When I first saw my HRT doctor, he said my condition may be because I lost around 70 lbs in 2005, causing my hormones to get off balance. That's why he said to stay off the shots until I had these tests done. I think a refeed sounds like a good idea, but I don't think I am to off from my...
Wow thanks a ton for the reply Matrix, very informative. I eat oatmeal (old fashioned oats) everyday for bkf and watch my diet to a tee. I'd say i eat plenty of fat, as i put 2 tbsp of pb in my oatmeal and prob have another 2 tbsp b4 bed. I was trying to shed the last 5 or so pounds to get...
I haven't done anything HRT related, per Dr.'s request, since my last cyp shot on 03/08/08.
Dr. had me do a 24hr-urine test on May 15, 2008, and I just wanted to get your thoughts on my results. Hope you guys will be able to shed some light on why some are so high.

well after my consultation with Dr.Crisler, he thinks I shouldn't have been put on HRT without first knowing what might be causing my low levels.
he thinks i might have thrown my body out of wack when I lost 70lbs ~1.5yrs ago. he thinks my leptin and hgh might not be right, so he wants me to...
Sorry if I came across like I was showing animosity towards Dr. Crisler I don't have any at all. I was just really upset at my endo for him telling me I shouldn't be feeling bad and that I didn't need the treatment.
FYI (not that it really matters)I didn't mention anything about insurance on...
BAD NEWS
Mom just go off the phone with the endo and he said he doesn't even think I need to be on TRT!
He said I don't have any severe symptoms, ie: lack of facial hair, lack of deepening of the voice, low numbers.
I was suffering from: (keep in mind I'm 22yrs old ~135lbs 5'4".5 / bf >15%)
-...
I'm going to ask his opinion on the said issues and try not to be too aggressive with him and let him still feel like he's the doc and I'm the patient (ie: not come across like I'm questioning his procedure/methods...too much ;))
update
alright I just talked with my mom and she has at least read about Dr. Crisler's protocol, as well as left a message with him asking about why he doesn't accept insurance and for him to call her back.
my mom wants me to make a list of questions to ask my endo that relate to Dr. Crisler's...
not yet..
no idea why, what kind of tests would you suggest?
Total T went from 548ng/dL to 460ng/dL, but he said that didn't matter cause my Free T went up from 5.62ng/dL to 6.84ng/dL (3.68-19.12) with the 2.5g of Androgel
thanks for the links Road, lots of good info there. he switched me to...

Thanks so much for responding everyone. That regiment sounds good to me JanSz.
Here's the thing though, my current vial is good until 2/2009. I'm sure my refills will have a longer exp. date when I get them. I was planning on jst getting a new bottle when the current one is almost out. If...
Well, good and bad news. Good news is my endo switched me to injections 200mg Test Cyp. from 2.5g Androgel daily. Bad news, it's only once every 4 weeks.
I see him again in 5 months, he wants me to get blood drawn before and after my 4th shot (4th month) He said once he see the results he will...
