[QUOTE="John O'Connor, post: 37188, member: 13064"] I agree - on the full thyroid panel. Ask them to include Reverse T3 also. Anti-TPO will be definitive test for Hashimoto's thyroiditis. Also check Vitamin D. There is a big link between thyroid and low Vit D. TSH of 4.0 is elevated, but not excessively and it can vary throughout the day. And have complete blood work Nelson recommends: [url]https://www.excelmale.com/forum/showthread.php?3488-Blood-Tests-Needed-Before-and-During-Testosterone-Replacement-Therapy&highlight=blood+nelson[/url] Can anyone advise whether it would be better to get off of Clomid 1st to get more accurate baseline numbers? That is assuming you are still on Clomid or were for the above blood work. Having baselines of SHBG, DHEA-S, etc. will help dial in your levels once on TRT. Also if your estradiol above was not the "sensitive" version, then you need that re-done anyway. [/QUOTE]
