TRT Information Request/Advice

[PopoloBear]

KelKel,

Sadly I'm pretty sure my local doctor that did the second test is not competent (although I could be wrong). She suggested that my blood work and the symptoms I listed previously shows that my T levels are absolutely fine and there is no need to investigate further. It also seemed like I had more information about TRT and low T then she did, although again I could be wrong.

The doctor, from the TRT clinic and first test, seems to be very knowledgeable, although the only thing I could call into question is that we've only had phone consultations (due to being in different states) and that the doctor is representing a private company that sole business is treating low T patients. Not sure if they have my best interests in mind.

I don't see LH or FSH listed in any of my labs either. I'll ask both doctors to see if it is in the tests results but labeled something else or if I can get tested.

I'll do more inquiring to see if I can find out the cause of these levels prior to embarking down the TRT path with the resources I have locally.

Thanks for answering my PCT question, I'll look into serms as an alternative.

Sadly that is the case 90% or more with GP. If you want to have someone local test you via insurance go see a fertility doctor. My experience was VERY good with the one I saw. He was VERY knowledgeable about low T, TRT, estrogen (most GP thinks E2 does not mater in men) and HCG.

Yeah LH and FSH are important as KelKel points out. You can also order the test online and go to a local lab. It's only around $150 for the full blown test through Private MD labs .com Hormone Panel for Males
