As I predicted, they came back as “low-end, yet perfectly normal” however I am very skeptical as to their true accuracy. Post the numbers. " Perfectly normal " low end raises interest. Compare your results here: http://www.alt-support-impotence.org/hormone_charts.htm You should now that the low end of normal in most lab ranges puts you around the lowest 5 to 10%. And that can have profound impacts on your well being. Especially as the normal range is not done by age either. A lot of those guys in the low end are70 and 80. You don't belong there.

I am dying to get back to normal, but I think that HCG/Clomid/whatever would be a better idea, however im terrified of those side effects as well. I think your right here. Clomid test can be short term. " reboot " can be done in 2 to three months, if its going to work. See if your doc can get his hands on this case study: http://www.medibolics.com/Clomid.htm {I've put in a request with the author to see if he can forward a copy to me.

Guest guest Posted May 20, 2004 Report Share Posted May 20, 2004 my very quick response: 1) TRT will shut down your system and hault your natural production. 2) You are young, chances are your body will kick back into guear given time. 3) YEs, HCG and Clomid are worth considering. Keep doing the research. Work out. Take zinc. Eat healthy. Should be able to beat the problems. Armyguy P.S. What exactly did your blood levels come back at on all of your test? > > Hey everyone, > > > > I recently went to my endocrinologist to get my blood tests analyzed.

One, do nothing and wait it out (though that seems ineffective for nearly everyone). Two, testocreme/shots/pills whichever I preferred. > > > > Given that I now trust doctors about as far as I can throw them, I declined on the testosterone. He said " my system doesn't look like it has been permanently damaged, so maybe giving it testosterone would get me back on track " . I asked him if it would " shut my system down " and he said " it shouldn't " …boy, was that reassuring.

I am dying to get back to normal, but I think that HCG/Clomid/whatever would be a better idea, however im terrified of those side effects as well. I am still really young (20), so I am afraid that I am more susceptible to side effects from " hormone type " drugs. He said that I can have a copy of my blood results, but I forgot to get them from him (not to mention that my DHT/SHBG tests were still pending). DHT readings seem to be important for people in my situation. I emailed a request for my results asking him to send them to me, but no response just yet, of course I will post them when they arrive. > > > > Anyhow, given that I respect the opinions of this group more than any doctors ive seen, I'd like to know what you guys think. > > > > Thanks, > > > Tom > > > > --------------------------------- > Post your free ad now!
