Also , I would strongly recommend Nelson Vergel`s book , which in my opinion every person with Low T problems should read. You can find it here : http://www.amazon.com/Testosterone-Guide--Second-Nelson-Vergel/dp/0966223128/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1422030697&sr=8-1&keywords=nelson+vergel

'' However, what I hear "on the streets" is that men who are low SHBG or just high converters to estrogen tend to do better with 3X weekly subQ injections. I believe the reason for this is that with smaller doses of testosterone cypionate more often, you get a smoother ride with lower estradiol...

Of course Nelson! Here in Europe it is the equivalent of aprox. $25 for this test! Good idea to do again this test after a while on HCG , after I will convince my doc to prescribe it :) Thanks again for your precious advice!!

Thank you very much Nelson! What about '' Normal morphology sperm : 2 % ( ≥ 4 ) '' and '' Viable sperm : 21 % ( ≥ 58 ) '' ? Do you think it is the same thing ( result of TRT ) ?

Hello Nelson! I am on Testim gel from 3 months and 3 days , no HCG using,though I told my doctor that we should include that, and he doesn't want yet .. I keep pushing him to switch to injections as well. A test from 2 weeks ago : Estradiol : 120.2 pmol/L ( 28 -156 ) FSH : 0.321...

Chris, 3 months ago : DHEA - S : 282.7 ug/dL ( 160 - 449 ) , do you think I should test again ?

Forgot to mention that my doctor made a thyroid scan 3 months ago and said that nothing`s wrong , but I guess the blood test is more accurate!

That's why I love this forum! Proper answer.. I received the ACTH result : 49.48 pg/mL ( 7.2 - 63.3 ) pg/mL So, what do you think Chris , should I forget about the adrenals and move on with the labs wich you have suggested to me ? TSH,Free T4,Free T3,Reverse T3, TPOab and TgAb on the...

Thank you Chris ,that makes sense! My concern is that the root of my hormones imbalance may be the adrenal glands! I have done 3 months ago a test for TSH : 1.05 UI/ml (0.27 - 4.2) . I know I should do the whole thyroid panel test, I will go step by step. Once again , thank you!!

I understand Nelson, salivary test is much better than blood test , I may go for that one as well! Thank you

Your opinion on this one please : ''What effect does testosterone (therapy) have on cortisol? Does it raise or lower cortisol levels? Unfortunately, the answer to that question is not as easy to find as we might like. There is a study that looked at giving men testosterone enanthate, which...
