Testosterone Okay, Other Values Puzzling: Opinions, Please

...
If testosterone production remains the same as SHBG is increasing, you can't have the Free T unchanged.
You can and you do. The argument is simple: At steady state testosterone production is balanced by testosterone metabolism. Testosterone metabolism is proportional to free testosterone. Therefore free testosterone is proportional to testosterone production. Therefore unchanging production implies unchanging free testosterone—independent of SHBG. We've been discussing this issue for some years now; you've had ample opportunity to form coherent objections.
 
Update: PCP and Men's Health specialist in agreement that TRT is not indicated. Neither could offer an explanation for the elevated FSH & LH levels. It seems the next stop is an endocrinologist.

Most likely subclinical hypogonadism as article above discusses and @Cataceous pointed out. Will be interested to see what your Endo says. The ones I have discussed with would not treat until TT/fT drop further. Check out the info provided above so you can speak with your Endo in a reasonable educated fashion.

Before I started TRT, I did read four books and seen a number of clinics and endocrinologist. it's good to educate yourself and know what you're getting into.
