Here’s my story:

viewtopic.php?f=3&t=4270

I’m going to see a urologist next week and an endo next month.

My blood test results:

                   RESULT                   RANGE

TSH: 1.75 mIU/L 0.40-4.50
LH: 7.6 mIU/L 1.5-9.3
FSH 6.2 mIU/L 1.6-8.0
Total Test. 471 ng/dl 250-1100
% Free Test. 2.36% 1.5-2.2
Free Test. 110.9 pg/ml 35.0-155.0
Estradiol 43 pg/ml <52
DHEA 553 ng/dl 61-1636
Thyroxine Free 1.14 ng/dl 0.8-1.8
Prolactin 12.5 ng/ml 2.0-18.0
DHT 37 ng/dl 25-75
SHBG 22 7-49

Seems like Prolactin is high and Estradiol is high. Any comments?

Your estradiol is on the high end. Actually your Free Testosterone looks pretty good, unlike most of us. I’m not sure about the above range on the % though. Anyone know if this is good or bad?

You are missing a bunch of stuff you should add to your next test. Add Thyroid hormones, Total T3, Free T3, Total T4, Free T4, Reverse T3, IGF1 & get adrenals tested.

A lot of us seem to have a thyroid & adrenal issue, so try to rule that out.

you should try this:

get doc to agree to test only total t and estradiol again, take it after 2-3 weeks of taking indolplex dim

dim should be able to lower e2 and up total t a couple hundred points

total t4 looks low, need more testing

thyroid low -> suspect adrenal issue as well

take a 4x cortisol saliva test or a 24h urine test as i did which showed up pretty low

get vitamin d tested, if deficient you could up total t levels as well

dht looks good and with e2 in place, you should have some good feeling and libido/wood

Thanks so much guys. I’m not used to this hormone terminology because this whole thing is sorta new to me.

Is e2 estradiol?

So indoplex dim will raise t and lower estrogen? I’ll try finding it and give it a shot.

I’ll also ask for vitamin d and thyroid tests…are there various ones I should ask for or just a few general tests?

And what is the cortisol test good for? Testing testosterone levels?

I’ll also ask about having my adrenals tested as well.

Should I stop taking all the supplements I’m taking before getting the blood tests to see what m body naturally produces without the influence of these substances?

I am eternally grateful for your advice, it means so much to me especially because I really have no one to talk to about this except clueless doc’s.

Your bloods are fine, you are in perfect health(according to those tests)my friend

Tim, my blood tests say I’m in good health, however sexually I am a fraction of what I was before fin. It seems like a lot of guys on this forum have good blood tests but still have problems. I think that maybe before fin my testosterone was high and my estrogen low and now those figures have reversed, high E low T.

There’s something wrong when you can’t get a decent erection, one that lasts for that matter. The only things left wrong with me are sexual; weak erections, NO spontaneous morning or nocturnals, and low libido. Waking up every morning with a cold dick is not a great way to start your day.

It is deffiently something that does not show up in regular blood tests.

And i agree waking up with a cold dick is a nightmare
