[QUOTE="CoastWatcher, post: 73796, member: 2624"] It would appear the incorrect estradiol test was run, but it is certainly low by any standard of measure. Be sure, in the future, that the sensitive, LC, MS/MS, lab assay is the one preformed. Were these labs drawn when you were in a fasting state? The lipid and glucose reports certainly merit some discussion if you'd not eaten when the blood was drawn. Were other thyroid tests run, in addition to the TSH? You're showing a reasonable TSH, but that's not the entire thyroid picture by any means. I would certainly raise the question of your hematocrit and hemoglobin. It's a fairly common issue, the elevated report, for men on TRT. I would want to know how often he intends to monitor your CBC, and ask abiut iron and ferritin as well if frequent blood donations are in your future. You don't believe that a restart is a likely path you'll follow, but what about fertility and children in your future? Have you had a sperm count done? Is banking sperm an option? You are young.
