Looks promising! But TSH=2.33 suggests that thyroid is working hard, but it getting the job mostly done. Keep using iodized salt. Consider a multi-vit that contains iodine+selenium, selenium is very important for thyroid function.

Thanks for the response- I started trt a week ago 200mg of cyp weekly- i know everyone will say its too soon or its plecebo effect but, I noticed a difference in about 3 days. I have a better attitude, I am much less irritable also most of my soreness is gone. My shoulder had what felt like tendonitis in itā¦ gone. For the last few years my neck/traps always hurt especially at the end range of motion, it is almost gone. I used to have to drink beer after work to unwind from daily stress, now i dont really notice the stress or anxiety. I feel better everyday, Iāve worked out hard the last 4 days in a row- I feel great. I plan on getting my labs re done at around 6 weeks, to check my numbers. So far I am very satisfied.
Do you have an AI on hand and hCG?

Not right now-
AI- ill acquire some if I present syptoms of high e2, or based on labs. I may get some to have just incase.
HcG- Iām done having children, and I donāt care if they shrinkā¦ is it necessary?
Some get dull 24x7 ache in their testes and hCG fixes that. Some wives/GFs do not want to loose the boys.

Keep an eye on e2. Your e2 was low when your T was ālowishā and may rise over time. Even with high T, youāll feel like your T is low again with high e2.
Iām done having kids too, but currently take hCG (albeit not as much as others) just to keep my testes from completely atrophying. Our testes are responsible for more than just sperm and T production.
Some menās testes atrophy to the point where theyāre completely non-functional masses of tissue with no function and more than likely could never be resurrected. Some of these men also report aching associated with their testicular atrophy, which doesnāt sound pleasant to me.
Also, if thereās ever the case that you need to come off of TRT and you let your testes completely diminish, there may be no getting them āback into the gameā so to speak.

Lolā¦ where are these women???
Iāll see about picking some up. HcG that is
Iāll monitor my e2- I plan on letting things stabilize and then pull my labs, make adjustmenās based on the data. I donāt want achy nuts, so Iāll pick up some hcg, I just need to find it.
I can get hcg no sweat- what is a low dose regiment?
250 ius of hcg injected every other day.
