[QUOTE="Vettester Chris, post: 100213, member: 696"] Welcome to EM! Yeah, some of those medications are probably no doubt contributing to hypogonadism. LH isn't tanked, but at 3.5mIU/ml it isn't optimal either. Even at 3.5, I would think Total Test Serum would be higher than 196ng/dl, but it all depends. It might not hurt to also get a testicular exam from the Urologist to be safe, then start discussing the the low test with your physician. 196 on total serum, in conjunction with Free Test at 7.5, isn't a good place, so don't let any doctors try to convince you differently. On the same note, at your age, I would suggest exploring methods to increase this without going on TRT. It's a lifetime commitment, so once you're on, you're on, and there's no looking back! On the thyroid, sounds and looks possible primary overt hypothyroidism, but you need the correct labs to really assess the correct picture ... Free T3, Free T4, Reverse T3, and definitely at your age want to see anitbodies; both TPO and TgAb. It would also be good to see a metabolic and CBC panel for more insight on your current profile.
