[QUOTE="CoastWatcher, post: 59208, member: 2624"] Welcome to Excelmale. To answer your question, it is very important to understand your entire endocrine picture - free testosterone is an essential value to measure. Assuming you are, indeed, hypogonadal, the free testosterone level - in conjunction with SHBG - will be considered by you and your doctor in the overall design of your replacement protocol. Don't nickel and dime in testing. To capture your situation you should measure at a minimum, total and free testosterone, SHBG, estradiol (sensitive test), LH, FSH, prolactin, CBC, PSA, DHT, TSH, t3, t4, rT3, and thyroid antibodies. One might be able to get away without a CMO, bu Are you satisfied with the care your doctor is providing? Is he/she conversant on these matters, or are you driving in the dark? [/QUOTE]
