  1. Please help with my blood results - 26 yo male

    She didn't get bioavailable testosterone checked, the most important measure of androgen levels in the blood? Run from this idiot. Again, you need your free or bioavailable T levels checked since your total T is in a grey area. Your free T4 is on the lower side. Too bad she didn't test free...

  2. Massachusetts doctors.

    Don't even think about this: See Abraham Morgentaler (a urologist) at Men's Health Boston. He takes insurance, treats low normal testosterone levels, and has been studying testosterone since he was an undergrad at Harvard. This guy is very very good. He has a book, "Testosterone for Life" that...

  3. HCG QUESTION PLZ HELP

    You did not fry your leydig cells. Stop worrying about that. Cenegenics gives way more HCG than your getting and they have no such problems. Shippen also gives high doses of HCG to some of his patients. Without blood tests there is no way of knowing what happened to you, but I do know that HCG...

  4. DOCS IN CALIFORNIA: ULLIS or MARIANO?

    Is cost an issue?

  5. HCG QUESTION PLZ HELP

    What do you mean it stopped working? Was this confirmed through blood tests or is this based on the return of symptoms? Please explain. There is nothing wrong with that dosage for HCG monotherapy. I'm curious though, is HCG monotherapy something YOU wanted to try or did the doctor suggest this?

  6. Headaches Still after H-Drol

    See a GOOD neurologist. This could be something serious. Even if it's not, a neurologist should be able to help you. Just make sure this neurologist is good. BTW, have you had any vision problems? Peripheral vision OK? Have you had your hormones checked? I'm looking for LH, FSH, TSH values.

  7. I have a script for Test Cypionate. Now what to do????

    Yes, like everybody has said: Blast and cruise. You could up your dose a bit to 150mg every five days and see if you feel any better or add in some HCG, but upping your dose too much and sending your T levels into the supraphysiological range is not good long term.

  8. hCG help

    You already have estradiol? Your doctor isn't addressing this? That's not a good sign. You may need to find a new doctor. HCG is not for kick starting your hypothalamus. Clomid or nolvadex are for this. HCG is for kick starting the testes, reversing atrophy and getting them to produce T. And...

  9. Headaches Still after H-Drol

    Allergy shots can take up to a year to start working. It depends on how aggressive they are being with the dosage and frequency.

  10. Has anyone been to an Internist?

    Do a google search on diagnosing Addison's disease (adrenal insufficiency) and bring it to the internist. Tell him you're worried about your very low blood pressure and weight loss. As far as the low T is concerned. You have 3 options. Option 1: Find a copy of the book "Testosterone for Life"...

  11. Has anyone been to an Internist?

    Addisons cannot be ruled out by a cortisol serum blood test. If addison's is suspected, the appropriate test would be a ACTH stimulation test. So, to be clear: unless you have had a ACTH stimulation test, you have not ruled out addison's. You should pursue this. Yes, ask the internist to run...

  12. Has anyone been to an Internist?

    I need more info. What medications are you on? Any health conditions that you haven't disclosed (even if you don't think they are related)? You without a doubt deserve a trial of testosterone. It will probably help you tremendously. The problem is finding a competent doctor, which are few and...

  13. Going to endo in the morning. Janz/Matrix Advice?

    Your doctor is an idiot. There is no way to pick an optimum level of testosterone before it is administered. The only true way to select an optimum level of T for a patient is to continue to increases the dose (with the upper end of normal being the limit) until symptoms abate. If there is no...

  14. 25yrs, 5 labs, pre endo please help :)

    You really have no way of telling if cortisol is a problem or not without first having a urine or saliva test. Right now, you have no idea what your cortisol levels are like. Tell the doctor that you would like to rule out Cushing's disease with a urine test since your cortisol serum came back...

  15. 25yrs, 5 labs, pre endo please help :)

    If I were your endo, I would tell you that everything looks normal, tell you that I want to recheck your levels in a few months, offer you some depression medication, take your money, and drive off in my Lexus. Why you ask? Because I'm an endocrinologist and that's what I do. If I wasn't an...

  16. TRT Question

    The only other two drugs that you should consider using are arimidex or hcg. Only use arimidex if your E2 becomes a problem. Use HCG if you want to prevent testicular atrophy or reverse it if already present. I would go ahead and start using HCG now before your testes are damaged. 250IU the day...

  17. Please help with my blood results - 26 yo male

    The difference in testosterone is 75%-different lab companies and 25%-normal variation in levels. I checked out HealthEast and on the website for their lab, it says that they are in a partnership with the Mayo Clinic Labs. The testosterone tests from the Mayo always come back significantly...

  18. Has anyone heard of this Dr in New York?

    Stay away from him. He is not a good doctor. If you search the hypogonadism2 yahoo group for his name, you will see what I'm talking about. Don't even bother with him. Why don't you try Michael Aziz instead. There's a video of him on youtube. He sounds very knowledgeable and takes insurance.

  19. Please help with my blood results - 26 yo male

    Yeah, then there is something strange going on still. SHBG and free testosterone tests will clear this confusion up. Pressure him to run both of these tests. Absolutely essential. One last thought. Were the two labs done at the same place? Judging from the difference normal ranges, I'm thinking...

  20. Please help with my blood results - 26 yo male

    Well, then your total T did not change much from before. It makes much more sense than the 585. Being less than 450ng/dl, your total T is in a range such that if you have symptoms of hypogonadism, a competent doctor would give you a trial run of trt. Since you are worried about fertility, a...
