Guest guest Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 All labs are about like this I go in 2 weeks before I see my Dr. and do labs I take a list with me that the Dr. went over on my last visit. This way when I see him my labs are back.

Guest guest Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 My Endo said, if I wanted to get a sperm count I would need to be off TRT for about three weeks from the testing of Quest. Is this true or can I take this sperm test while on Ando? From: tomubl <ubl@...> Subject: Quest Diagnostics Date: Wednesday, October 22, 2008, 1:05 PM Why is Quest Diagnostics telling me it is going to take as much as 21 days to get the E2, Total and Free T portions of my initial tests back as recommended by Dr. . Estradiol (E2), I would think with as much of an importance it has to women that labs would be prepared for something less than a 21 day lead time. Are there any alternatives? I really want to find some form of meter or equipment to track testosterone free/total and E2, which seem to be the sticking points in getting my labs back. INITIAL LABWORK •Total Testosterone •Bioavailable Testosterone (AKA " Free and Loosely Bound " ) •Free Testosterone (if Bioavailable T is unavailable) •DHT •Estradiol (specify the Extraction Method, or " sensitive " assay for males) •LH •FSH •Prolactin •Cortisol •Thyroid Panel •CBC •Comprehensive Metabolic Panel •Lipid Profile •PSA (if over 40) •IGF-1 (if HGH therapy is being considered) FOLLOW-UP LABS Two weeks after initiating a transdermal, or five weeks after the first IM injection: •Total Testosterone •Bioavailable Testosterone •Free Testosterone (if Bioavailable T is still unavailable) •Estradiol (specify the Extraction Method, or " sensitive " assay for males) •DHT (especially if patient is using a transdermal delivery system) •FSH (3rd Generation—ultrasens itive assay this time) •CBC •Comprehensive Metabolic Panel •Lipid Profile •PSA (for more senior patients) •IGF-1 (if GH Therapy has been initiated already) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 Once your on TRT coming off it is not gerente your brain will start sending LH and FSH to your Testis. I have see guys come off TRT do HCG and have a baby then go back on it. Others nothing and stopping just 2 weeks will not work I have yet to see it work. Once you go on TRT that's it if you stop to try to make a baby you need to do HCG for a time then come off this and do clomid. The HCG gets your testis working again if your not Primary. Problem is most Dr.'s see your low and just jump on giving him TRT with out trying to figure out why they are low. So most men on TRT don't know if they are Primary meaning there Testis don't work well or Secondary meaning there is a Pituitary problem where the pit is not telling the testis to make T.

Guest guest Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 Good point Phil, but I have known that I was secondary from the git go. The iron overload had complicated the anterior lobe signaling of the pituitary. MRI's indicate normal size, not squished or flattened, no scares or lesions or tumors, but my pituitary has been flat lined by having hemochromatosis (iron overload). I am not a big fan of having to shoot hormones for the rest of my days, but what exactly does out healthcare system that is 37th in the world have to offer in terms of getting the anterior lobe to signal correctly again? I have conducted tons of research on this issue, and I simply do not see any alternatives to somehow fixing anterior lobe signaling deficiencies. If there is a procedure I really would like to know about it.

Guest guest Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 Me Too my pituitary is bad do to an auto accident where I hit my head in the roof of the car.

Guest guest Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 In addition to the iron issue I have had at least 6 concussions due to football, wrestling or fighting.

Guest guest Posted October 25, 2008 Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 I am still fighting the fight but I have come a long way with my heath I just kept at reading on web and getting my Dr. to run tests. When I found out my pituitary was bad after being told I am primary and only treating low T. I now treat all the low and low normal levels after all if your near the bottom end of a labs range this means your in the bottom % of all the people tested for this range and they are the real sick ones.
