[QUOTE="Cataceous, post: 217703, member: 38109"] LH is delivered in pulsatile fashion, so you shouldn't read too much into variations in test results from low-normal to normal. Overall your lab numbers do suggest hypogonadism, and the normal LH values suggest that testicular dysfunction is not the cause. Do you have measurements for prolactin and estradiol? High levels of either could point to an underlying cause. For completeness it can be good to get some [URL='https://www.peaktestosterone.com/Testosterone_Tests/']other tests[/URL]. In particular you want to ensure thyroid function is ok and that you don't have pathologically low levels of vitamin D or zinc. If no treatable underlying cause is found—a common occurrence—then I suggest taking a step back and considering less intrusive forms of therapy. These include a trial with either testosterone nasal gel or enclomiphene. Either of these options should be less disruptive of your overall hormonal situation than regular TRT.
