[QUOTE="dogburrito, post: 7680, member: 1203"] Hi Chris, great to read your post. Your points are well taken and I am still doing homework and consulting more expertise. Much of my reading indicates I need to account for more than just testosterone, so I agree with you. To answer your questions as best possible: My most recent blood test (2 days ago) shows 516/6.8 ng/dl (total/free.) Esrtadoil is 2 pg/ml (saliva test from mid March) - normal Estrone is 75 pg/ml (saliva test from mid March) - elevated More data: I just halted HCG (used for weight loss) at 125 IU per day - that was 4 or 5 days before that test AND I suppose that should have elevated the Testosterone above baseline. However, a blood test from 8 months ago showed 591 ng/dl (where no HCG was in use.) These data points seem to show a deficient axis - what part? the lydig cells? BTW: I have postponed taking the sub-lingual testosterone (10mg/day) since I am second guessing my local doctor. I actually think he's a great doctor (integrative physician.) His goal is to get me to 1100 - 1200 mg/dl. I am anxious to begin taking testosterone. About the other hormones and metrics you mention - the complications all seem very relevant. I've consulted 2 doctors locally (who have a single tool: exogenous Testosterone.) What clinic or doctor will actually all the hormones and metrics into account and yield the best treatment? I spoke with Defy Medical today and they impressed me. [/QUOTE]
