Hey guys, I'll try and keep this as brief as I can while including at the relevant info.
I'm 38 and for the last few years I've had all the classic "low t" symptoms. Told my doctor, got bloodwork done for thyroid, he said it was fine. Get more sleep is the advice given.
Fast forward to this summer, was sick of the no libido thing, had trouble losing weight this past year so went to an anti-aging clinic and got more bloodwork done this time with testosterone.
8/2012
Test Serum - 320
Range 348-1197
Free Test - 4.2
Range 5 - 21
So I'm clearly out of range, agree to administer test myself with injections.
50mg Test E - 2X a week
250iu HCG - 3X a week
.25 Adex - 3X a week
Results: Feel great, libido is back, amazing social change (much more confident and funny like I used to be)
New bloodwork
10/2012
Test Serum - 910
Range 348-1197
Free Test - 22
Range 5-21
Estradiol Sensitive - 10
Range 3-70
Now here's the part that worries me (because my doctor told me it was fine this summer):
TSH - 6.49
Range .45 - 4.5
T4 - 7.2
Range 4.5 - 12
T3 uptake - 32
Range 24-39
Free T4 - 2.3
Range 1.2-4.9
Can anyone help me interpret these results? I think it might be time to get a new doctor...
Thanks in advance for reading this and any replies!
