Just left my endo and it was a completely uneventful visit

[dirkmcgirk]

BW was taken fasted at 5pm and is as follows:

HGB A1C 5.6 (4.8-5.9)
Cortisol 17.8 (PM 2.3-11.9)
Total Test 836 (348-1197)
Free Test 17.7 (8.7-25.1)
Vit D 16.20 (31-100)
Estradiol 55.1 (7.63-42.6)
Leuteinizing Hor 6.91 (1.7-8.6)
FSH 5.1 (1.5-12.4)
Prolactin 30.2 (4.04-15.2)
Sex Hormone Binding Globulin 74.14(8-48)

So my endo ordered some additional tests and prescribed my vitamin D. I told how i've never done steroids and how i seem to develop some light gyno and how my lifts and libido have gone to shit and he simply prescribed me some viagra and said i was just probably up in my head. I asked him specifically about my estrogen level and he said even though it was high i am still relatively healthy and it was nothing to worry about and i don't need an AI or anti estrogen med. I feel like this has been a colossal waste of time an exercise in futility. What are the next steps i should take

Prolactin is high out of range? Lower that and it should fix your issues

Depending on what additional tests it may not have been a waste of time at all. Is he checking your pituitary at all?

Well at least you got your blood work done and have your results. Now you just need to find a better doctor.
