I know! It's great! I have been pleasantly surprised with the quality of advice I have received on this site.

Where are your Thyroid labs?

Know---> Hypothyroidism will cause Hypogonadism.

We need to see your Thyroid labs

Unfortunately, what you see is what I have had done. As far as my Thyroid is concerned, I have tested the levels of my TSH, FSH, and LH, and that's it! Believe it or not, my endocrinologist is simply trialing me on Synthroid; and if my quality of life doesn't improve, he plans to start me on Testosterone without further testing. He doesn't even seemed concern about finding a diagnosis! Just the treatment for my issues on the surface. Thus, I am in desperate need for more testing, and am seeking advice from the experienced members of this forum.

"Know---> Hypothyroidism will cause Hypogonadism." I've been pondering this cause-effect recently. What is most prominent in my thoughts though, is the level of this connection. If I fully treat my hypothyroidism, will my testosterone levels increase to 500? Or a more appropriate level for a 20 year old, such as 800? I understand this is subjective, and will be found out through treating my hypothyroidism properly. Still though, what is the likelihood of my testosterone increase given the above tests? On a side note, testosterone runs high in my family, and I feel like that is why my symptoms at my hormone levels are severe as they are.
