Labs, thoughts?

LFG

Member
I am 34 yr old and am thinking about going on TRT. I got my labs completed and wanted some honest input if I should go on TRT. I have a lot of symptoms (sluggish, no motivation, low sex drive)

I have attached my results.

I'm sure people will want to see your LH and FSH. Your age will be the downside and I am sure your doctor will want to explore some options to try to naturally get your T up or options like HCG mono/Clomid.

Take your age out of the picture, with your low Free T and symptoms I think you are certainly a candidate.
 
Your T status is low indicated by LH and your high SHBG is making the T situation look decent when it is not, the real clue lies in your Free T levels which are very low.

Clomid will likely not work, it will increase SHBG and decrease your Free T even more.

Anyone know why all the posts were deleted?

I had trouble getting into this thread after my reply yesterday, we were having technical difficulties with the forum.

Everyone’s responses got deleted. Which is a bummer. Regardlesss, I’m going to go on TRT as from what all have said that my e2 is super low. SHBG high and free T low.

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.
