Well to me you look primary hypogonadal with very low T and the low E2 that goes with it.

I'm sure IMT will take good care of you.

I would say secondary given that TT is low and LH/FSH or in the low to normal range. LH/FSH are not high.

I presume you are talking to your doc at IMT about your really high TSH result. Your thyroid may be affecting your testosterone levels.

Darn, I'm still getting this confused. Thanks for the correction.

From what I've read it seems to point to secondary. But this is all fairly new and I'm trying to learn as much as i can about it. I'm still waiting to hear back from someone.... soon. The estro has me confused as hell being so low.

It is common to have low E2 when your TT is low. There isn't any T available to aromatize into E2.

There is a sticky called Basic TRT Overview in this forum that might help you.

Ahhhh.... That makes perfect sense see how I had hardly any test in my system. I read that already but maybe this go around I'll pay more attention.
