Guest guest Posted June 18, 2010 Report Share Posted June 18, 2010 Dale if your Testosterone is low and you need Androgel your dam near shut down all ready. But it's best to find out why your low before going on TRT. If you take a low dose of any kind of Testosterone meds in about 10 days your going to be shut down. How this happens is your brain sees the added Testosterone in your blood and slows down sending the LH and FSH messages from your Pituitary that tells your Testis to make more T. If you doing know why your low it is dam hard to figure out why your low being on TRT. The two main things that cause this problem is being Primary meaning your Testis can't make enough T on labs your Total T is low and your LH and FSH is very high this is your brain telling your Testis you need more T. If your Total T is low and your LH and FSH is low with a good Estradiol this is Secondary it means your Pituitary is not working right not sending the LH and FSH messages. There are a lot of things that can make your Testosterone levels low Stress, Liver Problems, High Iron, High Prolactin, Infection, high Estradiol levels the list is long.

Guest guest Posted June 19, 2010 Report Share Posted June 19, 2010 Phil I am probably shut down. It's been two weeks. I am getting results though. Brain fog is reduced. Energy is up. Levitra requirements are down to 10mg from 20mg and this is still improving. I don't know why I have low T but life was bad and I had to move on this now. A lot of tests were done before I went on TRT. The list is below. Slightly High LDL but the ration of hdl/ldl is OK. Everything else is normal.

Guest guest Posted June 20, 2010 Report Share Posted June 20, 2010 Your labs look good and Chol. comes down on TRT the labs you needed are here at www.allthingsmale.com read TRT: A Recipe for Success they are listed there and why. Still your feeling better because the gel is bring up your levels this is good I pray it keeps up. And being on TRT for life if much better the walking around feeling like crap all your life. The men you see here are new of real sick most come here get better and you never hear from them again.

Guest guest Posted June 20, 2010 Report Share Posted June 20, 2010 Hi Phil Down the road I will want to maintain testicle size. I don't think any doctors around here (Canada West) would give me HCG. I have a cupboard full of Tongkat Ali. Has anyone successfully used this to maintain testicle size? > > > > > > > From: Dale <etherial@> > > > > Subject: Will 5g of androgel per > > day shut down LH? > > > > > > > > Date: Thursday, June 17, 2010, 10:00 PM > > > > Will 5g of androgel per day shut down > > > > LH? > > > > How will I know this has happened? > > > > What should I do about it? > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > ------------------------------------ > > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
