    History of my bloodwork and latest results

    I have posted before maybe under a different username that I cant get into now and described my journey from Starting HRT.
    I wanted your guys thoughts on my results.
    A bit of background. I started my HRT in around 2008 I had a undecended testis removed and felt like crap. Got tested for Testosterone and was put on Androgel for a few months before being switched to Sustanon 250 injections every 3 weeks, which they then changed to 2 weeks. This whole while I was trying to have a baby with my wife and didn’t realise the affect the Test was having on my sperm count. When I found out after doing a fertility test a few years into my HRT treatment (around 2011) I stopped it and waited for my sperm to return.
    I have now moved to North America and we have a baby whos a few months. Im still felling like crap and thought about getting back to the HRT. I have had some blood tests and the most recent results are at the bottom. What do you guys think, do I still need the HRT?

    Results 16 Oct 2008 – Before any treatment and after my op
    Serum testosterone LO 5.2 nmol/L (10-30)
    Serum sex hormne binding glob LO 14 nmol/L (15-55)
    Free androgen index 37.1 (30-100)
    LH was 9 (1-10) and FSH 9 (1-16)

    I wont give the results I had while on TRT as they are irrelevant, Some were high some were low until I got the dosage right and was consistent. I stopped HRT in 2011/2012. And nothing since.

    I saw my Endo here in N America and he said with the current results it doesn’t seem that I need HRT and the feeling like crap could be something else. What do you guys think about the results.

    (When I say crap, I mean the usual low Test symptoms, libido, energy etc.)
