[QUOTE="Raindog, post: 217685, member: 18433"] Hi- I was diagnosed with secondary hypogonadism in '18 based on these labs: LH (1.5-9.3 IU/L) 2.5 Testosterone (241 - 827 ng/dL): 292 Free Testo (47-244 pg/ml): 35 % Free Testo (1.6-2.9%): 1.2% SHBG (15.0-87.0 nmol/L): 66.3 Prolactin (2.1-17.7 ng/ml): Estradiol 17-B (<=40 pg/ml): Ive never felt right on TRT, trialed several dosages and protocols. I ended up switching PCP's, (tried Defy for a few months in between) & eventually my new PCP sent me to an Endo in '20. After reviewing my initial labs from '18 the Endo advised I was missed diagnosed initially. I was still w/ Defy at the time and I think the Endo hated that. Advised me to get off trt for 3 months and get tested. After three months off my results from my new doctor: LH (1.5-9.3 IU/L): 4.5 Testosterone (241 - 827 ng/dL): 270 FSH (1.4-18.1): 6.3 I felt a little better in someways but in most ways I felt awful. I kept my PCP but found a Naturalpath doc to get me back onto TRT. But I still don't feel great. I worry about my pituitary causing other symptoms. I don't think Im regulating fluids well, I think its causing mental health shit and freaking me out a little. Diabetes Insipidus specifically. Question is- when I stopped TRT my LH almost doubled compared to my diagnosed lab work in /18. Is that indication that my pituitary is working properly and my problems is most lilley in my balls and not my brain? Or does LH test results tell us anything at all in this case? I ran it by my Naturalpath and he said... "you want to get off it? I can help you with that but I don't think you'll be happy" which really didn't answer my concern directly.... I understand the test results from my new PCP are too limited for a broader discussion. Its all he ran and then I ran from him to the naturalpath. But the LH and pituitary, can we tell from just that? Dave [/QUOTE]
