Initial results on blood test when I went to the T dr. Had been talked about in here or else I'd jump into health problems. Just seeing if anyone see's anything crazy or noteworthy. August is my next appointment, be interesting to see what enclomiphene did in 2-3 months, unless it's massive result still going to I think switch to injecting. I think I'm less sleepy with less sleep than normal. Maybe not as sore for as much housework as I've done this week. But nothing yet that's outside the range of placebo effect.

Taking a little boron and DHEA just based off my probably bullshit reading around online.

Your T is relatively low but your estradiol is high? Not trying to be an asshole but are you significantly overweight? Thats usually how guys end up with high estradiol, but if you are a high-aromatizer of testosterone then if/when you went on TRT your estradiol would be through the roof which isn't fun.

Also I'd probably start taking a vitamin D supplement, yours isn't low but 80-100 is better for that.

Your TSH is also a bit elevated; you might have primary hypothyroid. When the TSH is elevated but the free T4/T3 is relatively low, it means the thyroid isn't doing it's job very well. This can all be part of the same metabolic syndrome thats causing your elevated glucose, elevated estradiol and relatively low free T4.

Gymbro advice would be TRT/reta which would address your metabolic syndrome and hormones, and then weight training.

If you get on TRT your estradiol will be through the roof then, be prepared. You'll probably need an aromatase inhibitor at some point. If you get on, get labs again with estradiol sensitive about 8-10 weeks after you start so you can see where your e2 is settling out.

I honestly wouldn't count on a GP being much help on this sort of thing, doctors are good at keeping you alive, they are not good at quality of life things.

Well anything to address it I suspect might need prescriptions, so if the T doc doesn't really want to look into them, not sure who I should seek. An actual endocrinologist etc?

All the gymbro stuff you can get online grey market/underground. Go to your dr first but most guys don't have good luck with that route.
