One testicle, 21 yr old blood work, just started TRT.

[Pr1meT1me]

So... I'm a 21 yr old male, I had some blood work done a few weeks ago and just like I suspected, I testosterone issues and I'm probably infertile. Here's some of my report:

Testosterone, Total, LC/MS/S: 550ng/dL (250-1100 ng/dL)

FSH: 30.0 H (1.6-8.0 mIU/mL)
LH: 19.2 H (1.5-9.3 mIU/mL)

I was prescribed testosterone cypiate injections, .2mL every three days. As well as DHEA supplements. I will start HCG in two months.

Anyone have any suggestions, tips, etc?

I have needle phobia and had the worst possible time getting my first injection, the second one is tomorrow. I originally started with 22g needles but I'll be picking up 25g today. I use an 18g to pull the oil into the syringe first.

Edit: I had undescended testicles when I was born, they performed surgery to fix the issue but lost one testicle along the way and I'm guessing the one they did save got damaged somehow.

Dude, 550 ng/dL is NOT low test. Your 1 ball is outperforming my 2! It's interesting that your FSH and LH numbers are so high, but I don't know what to make of that so I'm interested in hearing what someone more knowledgeable than myself has to say.

Aside from only having 1 testicle, what symptoms made you think that you had low test?

Well I had previously done an Hdrol cycle with Tamoxifen for my PCT, not sure if that altered the results a bit.
The LH and FSH levels usually indicate infertility.

I have all the symptoms. Even other people would tell me, my friend who had low test (he's 41) was the one that made me get checked.

From depression, to super low libido and no interest in chasing pussy to ED when I finally got some. I also have some belly fat that I've never been able to get rid of, despite me being in shape. My erections were horrible, would not get fully hard and would lose my erection right away. Tried sex pills and male enhances and they didn't even work. I have a hard time concentrating or even remembering how much weight I lifted the previous day, and my friends always call me out on this. Ive been lifting for 3 years and I don't seem to gain any mass compared to my workout partner.

your levels are not low. your free test wasnt tested? i bet that was low. your LH and FSH are really high....

i dont understand why you think your infertile.... your levels are way above normal.

i have low test due to a motorcycle accident and i basically have one functioning testicle and your one out does mine by almost double.

was there anything else tested? i feel like your jumping the gun on this. im sure there are other ways of treating you seeing that your levels are normal / above normal.

why wasnt free T tested? did they check e2? prolactin?

High levels on FSH and LH means that my testicles are failing. At least that's what every document I found through google says, as well as my doc.

Free test 63.8 pg/ml
Prolactin 11.2 mg/ml

what measurement is that in for free test? pg/ml? im guessing the prolactin is ng/ml?

 

[Pr1meT1me]

You are correct bro. What do u think?

There's no denying I feel the symptoms. It's ruined part of my life and relationships.

im not doubting the way you feel but i dont think its from low test. what was your estradiol at?

btw your free test is way above normal levels. i just checked what mine was from my bloodwork (before trt) and it was 5.7, yours is 63.8. your prolactin is right in the middle of normal range.

according to labcorp the normal range for free test is 9.3 - 26.5 pg/ml. your more than double the top end.

Well I had previously done an Hdrol cycle with Tamoxifen for my post cycle therapy (pct), not sure if that altered the results a bit.

How long after finishing post cycle therapy (pct) did you have your blood work done?

 

[Pr1meT1me]

Only like 2 weeks, which I know is bad.

yeah you need to wait longer. id get those tests done again to get accurate numbers. they do seem high tho even after 2 weeks. 2 weeks off clomid made my numbers higher but not that much.
