[QUOTE="Badger842, post: 26352, member: 12448"] Hello all! I am new here and have a question that I hope the knowledgeable members of this site can help me with. A little about me: I am 28 years old. When I was 22-23 I took prohormones. I abused them, rather. I got sick, ended up getting my gallbladder removed (not sure if related), got gyno and had to have surgery, had hormone chaos. Eventually, everything leveled out. 3 years ago, I got my levels checked and was in the normal range. My total was 450 and I can't remember my free but it was normal. I then (at 25) went through a lot of life issues and some depression and drank a lot for 2 years. I have stopped drinking almost entirely for over a year (only social drinking now). I don't drink during the week and rarely drink enough to be hammered. I have watched my diet, exercised, and I still have been feeling tired all the time. I get headaches, feel mentally foggy, irritable, low interest in sex, etc. I got my numbers checked recently and I am low for my age. My total test is 268 (350-1200 is normal). My free is 10.2 (9.3-26.5 is normal). Thyroid is as follows: T3 - 113 (71-180) T4, Free (Direct) - 1.28 (.82-1.77) Thyroxine (T4) - 9.3 (4.5-12.0) TSH - 1.880 - (0.450-4.500) LH - 3.5 (1.7-8.6) FSH - 2.8 (1.5-12.4) Prolactin - 8.7 (4.0-15.2) Sex Horm Binding Glob, Serum - 16.2 (16.5-55.9) I am 6 feet tall and weigh 215. I am in decent shape, just have some extra weight around my mid section. My doctor prescribed HRT using the gel. She was very quick to prescribe it. I've heard the risks and I am very hesitant to start this at 28 years old, but don't want to live out my youth with this low of test levels. I am not sure what to do here! I still want children eventually so that is also a concern. Any advice is greatly appreciated and nice to meet you all! [/QUOTE]
