disappointing bloodwork do u know urs lol any comments on mine

[broncos30185]

This I hope serves as a reminder to ppl, not just newbies but those of us that have more know how also.... Get your bloods checked. I have not " seemingly" ever had any issue with my hormone panel at any point, that was until my last test.. Whilst its not the end of the world, the reality is , for someone my age of 30 its disappointing to see my numbers in plain view. Hopefully the msg I can put forward is, get ur bloodwork done from time to time, doesn't matter if you cycle or not, get it done, for ur well being u should do it , both men and women. What prompted me to get this test done was, I have been pretty depressed of late, hard motivating myself to lift, my sleep patterns are a bit out of whack, I get tired alot, gees I catch train back from work I fall asleep on train after two mins, most notably, I have a decrease in libido big time and difficulty to achieve full erection.... So if any of these symptoms sound familiar, get ur bloods done, for ur own sake. Anyway no holding back , I will put up my complete results for all to see and hopefully it can remind at least one person to check themselves out also.....

Sodium - 140 nmol/l
Potassium - 4.3 nmol/l
Bicarb. - 27 nmol/l
Anion Gap. - 8 nmol/l
Ca ( Corr) - 2.36 nmol/l
Phosphate - 1.1 nmol/l
Urea - 4.5 nmol/l
Uric acid - 0.27 nmol/l
Creatine - 82 umol/l
Egfr - >90
Random Glucose - 5.3 mmol/l

Total Protein - 69g/l
Albumin - 43g/l
Globulin - 26g/l
Bilirubin - 7umol/l
Alk Phis - 96u/l
Ast - 22u/l
Alt - 39u/l
Gamma gt - 32 u/l
Ldh - 221 u/l

Chol - 5.0 nmol/l
Haemolysis index - 10

Gonadal hormones

Fsh - 3 iu/l
Lh - 3 iu/l
Oestradiol - 43 pmol/l ( low should be 55-165)

Sex androgens

Testosterone - 7.6nmol/l ( low should be 11 - 40)
Shbg - 12 nmol/l
Free testosterone - 229 pmol/l ( low should be 260-740)

Prolactin - 133 miu/l
Human chorionic gonadotrphin - <2

That's the test, some of those numbers are, clinically in normal range, all be it the low end, but nth normal about it at age 30.... Obviously test, free test and e2 are all quite low given my age. So that sucks a proverbal one that's for sure... This came from bloodwork done at 8am too, so no fall from base given time of day/ night either... So get ur numbers checked, if u don't know what they are, u should know, so check .

Greatest rugby league team on earth if you exclude the last few years. Not the end of the world, but would be interested to hear some opinions, especially given that I'm unable to see an endocrinologist that I have been referred to for another 7 weeks

I'd try four weeks on clomid and see if you can't snap that pituitary gland back to attention. While your LH isn't rock-bottom, I have a feeling that it could be much better.

By the time you're done with the clomid, you should be ready for the endo appointment after it has cleared your system. If you're still in the hypogonadal range, it's likely time for TRT.

You can spend time investigating other possible causes like sleep apnea, but I would see if your testes even respond to LH first. If they do, you know it's worth while trying to fix whatever is pissing off your pituitary - if not, you at least know what's next. I do recommend getting a sleep study if you snore regardless.

That was my train of thought also. I will give the clomiphene a crack, all in all, it certainly cant hurt. I think hypogonadism be it type 1 or 2 has so many variables to causes, that to find the initial cause might be impossible or at least very difficult. So yeah see if clomiphene can stimulate the testes if not than well. I may store some swimmers at the bank now while the still can float. Cheers bud
