Hypo since 20 y/o - now 30. Thoughts on this bloodwork?

Hi all.

I was diagnosed with hypogonadism when I was young (<20).

At first, I went to some horrible endos who prescribed me topical T cream when I was <20 years old! Fortunately, I only took this for a few months before I started reading and realizing this wasn't the way/that there were ways to preserve fertility by just making the pituitary do its job.

A better endo saw me and diagnosed me with type 2 hypo. He prescribed me with climid. I saw better test results then. But I stopped taking that too (I probably shouldn't have).

Things were going GREAT for awhile. I was working out, putting on 30 lbs of muscle, and I had zero issues for about 5 years...until now.

Over the last month or so, I noticed a libido drop. Got tested and the results were bad. You can see the chart I created attached.

Now I'm wondering if my type 2 has become type 1 or mixed. I guess when I re-test LH and FSH, I'll see.

Any thoughts you have would be appreciated. I'm going to push my doctor to get me the right bloodwork and to refer me to a good endo ASAP. Hopefully I don't need to wait 2 months for an appointment.

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
