what were the other results bro? There are feedback mechanisms that affect FSH so it’s useful to see the hormonal picture as a whole.....

My test levels have dropped out of the blue for some reason as well and my estrogen - only thing i have been taking is N acetyl cysteine and have stopped it
here are my results
FOLLICLE STIM. HORMONE came in at 3.3 - range 1.5 - 12.4
LH - 4.4 RANGE - 1.7 - 8.6 ( so thats ok i take it?)
TESTOSTERONE 11.5 --- RANGE 7.6 - 32.4 ( MASSIVE DROP SINCE TAKING NAC IT WAS 23.6 BEFORE)
Oestridial - 92 out of range of 190 ( was 120 before)

to be honest bro that would all been highly indicative of someone who’s run a steroid cycle and is still recovering after pct.
the next likely cause would be a pituitary gland malfunction (theres a number of possible causes, some very serious indeed).
testosterone being suppressed can indeed reduce lh and FSH (would normally expect to see both low though)
that fertility study on NAC shows it increasing testosterone by the way...... it will not be the reason for that big a drop
I’m actually hoping for your benefit you’ve taken something like a prohormone or sarm (or anabolic) as that would be an easy one to explain where you are now at. The alternatives aren’t as good in my opinion

Hello thank you for your reply, no no sarms or prohormones nothing, i did take olympus labs testify but that was back in december - and i just got told by the doctor my vitamin D levels are ridiculously high and my calcium levels have dropped, obviously there is something out of whack here and there ordering another blood test for thyroids
also regarding NAC, so you think thats not the problem?

ive never seen NAC cause that issue to that level......
hormones change constantly and time of day, sleep, diet, training etc can affect them, your testosterone swing is massive though.
see what the next set are but I would then be asking the doctor to look at the underlying cause options

My sleep has definitely been horrendous past 6 months, just had a little one so lack of sleep has been savage along with working 6 days a week

yep, that will tell us a lot. There’s not many people you’ll find online that understand hormone issues more than a collection of saucy mother fuckers like us
we mess with our own hormones more than anyone else so most of us like to have a decent understanding of what we are doing and how it all works. Glad it’s being of use to you congrats on the little one btw. My two are 8 and 10 now but I recall the sleepless early days far too clearly still

Thanks man the sleep deprivation is savage! I'm thinking after I went off of testify I took vitabolics multivitamin which has ashwaghanda init, then I took rainbow light mens performance multi, all of those have slight test boosting ingredients I think cause I went on one after the other that's 3 months of using test boosting supps that my own endocrine system has shutdown ( mind I came off of them last month and only been on nac) obviously will see from the bloods wether I can rebound but I didn't think being on herbal supps would cause such suppressionyep, that will tell us a lot.

I am 99.9% it’s not the herbal supplements bro. They just don’t have that level of impact (or even close to).
lifestyle factors would play a much bigger role and something just prior to your last test could have given a particularly low reading that day - that’s why the next results are key

Really? So if you went on a herbal test booster for ages wouldn't your own test shutdown? or would your body just reject it to degree and your hormone will stay the same?

herbal test boosters dont suppress your own test production, they (in theory, most do Jack ****) encourage you to produce more of your own test

Carnitine improves sperm quality, morphology
Any antioxidant protocol would improve sperm q = vit-c quercetin, k2, pomegranate, ubiquanol, etc
Galangal ginger has sperm improvement studies
Most anything that improves test would also increase Fsh - especially bulgarian tribulus, mucuna, eurycoma (100:1 or 200:1)
look into m-test, alphamax, outbreak rise, + galangal tea, carnitine.
ginseng would help with cognition quality from sleep deprivation- my wife is 8 mo preg n I plan to cycle that first couple months.
