I need your opinion on my recent lab results.

3rd lab test
Total F/W bound serum - 220 (morning)
Test free/weekly - 23.4%
Test F/W bound - 51.4
LH - 2.7
FSH - 2.9
Prolactin - 10.4
TSH - 2.79

What's up gpr? This thread is a year and half old.. I would start my own thread if you want more response.. But, You definitely have low testosterone.. Very low.. Include the ranges for LH and FSH and someone could tell you if it's primary or secondary..

So I got my test results last month and here they are:

Total and (Range)

Serum Test = 390 ng/dl (280-800)
Test % Free+Weakly bound= 23.8 (9 - 46)
Test F/W bound = 92.8 ng/dl (40-250)
LH = 2.9 mIU/mL (1.7-8.6)
Prolactin = 6.6 ng/mL (4 - 15.2)
FSH Serum = 3.9 mIU/mL (1.5 - 12.4)
PTH, intact = 34 pg/mL (15-65)

Vit D = 27.6 ng/mL (32 - 100)

Obviously she doesn't want to put me on TRT. I still get the androgel from my doc. I want to do one cycle (2 pump fulls) and then come off it. What would I take in order to keep my levels where they are once I stop? Clomid? Or something else? Would I have to do another cycle in a couple of months, or could I wait 6 months?

Would I be better off doing a true cycle on gear?

Does vit D have anything to do with anything? She says it's low and has put me on 50,000 IU once a week for 6 weeks then 3000 IU a week per day after that and then a follow up in June.

WTF is wrong with me if it's not my test? I know it's still a little low for my age (33) but then if it's not that then what?

Bro you will get better results from doing low dose clomid (25mg EOD or less) than you will from that little bit of Androgel. That little bit of gel will only replace your 390 level not raise it. Do yourself a favor take some clomid and see where it takes your levels if they are in the 500's + then quit fucking with shit. Natural is always best. Im getting ready to come off of 2yrs of testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) because its been nothing but a constant battle.
