Correcting low/normal testosterone? T 12, FSH 2.2, LH 3.7

[Guest guest]

Hey,

Im new to this group and would be very grateful if somebody could help me out by

answering my questions please.

Im 22 years old, male, and have an underactive thyroid.

I have had some tests done recently which reveal low/normal testosterone and Im

wondering how I can correct this? sorry this is quite a long message, but I need

to explain a bit about my background.

Im currently taking 3 grains of Armour Thyroid for my hypothyroidism, 27.5mg

Hydrocortisone and 50mg DHEA for adrenal fatigue (should come off the HC when my

thyroid is optimum).

My last tests were: (this was when I was on 35mg HC, 1.75 grain of Armour and no

DHEA)

Testosterone 12 (7-30) .....Im not sure if this is free or total and Im not

totally sure about the range

FSH 2.2 (1.5 - 12.4)

LH 3.7 (1.7 - 8.6)

FT3 4.6 (2.8-6.5)

FT4 11 (10-22)

TSH 1.4 (0.3-3)

As Im now on DHEA and 3 grains of Armour, Im expecting my next results to be

better. The endo wont do these as he says Im normal (But I dont quite feel it).

Im not getting FSH or LH done therefore, and the testosterone will be saliva

instead of serum.

I know hydrocortisone supresses testosterone, LH and FSH (or can do anyway) and

I think this may be at least partly why my results were on the low side..that

and a sub-optimal thyroid (apparently the FT3 should be top of range and FT4 in

the middle to be optimal).

I managed to come down to 27.5mg HC from 35mg and found a increase in libido and

erections (I think 35mg was too much), and when I lowered further to 22.5mg my

voice got a little deeper, but unfortunately I think my adrenals couldnt cope

and I was starting to get symptoms like light-headed upon standing, increased

allergies, feeling cold and cold hands (cortisol helps thyroid get into the

bodies tissues), so went back up to 27.5mg. My voice has now got a bit higher

than it was at 22.5mg.

So now Im looking to help my testosterone out a bit while I get my thyroid

optimal and also I heard it strengthen the body so Im hoping it will help

strengthen my adrenals. I don't know what would be good for this tho..could

anybody tell me a bit about things to raise testosterone? Things Iv heard of

are: testosterone cream, clomiphene and supplements like tribulus (Am i right in

thinking there is only anecdotal evidence for this tho?).

Any comments about anything Iv written would be greatly appreciated

Thanks
