My natural testosterone levels dropped. Why?

[SicVic]

Time to go see a doc man. With those LH/FSH values, it's looking like you have a case of primary hypogonadism (in my non-doctor opinion) which can be caused by anything ranging from opiates to a varicocele. Just be sure to avoid mentioning weight training/muscles/fat loss/body building/exercise as docs get all twitchy when they think you're there for something other than treatment.

Just don't panic, it could be something simple and reversible. Either way, you'll want to take care of this before you cycle in my opinion. Otherwise, you'll have to wait for everything to clear and possibly make things worse for yourself.

You think that would be me?

They might just prescrib him a workout. He should tell him he works out a little bit LOL, because the doctor will be like oh its probably because you don't get enough excercise, go bust some CT Fletcher style workouts and come see me in a month or 2.

Wouldn't it be best to let the doctor know everything that's going on?

If you're going to tell the doctor, you may want to consider saying something like this. And before anybody accuses me of stealing this, I copied it off an old post from StoneCold.

"I understand that parts of our conversation are recorded by you into my medical record. I also understand that if any tests are performed that in most cases, the results are placed in the record as well. My issue is this - There are times that I would like to discuss things with you that I DO NOT want to be in my record. Now, with all due respect to you and your duties, I was wondering:

If I have a conversation with you, and I express that I do NOT want that conversation to be recorded or referenced in ANY manner in my record, can you honor that?

Also,

If any type of medical tests are performed on me, that may pertain to information that I do not wish to be entered into my records, is it also possible to NOT place those test results in my record? Meaning, is there a way to have tests performed anonymously so that if I have a "private" issue, and that requires that a test be performed, that we can do the test and see the results without them going into my record?"

Thanks halfwit, what kind of a doctor would you recommend because I was just planning on going to a small family doctor right here by my house. Wouldn't it be best to let the doctor know everything that's going on?

Your family doc is a great place to start. I would NOT mention previous AAS use as not only may that not be the cause here, but they look at you in a totally different light after that. Besides, who wants that pesky doctor's notes finding their way to our insurance company, where premiums can be raised/policies cancelled/et cetera.

You think that would be me?

They might just prescrib him a workout. He should tell him he works out a little bit LOL, because the doctor will be like oh its probably because you don't get enough excercise, go bust some CT Fletcher style workouts and come see me in a month or 2.

Hah. I thought your LH/FSH were low, weren't they Vic? If that's the case - you're probably secondary by pituitary. Again, I'm not a doctor - but the general rule of thumb is:

Low LH/FSH: Secondary Hypogonadism.
High-Average LH/FSH: Primary Hypogonadism.

The difference between the two is that secondary might be treatable with clomid therapy/restarts. Primary means your testes gave up the good fight and are going to need some serious work to get up and running again (if possible). Between CT Fletcher and Kali Muscle, I think all we need is some proper motivation and Ramen.
