THis needs to be moved to steroid forum not antiaging

Any way your body is trying to kick back on and may take longer. I had a client that came off HRT and had high LH that lasted 6 months till his levels returned to normal. He also had other adrenal issues that needing addressing as well as lifestyle, and few nutritional imbalances.

You may have low t symptoms, but you don't have low t, so i'd start looking into other causes. Lyme disease? some sort of other infection?

Depression?
Body still may being trying to get back to normal. I have seen Dr patients stay like this for 6 month after stopping hrt or other Anabolic steroid withdrawal cases I worked on. Some people take longer to rebound.

With high LH, usually you'll have low test. You don't. Your balls are keeping up with the increased LH, which is what tells them to produced testosterone. I agree with EasyEJL, because if you had low test AND high LH, something would be wrong (it would indicate your balls were malfunctioning, and could not keep up with the increased LH production). But simply having high LH, if everything were working properly, one would expect high testosterone, which you have. Just be happy your estradiol isn't higher!!! Your prolactin isn't elevated (looks pretty normal to me, actually), and your thyroids look good as well. I don't know what could be causing you to have increased LH production without low testosterone. The only things I can think of (there is probably a simpler and better solution, and I am NOT a doctor, so this is purely speculation) would be a pituitary adenoma (which I have). This causes your body to secrete extra LH independent of the input stimulus. Or, if your body actually wants to have a higher level of estradiol acting on the hypothalamus (you're not still using an AI or a SERM, are you?), that would cause it to bump up LH. The reason being is that your body measures testosterone through estradiol (since testosterone aromatizes to estradiol). As such, if your estradiol production is inhibited, your body may overcompensate by bumping up LH in an attempt to get the estradiol to the proper level. Anywho, again, I am not a doctor. These are just some thoughts I've come across. Honestly, I PERSONALLY would get a pituitary MRI next, and have a knowledgable endocrinologist look at it and check for an adenoma. I'm sure I'll catch some **** for this, but you know, my adenoma popped out of nowhere (or at least the symptoms). Now that I know it's there, I can treat for it, and if it gets bigger, cut that bitch out. Knowing is definitely better than not knowing! Anywho, hope I helped! Good luck, and keep us informed so that we (or at least I) can learn from you! Take it easy man, and try not to stress out too much over it!

I agree another secondary MRI scan needs to be done by a good endo to rule things out.
