tertiary hypogonadal. Your LH & FSH will artificially be low while taking T, so going completely off T is necessary to diagnose correctly. And yes - you do have a thyroid issue, which should be treated first. Good news is you are catching the thyroid issue relatively early - many people don't realize thyroid is problematic until its much higher than 5.0 Also I would bet $100 that you have low vitamin D, which very recently has been linked to thyroid and other auto-immune diseases. Note - I know most of this because I also have Hashimoto's Thyroiditis - diagnosed in 2006 w/ TSH at 3.8. I was diagnosed w/ primary hypogonadism November, 2015 due to left testicular vericocele since age 18. Note left testicular vericocele is very common cause of primary hypogonadism. I take 50mcg levothyroxine which brings my TSH to 1.0 where it should be. Low T was undiagnosed until this past year. TT level was 204 in afternoon & 340 in morning, Free T was 48 (low).
