GH labs are stupid as released in pulses with very short half life. IGF-1 is best indicator of GH status.

You should have had LH and FSH tested before TRT, now you do not know if the problem was testes or pituitary.

TSH should be closer to 1.0
T4 was a little below midrange
T3 was good
But you really are better with fT3, fT4 labs

Your thyroid problem could be iodine deficiency.

Please check current thyroid function by checking oral body temperatures as per the thyroid basics sticky. Body temperatures can be a good guide to your thyroid medication doses.

Is stress a major factor in your life?

Were you fasting for that lab work?

What is fasting glucose or A1C?

Total cholesterol is very low. Not good. Cholesterol needed for many things and is basis of all steroid hormone, cortisol and Vit-D3.

Are you taking Vit-D3? Suggest 5,000iu per day, 25,000iu for first five days.
