Low lh??

[gmann]

What does it mean if lh is very low??

 

[Frustrated1]

Nothing by itself. Are you on Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)? What are you taking? What are your other numbers?

 

[gmann]

yes im curerently on hrt, what numbers on the test can I list that will pertain to low lh?

 

[cashout]

If you are introducing exogenous testerosterone into your system, both your LH and FSH will be low as a result of inhibition of the pituitary.

There is no reason to be concerned about that given you are on HRT.

 

[Frustrated1]

What cashout said.

Cashout is right. Introducing exogenious test to your body will have your LH very low. But that being said..... I have been feeling very brain foggy recently and been having a very low libido. When I got my blood work done my test and estro were in the right range but my Lh was at .1... After talking to Steve who is covering for Chip at Maximus HRT, we came to the conclusion that I am feeling like that because my LH was too low. Per my conversation with Steve, Your LH is going to be very low with testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) but it still needs to be atleast at .2 (.3 is ideal) for you to feel good and have great libido.

To cure my problem I am gonna try 1000iu of Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) e5d for 3 weeks and then get tested again to see if my LH can get up to the .3 range. Even your LH being at .2 would be decent but you dont want anything less than that.

thanks jkb, Im feeling the same a few months back had morning wood and libido was excellent, now minimal morning wood and just an ok drive. my lh is at 0.6, I think thats the reason morning wood is gone

good info JKB- Now you need to watch your estrogen if you bump up your hcg.

 

[gmann]

What on your bloodwork shows your estrogen levels?

It is not likely that you will see a sustained increase in your LH on your blood work by increasing your HCG.

Remember Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) only mimics the action of LH in the testis. The pituitary is responsible for the release of LH (and FSH) into the blood. Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) won't do anything to que the pituitary to produce LH. That loop will still be closed do to the the presents of exogenous test in the system.

You may, however, feel better from the stimulation of the testis.

Thanks for the clarification Cashout. I did my first shot 1000iu of Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) today in morning. I must say I havent seen a increase on libido and obviously I dont expect to right on the first day. The good thing I did notice today was that my brain fog was compeletely gone by afternoon. And my concentration at work was awesome. Steve at Maximus was right. For those of you Maximus Bros who have not had the chance to talk to Steve, HE IS A FIRST CLASS DUDE!!

Yea thats the hard part is knowing how much Aromatase inhibitor (AI) to take when you increase your Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) dosage. I was doing .5mg of Anastrozole e5d with 500iu of Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) e5d. Now that I bumped my Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) to 1000iu e5d for 3 weeks. I have bumped my Aromatase inhibitor (AI) to .5 twice a week. Hope fully that will be enough. I will get some bloodwork done from privatemdlabs.com this week and see if my estro is good.
I tend to crash my estrogen pretty easily. Anastrozole is really strong for me. I wonder if the there is a less potent Aromatase inhibitor (AI) than Anastrozole. Any Ideas??
