I was diagnosed with low T symptoms.
My initial blood test showed:-
Total T 12.6
I then had a second test which showed:-
Total T 10.3 SHBG 30 FAI 34.3 TSH 1.11
It was decided that I would be put on 2 pumps of Testogel 16.2 and retest in 6 weeks. This test came back as:-
Total T 8.5
I was advised to increase pumps to 4 and will be getting retested in a few weeks from now.
I have been feeling much better on 4 pumps, morning erections are back, sexdrive increased, muscle mass increasing, energy increasing which is all good.
I have also decided to put some of the pump onto my scrotum - this sometimes leaves a warm sensation but its fine. This will increase absorption.
I was wondering is it okay to put on scrotum if it doesn't hurt?
I was wondering if on 2 pumps my test was 8.5 - I should be expecting around 17 for next test or maybe more as the scrotum will increase absorption. Hoping to be around 28 mark
Is my SHBG at a good level?
I have no ideas what FAI is and what it means?
My TSH level was classified as borderline - is this something to worry about?
