[QUOTE="Rodney Stewart, post: 16093, member: 1980"] These are tests I had performed by Dr. Larry Lipshulz in Houston, prior to starting TRT. I currently take Axiron (60mg per day I believe? Once for each armpit.) and will go back for follow-up blood work on 3/31. These values were tested at approximately 5:00 pm and the testing was performed by Clinical Pathology Laboratories, 9200 Wall St., Austin, TX 78754. The doctor hasn't spoken to me about these results or what they mean, but some immediate questions that pop to mind: Hemoglobin is at the high-end of the normal range, does this mean anything? Somatomedin-C is near the low-end of the normal range, does that mean anything? FSH looks way over the normal range, which I assume would be normal in primary hypogonadism(?) SHBG is so high that they had to re-test it to confirm, any worries there? Would love to hear any other thoughts. Thanks!
