Blood Work

[90redlx]

I have not been on the forum in quite some time now... over 8 years i think. Over the last 5 years I have been off and on cycles and never had any problems as far as I knew. I have been off since the beginning of Oct 2013. I recently went to a endo to have my bloodwork done. What concerns me is my Test, FSH, LH, and Prolactin Levels. I am new to learning the finer points of bloodwork resuslt so any feedback would be appreciated.

Did you run a pct after your last cycle?

Test is low. Always good to know free T as well as that is what works for us.
Prolactin on the high end and it can suppress your T a bit.
TSH is elevated and you should consider a full thyroid panel. Yes, it's in the given range but that's an old range. A more modern, accepted range is .3 - 3.0. A full panel would tell you if your edging on hypothyroidism, which can cause hypogonadism.
LH & FSH definitely lower so I'm curious if it's related to poor recovery from your last cycle or possibly a pathology.

I did run pct. Not sure if it is poor recovery. I felt generally fine since going off, didn't lose any weight, never had problems in the bedroom, not depressed or stressed out.

I am looking into getting more extensive blood work done. I believe it is possible I have been like this for a long time. I had major sergery when I was younger and was on a ton of meds. Then had a spell of drug abuse in my teens. I probably threw myself out of whack years ago and never noticed.

In the Finding A Doc sticky thread is an example of BW. Be sure to get that full thyroid panel this time. Work on correcting things first. A future consideration may be a restart as well.
