Ok 82ndab, this is an example of how to chart your levels so you can keep track of fluctuations as new blood numbers come in. You can always go to the L-corp website for more detailed info on just exactly each reading represents. Your first test that had include all the results I am guessing was ordered through Doc while your second test you claimed to have elected to get on your own. When Doc orders a test he includes a complete hormone panel along with a lipid panel, that’s why you must fast for readings like cholesterol. When you go through third party, or independent lab, the just furnish you with the basic hormone panel results and we usually order the female panel due to its estrogen results. There is more advanced hormone panel test, which would include prolactin levels, but it is significantly more $$.
-If your Testosterone is up that’s good but is it within range? Being on trt right now that’s your main concern.
-Low LH and FSH is a sign that your pituitary gland, in the brain, is not sending a signal to tell your testicles to make Testosterone. This is usually attributed to the simple fact that you have entered the world of TRT and are now supplementing your own Test production. TRT affects many other hormonal behaviors down the line. Should you be concerned? Not really since it what’s expected but run it by our Doc for sure and keep logging All levels. TRT is a delicate balance and most fail to understand why your cruise numbers are so important.
-Prolactin is within range and fine.
- Estrogen is within range and fine.
