[QUOTE="DragonBits, post: 164985, member: 18023"] Your results two years ago for E2 (estrogen) and TSH were "odd". E2 should have been lower, and TSH was too high. No reason I can think of why E2 was in the normal range when it should have been lower. Your recent results for E2 makes senses given your low testosterone. TSH being high could have been a one time thing, or it could indicate sub-clinical hypothyroidism. You should either recheck just TSH, or do a full thyroid panel that includes Thyroid antithyroglobulin antibody (ATA) Thyroid peroxidase antibody (TPO) rT3 along with the more common TSH, Total Thyroxine (T4) Free Thyroxine (T4), Free Tri-iodothyronine (T3) Your testosterone has consistently been very low. That sticks out as both consistent and in need of being fixed, so I would focus on those two (T and TSH), with testosterone being the one that needs to be fixed. Though something could have caused a drop in total T, so a doctor would want to investigate any possible reasons. For me, I know my total T had been on the low side of normal ever since I first measured it 24 years ago, but it was ~350 ng/dl and remained there until I started TRT, which is a lot higher than yours at 220 ng/dl. I would also add in HS-c-reactive protein to check for general inflammation. [/QUOTE]
