Hi all, looking for input on my results and planned approach.
Lab results (morning fasted draw):
My interpretation: Normal LH/FSH with low T points to secondary hypogonadism. Slightly elevated prolactin may be contributing to HPG axis suppression.
Age: 38. No previous testosterone or hormone treatment.
Planned approach:
What do you guys think about this plan?
Lab results (morning fasted draw):
- Total Testosterone: 2.52 ng/mL — LOW
- Free Testosterone: 13.14 pg/mL — LOW
- SHBG: 36.87 nmol/L — Normal
- LH: 4.902 mUI/ml — Normal
- FSH: 4.213 mUI/ml — Normal
- Prolactin: 419.1 mIU/L — Slightly elevated
- Estradiol: 28.3 pg/ml — Normal
- TSH: 2.748 μIU/mL — Normal
- PSA: 0.713 ng/ml — Normal
- Hematocrit: 47.7% — Normal
My interpretation: Normal LH/FSH with low T points to secondary hypogonadism. Slightly elevated prolactin may be contributing to HPG axis suppression.
Age: 38. No previous testosterone or hormone treatment.
Planned approach:
- Start Cabergoline 0.125–0.25mg twice a week to normalize prolactin first
- Retest after 6-8 weeks
- If T doesn't recover, add Clomid 25mg twice a week
- Retest after 6-8 weeks
- TRT as last resort if above doesn't work
What do you guys think about this plan?
