Hello Friends!
I wanted to get some help with my recent bloods. My recent test (see below) shows high SHBG, FSH and LH levels, but normal T and I'm assuming fairly normal Free T?
I had two SA's done in the past and both showed semen volume of 1-1.1ml with a count of 20 mil. The latest test had improved morphology from 1% to 3.5%. The low acceptable level is 4% for morphology. I've been able to drastically increase volume by edging. I get nearly 3 times the volume if I edge for a few hours before I ejaculate.
I would like to lower my SHBG levels and bring the LH and FSH levels to normal. I have not come across a lot of people with high, SHBG, FSH and LH. I have an appointment with an endo, but wanted to gain some knowledge before I meet.
My diet is on point. I'm in NZ for work and have only been eating only grass fed/organic meats. Lots of greens and thrown in a sweet potatoe and brown rice once in a while. No processed foods and no soft drinks.
No illness (unless low sperm is an illness).
I am not on any OTC drugs. Only taking a test booster along with daily vitamins. I upped the amount of Vitamin D as I have heard it helps lower SHBG. I'm at 5500-6500k IUI of Vitamin D per day. Also take quite a few fish oil.
Testosterone 741 ng/dl Ref = (251-836)
SHBG = 73nmol/L Ref = (13-71)
Free Testosterone = 25.5 ng/dl Ref = (15.3-48.0)
FSH = 14.9 IU/L Ref = (2.0-12.0)
LH = 13.8 IU/L Ref = (2.0-9.0)
Progesterone = 1.0 nmol/L (no ranges given)
Estradiol = 151 pmol/L Ref = (< 161)
Prolactin = 183 mIU/L Ref = (<240) (wife and I went to town the night before so this might be elevated)
Cholesterol mmol/L = 5.4 Ref = (<5.0) I’ve been on a fairly high fat diet eating avacados, nuts and coconut oil.
HDL Cholesterol mmol/L = 1.42 Ref = (>1.0)
LDL Cholesterol mmol/L = 3.8 Ref = (<3.4)
Homocysteine = 10.2umol/L Ref = (5.0-15.0)
Fasting Insulin = 5.5 mU/L Ref = (5.0-13.0)
Vitamin D = 64 nmol/L Ref = (50-150). This was after spending over 12 hours outside over the weekend and taking 3000IUI of Vitamin D for the last week. Before this I was on 1200IUI of D3 via supps.
Free T4 = 4.63 pg/mL Ref = (2.72 - 5.45)
TSH = 1.7 miu/L Ref = (0.30-4.00)
Free T3 = 1.3 pg/mL Ref = (0.8-1.77)
WBC count = 3.6 Ref = (4.0-11.0)
