19 and endo wants to put me on TRT

[Mr.Port]

that is a lot to lose. I would stick to diet that keep you at same lbs or add lbs for 2-3 months then go for blood test.

I see in my old labs my
LH was a 1.7
My test was a 270 ng/dl
TSH was 1.010
FSH 3.0

These were prior to any shot, and jimstigator, I sleep enough and don't drink at all

Your low LH and FSH point to a diagnosis of secondary hypogonadism. Your pituitary gland isn't producing enough of the hormone responsible for producing adequate levels of testosterone. Did you have your prolactin measured on this set of labs by chance?

I have read that extreme dieting can lead to a decrease in LH and FSH, although I'm not well versed on that as a potential cause. Hopefully somebody else can offer some insight there.

Many of the guys here who had low LH/FSH were able to determine that theirs was caused by a pituitary adenoma, so a prolactin value would be good to know. An MRI of the pituitary gland is the logical next step in cases of elevated prolactin.

Give an HPTA restart a try. If it doesn't work, then go on TRT.

What do you eat? Write out a standard day. If you start the day with egg whites - just stop there and I'll understand.

Bodies need fat. You have been dropping weight for a long time. If that was via a low-fat diet, that might be the issue. I had a friend who was doing low fat for ages and his T was rock bottom. He reversed and started eating more paleo style - whole, nutrient dense foods, and his numbers turned around quickly.

Just a thought... I am on TRT at 31 so its not like I have the golden ticket answer...

Prolactin was 7.2

I want to try this but don't know where to begin or what to use. Should I go through a doctor or try this by myself? If I can get the stuff without a script. And Jim, I've been eating more for months without improvement I've been getting more than enough fats. The hardest part is I literally don't get hungry anymore. Could this be from low lh or low t? I mean I just don't feel the sensation of hunger anymore but still force myself to eat. Also, I cannot workout because I feel this weakness come on anytime I do anything physical. I guess I need to start with a restart but what should it consist and doses etc.

You should have a doctor treat you. I don't think you know enough to be able to self-medicate. Get help.

See posts #18 and #19 for an understanding of the medications commonly used in a restart.

How should I go about doing a restart? Should I do it through a doctor? What does a normal restart consist of?

How do I get ahold of imt, and would insurance cover through them?

 

[Jimstigator]

Likely no - insurance will not cover it.
