I’m sorry, man. I should’ve clarified. I meant if I were to go on to buy testosterone without the appropriate medical paperwork and just use it on my own instead of going through him as a medium to receive the TRT. I doubt he wouldn’t allow me to self-administer assuming he actually provided me with the TRT, that doesn’t seem like him.
He said that if I were to purchase it through a UGL, then he would be happy to monitor me.
In any case I suppose if the Endo doesn’t find anything I should push forward with TRT. Seems the best course of action as far as I understand.
Do you guys think I should bring up the idea of an HPTA restart protocol with my doctor when I see him tomorrow? Due to the low FSH/LH
EDIT: Wanted to give this a bump as my appointment is tomorrow afternoon
Updated bloodwork has come in:
TSH - 3.94 mIU/L Ref: 0.35 - 5 (before I started supplementing iodine)
Free T3 - 6.5 pmol/L Ref: 3.4 - 5.9
SHBG - 30 nmol/L Ref: 12 - 60
Testosterone - 10.6 nmol/L Ref: 7.6 - 31.4 (306 ng/dl)
Free Testosterone - 221 pmol/L Ref: 196 - 636
25 Hydroxy Vitamin D - 57 nmol/L Ref: 76 - 250 nmol/L (seems low)
What do you guys think?
I should mention that since I started supplementing iodine, my temperature has gone back to normal. Roughly 98.5 consistently.
edit: bump
edit: figured I’d do one more bump, this would be the last one as I’m thinking people lost interest in this thread
