Kelkel-
Thanks for the response! I'm glad you were the first to respond actually, since I've been following your posts and you are very knowledgeable in the area. To answer some of your questions:
- He didn't specifically say what caused this. He made me believe that I've been suffering from this since I was 15 because thats when I started having gyno problems. See, I was a fat kid growing up and when I went through puberty I lost 50+lbs in a summers time. Maybe that contributed to the issue? I don't know the answer to that, but he made me believe that this was a factor.
- The first blood work done by him, and the second were about 3-4 weeks apart. He made me do the blood work on the initial visit, then a week later we had the follow up and he placed me on TRT that day. He told me to do blood work in between two injections, and in 2-3 weeks we would do a follow up. Yesterday (1/17) was the follow up and he upped my dosage. Blood work on the bottom of this...
- I think you are right, I should pester him more on the root cause of this. Based on the results I posted below, what should be some follow up questions I should ask and what are your thoughts on this?
- And yes, maybe I was a bit forward thinking on the extra ancillaries lol. I'll be more patient and wait until I get my body more hormonally balanced before I do anything else

Didn't run LH of FSH on this blood work for some reason

Are there any additional blood work I should make him run along with these? Thanks again, much appreciated and a big help!
