Hi, I registered because I've noticed a few familiar usernames who have helped me in the past on another forum.
Quick stats - 27, 5'8, 165lb, low teens bf%
I've gone just over 2 years trying to find a doctor willing to put me on TRT, one finally did but I'm yet to start. I wanted to try to find a cause first but no luck and I'm tired of searching. In about 12 hours or so I'll probably have my first injection of Test E unless something jumps out at someone from my results and I'm convinced otherwise. Here are all my results since the start of this journey.

I also had a semen analysis done and I'm fertile.
My LH/FSH readings point towards me being secondary. But the doctor who prescribed me TRT said my LH and FSH are high for my total T indicating my testicles aren't working properly and therefore primary hypogonadism. Thoughts on this? Any input is appreciated.
