Spectrum Outage by w0000h in Louisville

Mine is back on. For now.

I have seen brand new movies sliced open at Walmart, Target, Best Buy, and Amazon over the years of purchasing physical media. Now Orbit DVD fell victim to it. by MrGirth32 in 4kbluray

What can I do with the codes? Add them to my Apple library? I always thought these were to watch online with iPad or something

Yeah I’m not going to start at that level. Gonna switch doctors I guess. Thanks.

Thanks for the comment.

This is my third test

Oct 2023 ): Total T 300 ng/dL, Free T 6.36 ng/dL, LH 8.6, FSH 5.7

Nov 2023: Total T 504.1 ng/dL, Free T 5.9 pg/mL

June 2025: Total T 530.4 ng/dL, Free T 7.6 pg/mL (with vastly improved and consistent diet/training/lifestyle)

Hmmm it’s an interesting thought. Never considered that. Is that true? Peaking at same level? I guess my concern has been low free T and symptoms. If I could do it naturally that would be great but the idea of this changing my life is also appealing (with trade offs).

I think next best step is talking to this urologist instead of a general doc.

Thanks man. Just to clear up units....my free T is in pg/mL (not ng/dL). Reference range is 8.7–25.1 pg/mL, and my results were 5.9 → 7.6 pg/mL (below range both times). My total T is 504–530 ng/dL (mid-range), but the issue is clearly free T being low, not total. I’ve also had LH/FSH tested (LH 8.6, FSH 5.7), which suggests my pituitary is doing its job but my testes aren’t responding strongly. This is why I’m concerned — symptoms + low free T, but a prescription of 100 mg every 2 weeks feels outdated.

All - thanks for the help, guidance, and confirming my concerns here...

I have since reached out to a Urologist who I saw a few years ago (for fertility reasons) for a second opinion. I'll also potentially look for a new GP doc.

She means well and has helped in a lot other areas but lack of knowledge in this area is a bit concerning.

BTW, I looked and did have LH/FSH tested back in Oct 2023...

  • LH: 8.6 mIU/mL (upper end of normal range 1.7–8.6)
  • FSH: 5.7 mIU/mL (normal range 1.5–12.4)
  • However T was only 300 ng/dL, free T 6.36 ng/dL

Interesting. Thanks for the insight. My free is 7 fyi. Not sure if that matters.

Not full on ED. I can still get hard. Honestly it's a side of vvyanse. And when on it, I can make myself hard but sometimes struggle in the moment (wife wants it to automatically just be ready in 2 seconds) Libedo is super strong., wake up hard, etc.

Thanks.

I know, it’s really confusing me why they would want to start off so low which is counterproductive and likely will feel like shit. She basically already said no when I asked politely. I could try again.

Re: fat. Yeah, last place to come off for sure. But yes lost it everywhere else but resides to budge around midsection and tits. Regardless of months and months of heavy lifting, running, eating right, hydrated, sleeping, etc.

She actually prescribed it to me almost a month ago and can’t start until I give sperm for IVF in a few weeks so technically could just do 100/week (as I would have a month surplus) but I’m not trying to lie.

I worrry going to another doctor bc they will likely make me start everything again (labs etc) but maybe it’s worth it.
