LOW FSH LEVELS

[GreekTank]

Bros, just wanted to post some blood work results I recieved this week.

Here we go!

TOTAL TESTOSTERONE: 31.1 nmol/L (Lab range: 9-29 nmol/L)
FREE TESTOSTERONE: 66.7 pmol/L (Lab range: 31-94 pmol/L)
LH: 3 i.u. (Lab range: 2-8 i.u.)
FSH: 1 i.u. (Lab range: 2-8 i.u.)

As you guys could see I have low FSH, but my total testosterone is over the range. I've been off gear for 5 months. Last cycle which was my first was Test for 10 weeks! threw in some deca too in the later half of the cycle. Comments?

No reply's? wow. Problem is too many newbies clogging up this board that don't know shit!

FSH is responsible for sperm production, while LH is responsible for production of testosterone. Therefore, it's not surprising that your test levels are normal while your FSH levels are somewhat low. You've only been off for 5 months, so I would't worry about hitting the clomid again just yet....give it a little more time and get re-tested. Unless you're working on having a baby with the missus, it's not that pressing a matter. Your test levels are normal, so you should be feeling good and keeping your gains.

Did you try searching google first?

Things I have read say that high stress and/or less than 8 hours of sleep can lower it.

I also read that Co Q10 can help raise it.

From WebMD

Some medications, such as cimetidine, clomiphene, digitalis, and levodopa, can increase FSH levels. Tell your health professional all the medications you are taking, including herbs and natural substances.

I think you will be fine Greek as long as you are not trying to reproduce at the moment. My wife wants another kid, so looks like I will be hitting the clomid to get me in shape. Hey House how much clomid would I need to take to get my shit in line? Should I run a course like pct or would something more specific be needed? Im out of town on dial up ( sucks) until wed of this week, I have some research at home on my pc regarding this, but I am here and.. I dont want to wait till I get home. I thought you may know, seems like it was a couple of month program of clomid ed at what amount I have'nt the fogiest. The reason I ask is because I jsut finished a cycle 1.5 months ago, and it wont be May until I have my regular bloodwork again, and with this broke collar bone, I anit got nothing better to do than give the ole lady what she wants lol that sounds terrible.. I dont care :D

Does low FSH also mean you have a slight decrease in libido, and thus place burden on your system if you are sexually active frequently?

[Shibby]

Well again just from what I have read, my interpretation is that hormone activity in the brain lowers the sperm production, and I would think that would give a lower sex drive. Seeing that everything about our bodies goes back to animal insticts and sex is for mateing. Low sperm production = less need to reproduce.

not sure bro -- best bet is to hook up with a urologist -- get everything checked out --

find out what your levels are and go from there --

greektank , my sex drive before i went back on was in the toilet bro --had no desire whatsoever

How are you now bro? is it always low even if you have a long off period? I think the higher the FSH level the more urge you have to get laid. Hey at least I still have my TEST levels! Doctor told me to not even worry about the FSH stuff, It will come back on it's own he said. He's anti AAS though.
