Doubt it's a tumor or anything negative, but it's always suggested to run an MRI on the pituitary just to be safe.

    Would really rather see a E2 sensitive assay instead to the one you provided ...

    I would get with a doctor that can treat you effectively for this condition. BTW, although it's minor, the conversion on your testosterone serum is 371ng/dl. I wanted to just verify because of the LH score you provided. Just so you know, your free test % is 1.48% based on your provided SHBG and Albumin. Ideally, you would like to see this somewhere between 2% and 3%. This can be achieved by lowering your SHBG, which won't be overly difficult, but at the moment that shouldn't be the priority.

    You will probably need to get with a HRT specialist, but if your endo can help then great!
    thanks vette, looks like i will get onto the hrt specialist asap...i will be cutting and pasting a few responses to take with me and get his take on my issues- hopefully it may fire up a different way of thinking - in australia anti aging isnt common and docs down here tend to be conditioned into thinking differently to North America

    Yeah, I hear it's not very friendly down there this type of treatment. If a person really takes a close look at this, it really doesn't make much sense. All anyone expects is just to get their hormones to be "normal." It's not all that difficult, and the rewards for a patient are life changing!! Makes you wonder what they're so afraid of?
