First post, I started reading here a while back and used private md labs for the male hormone test. I havent been feeling good for a long time now and stumbled into a trt thread on a gun forum which led me here.
Here are the results, if you guys want to see any other numbers on the test (the $176 one) let me know. I have an appointment with an endo on the 4th and my gp before that on the 29th. I am switching gp's and thats the main reason for seeing both.
I was thinking of asking to have more labs done with my gp that could help when I see the endo, recommendations on what other tests to run? LH, FSH, prolactin, cortisol? I know the TSH is off, reading here it looks like I would want that around 1 not 6. The T levels are also low, which I'm hoping is a result of the thyroid and will come back to normal. If it doesnt I'm sure a 198 for a 29 year old makes me a candidate for trt. Anyways any advice is appreciated, I'll update this as things go forward with what the doctor says and treatment/results. Thanks
