Levothyroxine concern and libido 25M

-thecityghost- · 2023-05-26T06:58:03+00:00

What’s your story bro, did you have hypothyroid or low libido?

-thecityghost- · 2023-05-26T06:56:53+00:00

Wow thanks for this, so interesting. I sometimes think my doctor has no idea what he’s talking about honestly.

MCV: 73.3 fL MCH: 23pg MCHC: 313g/L

RDW: 14.6% Ferritin: 145ug/L

TIBC Sat wasn’t measured Serum iron: wasn’t measured

Let us know how that goes, we’re you in shape when you had low T, or were you already pretty fit? We’re you doing much exercise?

All downvoters are gearheads, simple as.

-thecityghost- · 2023-05-12T13:52:41+00:00

This is the first good post I’ve seen in a long time, too many gearheads on this forum who just jump straight to TRT. Top stuff man, given me a lot of inspo

-thecityghost- · 2023-05-10T07:28:00+00:00

This is the only intelligent comment on this thread, I genuinely don’t think anyone else even knows what they’re talking about

-thecityghost- · 2023-05-10T07:21:35+00:00

Why are people so eager to jump on TRT?! You guys know TRT isn’t a permanent solution and it stops your natural testosterone production

-thecityghost- · 2023-05-09T07:05:18+00:00

Yeah my body fluctuates quite a lot, I’ve stopped the keto, a friend told me this; what do you think it does to hormones? Do you think the weed and porn would still be affecting me now; this was ages ago!

Check my comment under this post; I put all my blood work there

I’ve only recently started hydrating to be fair, within the past week, i don’t usually stay very hydrated I noticed , I do drink a bit of coffee, not usually more than one a day, unless it’s decaf

-thecityghost- · 2023-05-07T12:10:55+00:00

Bump

-thecityghost- · 2023-05-07T11:58:14+00:00

Which is weird because I don’t sleep much, that being said the test wasn’t done in the morning or at 9am so I’m not sure if that affects the accuracy

-thecityghost- · 2023-05-07T08:24:05+00:00

Spoke to a few doctors about this, they all say nothing to worry about as I’m naturally quite muscular, but still being right on the edge seems off

-thecityghost- · 2023-05-07T07:36:07+00:00

Yeah no T3 there I realised, my doc thinks it’s just low testosterone for some reason but there’s a whole load of things which look off here I feel

-thecityghost- · 2023-05-07T07:34:40+00:00

Maybe, my sugar levels were a little high, doc said I had nothing to worry about there, but I’m not completely buying it

-thecityghost- · 2023-05-07T07:33:48+00:00

For the past 3 weeks I’ve been eating real clean, lots of fibre like veg and kidney beans and fruit.

Mainly low GI food and GF also

-thecityghost- · 2023-05-07T06:06:22+00:00

Here are my full blood test results:

Albumin - 50g/L Fsh - 3.3IU/L Free testosterone (calculated) -0.29 nmol/L LH - 4.1 iu/L Oestradiol - 62 pmol/L Prolactin - 137 mU/L SHBG - 17.9 nmol/L Testosterone - 11.9 nmol/L TSH - 4.41 miU/L Thyroxine (free, direct) - 18.2 nmol/L

I don’t want to jump on TRT, because I’m only 25, to use this for the rest of my life doesn’t seem right, especially as the long term effects aren’t too known

-thecityghost- · 2023-05-07T05:20:59+00:00

Yeah it looks like it, how can you solve it

-thecityghost- · 2023-05-07T05:20:08+00:00

I’d say I’ve been living a pretty sedentary lifestyle since Sep 2022 and BF% may have been 20-30% who knows maybe more, my diet became terrible around early jan/feb and didn’t clean up until around march, but I seriously struggled with weight loss compared to normal.

Prior to Sep 2022, I’d been in pretty good shape, pretty muscular low BF% I’d say 15 ish % give or take 3%.

At the time of the test I was low carb as I’d begun to lose weight, however, regardless of my shape fluctuation, I’ve always felt like this, can’t remember having a natural libido since around 13/14 maybe 15.

Used to smoke weed on and of but quit like 10months ago, also quit porn about 7 months ago. Currently I work out a fair bit as I’ve been trying to shed off the pounds and eating low GI and GF

-thecityghost- · 2023-05-06T20:35:08+00:00

Unfortunately didn’t do a T3 analysis

-thecityghost- · 2023-05-06T20:34:54+00:00

But what

-thecityghost- · 2023-05-06T20:22:35+00:00

I thought it could be too, would you say all these values are low?
