That cannot be an option. If she insists, you’ll be forced to move on.
Thanks guys. I’ve sent an message to a place that deals with trt/ed. Going to see what they say.
Side note, anyone have issues with high uric acid levels? Was told that will lead to gout.
Shes just stupid and its really sad. your level is so low and she wants to drop it. stupid. Leave a bad review on there maps listing on google when you leave. other men should be told of the crappy medical knowledge they possess.
No Reverse T3, SHBG or Free T has been checked. Reverse T3 could help explain higher TSH. Interesting how 440 is considered normal and yet the studies show cardiovascular risk right at 440, this just hints at how much doctors don’t really know what normal testosterone really is, the problem is what’s normal for you isn’t normal for someone else.
You need to find out how much of the 440 is bioavailable, sad your doctor is unconcerned of the amount of free hormone circulating in the blood.
You can’t use the Roche ECLIA methodology for estrogen testing do to your high level C-reactive protein levels, Roche ECLIA methodology testing will pick up the C-reactive protein as estrogen. You would need the Liquid Chromatography–Mass Spectrometry which will not pick up on the C-reactive protein falsely elevated estrogen.

Any idea why CRP is elevated? I would look into that.
The CRP should be investigated, IMO. Your D is fine, whatever you are dosing is not hurting you, and it will not cause high calcium. Calcium is controlled by PTH (which is not commonly measured, it is produced by the parathyroid glands) and to a lesser extent calcitonin (your thyroid). PTH converts D from the inactive form (the one they measured in your blood tests) to the active form D 1,25. They measure the inactive D normally, just like they usually only measure calcium and not ionized calcium. Calcium levels are age dependent like testosterone. Yours is okay. It should be very consistent from test to test, and an adult male over 30 should never have a reading over 10.0.
Hello just wanted to post an update. Finally got my pcp to allow me to self inject. She gives me all the needed supplies and my test cyp is $8 a month for 100mg a week. Still trying to get my weight down while trying to put on some muscle. As of today I’m down 44lbs since I started. Hoping for 15ish more. Still trying to get a diet dialed in. Waiting to get my next bloodwork done since my last time due anytime after the 20th of this month. My pcp also put me on cialis in hopes to help in the ed department. Insurance stinks with that only 6 pills every 25 days as she wanted me to try 5mg a day. So at first I only got 6 - 5mg for the month but this month I got 20mg which I split into 1/4. I’m on my third day of that. I’m waking up late night (2-3am) with wood but not when I’d like them. Any advise on this would be helpful. Im guessing try take them earlier in the day.
Newest results from this past week. Still only on 100mg IM once a week.
