Blood test results

[Indiana J]

Hi again guys...
I posted about 4 months ago with some blood work. Was fighting with my GP about a referral. After having symptoms for the past few months, I sucked it up and went the clinic route.
Here are my results:

LH- .7 (1.2-10.6mIU/mL)
FSH- .6 (.7-10.8mIU/mL)
Estradiol- 40 (0-39.8 pg/mL)
Test- 350 (250-1100)
T free- 36.4 (35-155)
IGF-1 - 13 (5-34)

What do you guys think? I go tomorrow for my physical, then hopefully within 48-72 hours be on to a better life!!

The low FSH is concerning.. that usually take a while to go down compared to LH. also your estrogen is pretty high but you have a decent free-test which suggests your SHBG isnt that high which is a good thing for a total test level of 350.

If you want to postpone TRT (its a lifetime thing... no need to rush in, you wanna make sure its the right thing) You may wanna ask about a clomid therapy (esp if u want kids) or trying a HCG /HMG therapy to boost the LH/FSH to see if that helps. Also, if you do one of those things, running a low dose AI might be needed also to lower your estrogen.
be sure to ask doc questions, and try to be informed on possible solutions when you go in there but dont try to tell the doc what to do, that will only irritate them (depending on the doc.. some are better than others) Just be well informed and ask questions, its much easier to talk about a complex topic with someone informed on the subject than it is to a total stranger that has no clue
