[QUOTE="MarkM, post: 119643"] When you begin injecting exogenous testosterone your HPTA will probably shutdown within two weeks and you won;t be producing any LH after that as long as your on TRT, Your testosterone levels will always fluctuate somewhat so what you are seeing in fluctuation is not unusual. I would probably hold off on the HCG until you get up to a steady state of the testosterone therapy and retest. Your Total T is low but in range, surely not optimal and your Free T is below range. You want your Free T to be in the upper end of the range regardless of what your Total T is. Free T is the work horse that does all the work. You could benefit from TRT. I am concerned about your platelet count at 107, well below the bottom end of the range. Have you always had a low platelet count in the past? SHBG is 20 on a range of 10 to 50. This is on the low side so as you get on your protocol you will need to consider this as it is one of the most important factors in deciding your injection protocol to have successful TRT. Your Estradiol Sensitive (E2) is at 20.4 on a range of 8.0 - 35.0. Not a bad E2 to start with and it will increase with the start of TRT. You should be okay at this level but everyone is different. Vitamin D is low and you need to get this up to 70 or 80. BUN is high a little bit. You may be a little dehydrated. Are you taking why protein and creatine? Thyroid does not look bad. No thryoid antobodies, Free T4 is okay, and Free T3 should be a little higher for it to be optimal. Your Reverse T3 is at 14 and you don't want it getting over 15. Your Free T3:Reverse T3 ratio is at 23.6 which is good and you definitely want it over 20. My only concern with your blood work other than your Free T being way too low is the platelet count and that is something you might want to ask your doctor about. [/QUOTE]
