After seeing the result the doc told me i was fine, it was all in the head.

Went to see 2nd urologist who send me to see Androlog Specialist
who order 3rd blood test and semen analysis.

Third blood test focus only on the following

Thyroid

Total Testosterone 340 ng/dl 280 - 800

Sperm Analysis
Volume 1.8 ml 2 - 10
Sperm Count 120 million
Abnormal Sperm 5%

Doc told me everthing was ok

In 2005 Had another Sperm analysis by the same doctor
Volume 1.8 ml 2 - 10
Sperm check 140 million
Abnormal sperm 5%

With all the 4 doctor i went, not one order blood test for estrogen.
I was stupid for not requesting it but next month i will do it. Need to
save money because blood test are quite espensive.

Up date on by hormone test

                      Result                Normal range for male

Progesteron 0.87 ng/ml 0.28 -1.22

Estradiol 27.00 pg/ml < = 52

Testosteron 372.90 ng/dl 280 - 800 ng/dl

It seems that my estradiol is not high but why do i have bad case of Gyno? Perhaps it is my testosteron ratio to estrogen that is out of whack.
I try to test SHBG but it must be done outside the country and it is expensive so i guess more saving is in the way.

I need to find a doctor who will prescribe me clomid, i need to try to boost
my testosterone.

#3

try something called maca powder
it improved my libido slightly

#4

hey kemangd,

where is the lab results for your free testosterone? Thanks.

#5

Oneday i never have my free testo and SHBG tests
these tests are currently unavailable in my country. If i want to test them the lab must send it to United state and it cost me a fortune.

So i guess i have to wait untill i am much more better financially before
i have thess test done.

#6

maybe you should have more tests
to see if your numbers are improving
do you feel better

#7

Up date on my hormone test (taking Arimidex twice a week at .25mg)

  • Testosteron 421.70 ng/dl 280 - 800 ng/dl

  • Estradiol 16 pg/ml <= 52 pg/ml

  • Total Cholesterol 210 mg/dl < 200 good (fasting 11.5 hours)
    200 - 239 High

  • LDL cholesterol 155 mg/dl <= 100 mg/dl
    100 - 129 (medium)
    130 - 159 (high)
    160 - 189 (high upper limit)
    Above 190 (dangerous)

  • HDL Cholesterol 39 mg / dl 40 - 60 mg/dl

  • Trigliserida 140 mg/dl < 150 mg/dl

All the test is taken at 8.30 in the morning after 11.5 hour of fasting.

Arimidex reduce my estradiol from 27 to 16 and increase my total
testo from 372 - 421. I think estradiol at 16 pg/ml is too low, the best
should be around 20.

Also arimidex has risen my LDL (bad) cholesterol and lower my HDL(good)
cholesterol and increase my trigliserida too.

I will reduce my arimidex dose to once a week at .25 mg and see what
happened.

This is my recent bllod test, it is done yesterday at 08.15 in the morning.

GOT 20 <33 U/L
GPT 24 <50>= 40 mg/dl

Ureum 32 13 - 43 mg/dl
Creatinin 0.9 0.7 - 1.2 mg/dl

Estradiol 21.00 <= 52 pg/ml
Testosterone 428.30 280 - 800

The last time i took .25 mg of Arimidex was in November 2009.
Overall i feel better now, erection is easier to achieve, i have start gaining
muscle on my arm and thigh, my beard is growing faster than before
but i still have alot of fat on my chest.

I was thinking about what Kazman wrote “what appears to be important is where we make DHT, not just how much we have of it”

This is simply true, i don’t have problem with my unit any more if i am
aroused i feel its sensitivity, erection is good etc which mean the conversion of testosterone into DHT is happening there. The testosterone can attached itself into the androgen receptor in that area.

On the other hand, my breast is not responding to the circulating testosterone and have actually grow bigger (yeah it really sucks). If
you look at the blood test result estradiol is only 21 pg/ml, that is consider
to be low normal yet my breast is bigger. So the theory behind it could
be that the androgen recptor in that area may not be working properly
the circulating testosterone have no impact whatsoever, in normal man
the conversion of testo into DHT is happening at the chest while for me it does not.

I am thinking about Awor’s androgen Insensitivity theory and i want
to add that it may not occur in all your body, it could just be in some
part of the body in my case it’s the breast and in other member it’s their
unit hence you feel the disconected feeling, insensitive to touch etc.
