I had my own blood work done about 2 months ago; didn't go through a doctor since I wanted to have my own baseline and I also didn't want to put doctors on alert and result in discriminating because they thought I'm trying to get something out of them. I'm not looking for TRT and don't want them to immediately jump to that conclusion; I'm just trying to figure out if anything is out of whack with my body.
I'm just looking for general thoughts/feedback based on the numbers from my lab results. My gut tells me that my results are likely fine/atypical, aligns for someone my age, and that there's no obvious issue here. Let me know what you think. I understand no one here is a doctor, and any input provided is simply opinion or anecdotal. I've added additional context and the lab results below. I appreciate the help
Sex/Libido
What prompted this was I didn't feel that my libido is quite what it used to be, my erections aren't great (not bad... but not great), rarely have morning wood and pretty much never have random boners, drugs like viagra (rarely used) don't provide the kick they once did, and sometimes porn doesn't even do it for me.
High level cycle history, and current stats:
My last cycle was 8 years ago, proper PCT was done. It's only within the last 1-2 years that I've been questioning if I'm "operating" the way I should be; meaning I haven't felt I had any gym performance or sex/libido issues up until 1-2 years ago. I still work out ~5 days a week, currently I'm 5'8" @ 170lbs (always had a hard time retaining my gains) and my bodyfat is lowish @ 10-11% using a 6 site measurement. With that said, I eat well and clean, but I also feel like my performance has been declining, retaining the muscle mass I have is becoming harder, and I'm seeing ever so slight increase in fat. However this is not the primary reason I started looking into blood work; this is just supplemental information if it helps provide any useful context.

- I have a CMP14+CBC/D/PLT panel results as well, and I can post them up, but I don't think there's anything interesting in there, or anything that would be relative to the particular sex/libido issue I'm looking at. Everything there is normal range, pretty boring numbers.
