So I’ve recently done some testing for my wife and I to have a baby, and I was hoping you could help me confirm my understanding of these numbers
General Information:
37 y/o
6’1"
250 lbs
strong-very strong build
waist size 36
Hair: Full head of hair, full beard, chest hair, little bit of back hair, normal leg hair, etc
Training: 2-4 x week, cardio or lifting
Diet: 3 meals a day, meat and veggies, reasonable carbs, no junk food or soda’s

1st lab - Labcorp:
LH - 3.6
range 1.7- 11.2 miU/ml
FSH - 20.7
range 1.0 - 11.0 miU/ml
Prolactin - 9.6
range 3.3 - 20.8 mg/ml
TSH 1.14
range 0.5 - 2.5 iIU/ml
Total Testosterone - 374
range - none given
2nd lab - University Hospital, no ranges given
FSH - 14 miU/ml, told me it should be under 10
LH - 3 miU/ml
Estradiol - 12.1 pg/ml
Testosterone - 305 ng/dl
Free Testosterone - L 39.9 pg/ml
I went to see a Urologist, and she told me the obvious. High FSH, and low testosterone. There was no reasonable cause for this so my assumption was primary hypogonadism, but they never really diagnosed anything, probably because the normal course would be TRT. However, that is not an option since it would ruin my chances at fertility. So, I guess my questions are, after all of the fertility stuff is said and done am I going to need TRT for the rest of my life? Does anyone have any experience with low normal LH and high FSH?
Also, no prior steroid use. I don’t have a recent metabolic panel, and they never gave me reference ranges.
Thank you,
