[QUOTE="socks, post: 39127, member: 13240"] Since you're LH is high and you're not aromatizing testosterone (low e2) then your total-t should be higher. However, it's not, therefore something is messing up the HPTA flow chart. Keeping in mind, estrogen and testosterone both negatively feedback on the hypothalamus/pituitary. The latter less than the former. We're left knowing your testes work and the primary negative feedback loops aren't in action since LH is still high (too much test/e2/or stress hormones ACTH/Cortisol are suppressive of GnRH & LH). I wouldn't rush into [I]any[/I] treatment at this point. I know you feel miserable, but given all your bits 'n pieces work, a root cause solution would be best. It may take a lot of work on your part, but eventually you'll find a Doc who understands your symptoms and can appropriately diagnose you. Potential lines of inquiry: a) Comprehensive Estrogen Panel (estradiol, estrone, estriol) b) Thyroid/cortisol Panels c) Other more comprehensive tests to determine potential cause [/QUOTE]
