BTT Sorry, still need help. Anyone have suggestions?

From my understanding, isn't it caused from a build up of dihydrtestosterone. Isn't Rogaine shampoo supposed to release that? Anyone try something as simple as switching to Rogaine shampoo??

Well, changed to a new insurance policy a few months ago. Policy says it does not cover infertility (none of mine ever have). However, they consider testosterone to be an infertility issue (as opposed to a hormonal issue). So, I am now stuck with an $850 doctor office visit. Needless to say...

I go in for testing again in a couple months. I am debating using on of the testing services on here. Side note, I have mentioned HCG to my Urologist before. He has never used it and is not overly comfortable prescribing it. From my understanding, the primary purpose was to prevent...

Well, considering I have permanent pituitary damage, I am fairly sure I will be on this for the rest of my life... Just got back from the Urologist. My lab results this time are: Testosterone 9.17 (ng/ml) Estradiol 14.6 (pg/ml) He indicated that my numbers were "perfect" though he would like...

What do you mean ranges? The lab reports indicate "normal" for Testosterone is 1.8-10.03 ng/ml and Estradiol is 12.9-37.4 pg/ml. My urologist is insistent that my levels are just fine across the board. As far as increasing estradiol levels, that makes me nervous. Early in this whole process...

I have been undergoing TRT for about 3 years now, as the result of pituitary dysfunction (not properly releasing LH) most likely the result of surgery for a prolonged throat issue. Very long story short (if anyone needs the long story I am happy to post it), my current urologist is treating me...
