  1. Hi Misterfixit.... I have been on TRT in the UK for the last 3 years so have some experience of the highs and lows of it. I am currently using Nebido (have also done gels, which are a PITA ultimately and gave me skin problems). Fortunately, it's laid on free via the UK NHS (public health service) though I pay plenty of taxes so quid pro quo! Some of the indicators your endo should be monitoring are not on that list. For example, to calculate free testosterone (i.e. available to bind to androgen receptors), it's done using raw testosterone plus SHBG and Albumin figures iirc. Can't see either of the latter 2 on there. E2 (oestrogen), PSA (possible indicator of prostrate issues ahead) and haematocrit ratio (blood thickness), are important and can see those there. If E2 gets too high, Anastrozole can be introduced to lower it (but can cause problems). Prolactin should be on there but isn't. Your figures are all in imperial measurements so I'd need to translate to the reference ranges I see when I do my bloods. Also - not sure of your age and this may not matter but be prepared to see your balls shrink and ejaculate reduce. This apparently can be counteracted by HGC but isn't offered in the UK NHS. Am thinking of using a private doctor to get this looked at because I'm 50, unmarried and still might want to have kids in the next couple of years. Shoot me a PM if you like and I can fish out my previous results to see if there's anything else to mention.
