Re: Lab Results- what to ask of Dr. at Wednesdays apt?

[Guest guest]

I would need to see the ranges of these labs not all labs have the same range.

Also I don't see Estradiol, LH, FSH and SHBG with out them labs I can't tell you

why your low. And it would be good to see Free T3, Free T4, RT3 and TSH for

your Thyroid. You do show very low and if your estradiol was tested and good

below 35 pg/ml and if your LH and FSH were also low I would say your Secondary

and you might have a Pituitary problem. Or if your LH and FSH were high with

good Estradiol I would then tell you your Primary meaning yout testis can keep

up or make enough T. Bottom line here is don't go on TRT until you know why

your low if you do go on it you will not be able to tell why TRT shuts down your

brain from sending LH and FSH.
