Fixed but I couldn't bold text on my device so added "High/Low" on the ones the report specified as such.
Thanks!

I have been taking a multi vitamin that has 1000IU of D3 and after the above labs I ordered a separate 2000IU supplement. I just got it so will start taking 1-2 per day. However, I will look into the cod liver extract you suggested.
I never considered supplementing DHEA until just recently after reading through several threads here and elsewhere. I was going to buy some but decided to hold off until after all my labs and the TRT verdict. So it's definitely on my radar.
Getting anxious here about yesterday's lab results.
I am trying to be positive and have faith and give the VA a shot. At the same time though I feel like I'm just wasting time. Today I did get started on the other clinic's requirements. Just need their physical form completed and maybe some of the missing labs. Oh and the money of course. I will most likely do it after seeing the urologist on Tuesday. Unless he really surprises the crap out of me. We will find out soon enough.
Cheers, peeps!
with ur vit d as low as it is u need to really up ur dose. 2k iu isnt gonna do it. id say 5k iu is the bare minimum for you. 10k iu might even be low. tanning would help too. The D and DHEA is cheap.
if your gonna go though the process you are gonna have to be patient. ive been on trt for 5 months and still working on getting hcg. so if u want to speed the process up and get on a real trt protocol you have to get with IMT.

So we have already discussed the Low T. The other one that stands out is Vitamin D. You need to supplement more. 5-10K iu per day. 2K is usually not enough.
Right now I'm getting 1K from multi and however much from diet. The 2K I just got and will start taking two per day.
I will post the latest labs on Monday or Tuesday and update you guys afterwards.

5-10k per day is better.
Am I missing something? 1K + 2K + 2K = 5K
Total and Free Test. Pending
FSH 1.7 (1-8)
LH 4.8 (1.7-8.6)
Prolactin 10.38 (1.61-18.77)
Just grabbed these from the website.

I missed your part about 1-2 per day. It makes it easier when you just list the total dosage so we don't have to extend the math.
What do you think about Primary vs Secondary based on the latest labs?

You appear to be leaning towards secondary.
Thanks!
As my date with the urologist approaches I am getting anxious and nervous.
Will the lab results speak for themselves? At this point I don't know why I am so worried.
As I mentioned before, I am all but set with the other clinic and I know they will take good care of me.
Catch you guys later.
I'm still here at the VA. Just saw the urologist and he says my test is "just a little low." Says it should be 300-325.
He prescribed AndroGel 1.62% 20.25mg/pump 2 pumps/day and wants me to retest in August and follow up with him in Sept.
No varicoceles in the testicles, no hernia etc.
I guess his plan is to increase my T and then wean me off and get labs again etc.
I don't know how to feel about all this just yet.

I guess I shouldn't be surprised nor disappointed since I was expecting some type of nonsense from the VA.
All this points to the obvious...stop wasting time and schedule the consult with the T clinic. I have to get their physical exam form completed somewhere like CVS and I'm missing DHEA-S & Estradiol Sensitive lab tests.
I will eventually get the Test/Free Test results in and post them.
Aside from that I will update after my consult with the new Doc.

You need to be on TRT. There are serious long-term health risks and co-morbidities associated with hypogonadism.

I am banned!
For some reason unknown to me ghrps and cjc seem to destroy stomach fat might be worth a look it wont do much for your low test but could help you get rid of the unwanted stomach fat goodluck
