[QUOTE="Ace, post: 5776, member: 850"] Correct these are all baselines. Haven't ever taken any external testosterone, pro hormones or anything of the sort. I'm also not on any other medications. And yes I was always under the impression that this is secondary but Excel Male has said primary as well as this doctor. I've been to numerous doctors/endos and most of them don't really want to dig any further as they're under the assumption that my testosterone is normal, or they simply don't know what to look for. Cortisol was blood serum. I'm not sure if I'll be able to get the saliva testing done, not at this time anyway. There's Canary club in Australia surprisingly, which is where I'm from so I could get it done in the future. Wish I knew about it earlier. [B]Edit - [/B]whoops, apparently not, it's a restaurant/bar by the same name. I've been offered T4 meds before which I refused, when I mentioned Armour Thyroid they didn't know what it was. I've tried asking for RT3 testing but they wouldn't check it. I assume they don't know what it is or they thinks it's not important. I've been taking selenium 150mcg per doctors suggestion for a few months now along with magnesium, zinc, D3 with minor improvements. How much would addressing these issues first (cortisol, thyroid) raise my testosterone levels though? Appreciate your reply. [/QUOTE]
