Hello
Im new to the site and this is my first post. First off, this forum is awesome and replete with valuable information. Thank you Nelson and all who have contributed.

I need help in deciding what course of action I should take. Im 32, 5'8, 176 pounds, and I have been suffering with what I believe to be low t symptoms for years now. Lack of energy, depression, low drive, anxiety and lack of motivation. Oddly enough my sex drive hasn't been all that bad. Mostly up and down really. Latest labs were drawn Dec 28 at 8:47 am. Unfortunately, my primary dr. did not test for estradiol or shgb. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

TT 343 ng/dl. (250-1100)
FT 83.3 pg/ml. (35-155)
LH 7.4 mIU/ml. (1.7-8.6)
FSH 4.4 mIu. (1-8)
Free T4 1.2 ng/ml (0.71-1.85)
TSH 1.80 uIU/ml. (0.45-4.70)
Prolactic 15.94 ng/ml. (1.61-18.77)

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
