What were the "normal" ranges for the lab that reported those results?

They have the range at 241-827 ng/dl.Kroms_laugh said:
I have researched several labs online and it seems there are some variations depending on the lab, the country, and the gender. Personally, at 28 (male)my levels should be a lot higher that the mid to low 200's. My father and grandfather are both on HRT and there is a genetic link. My dad started HRT in his early 40's and had been suffering from S/S for several years prior to the arrival of mainstream HRT. I have seen the high end of some scales to be 1000 ng/dl. It just chaps my a$$ that internal med docs pull labs and see its in the range and they blow it off. I need someone who isn't burned out, sees these type of patients, and can rub more than two brain cells together at one time. There are good docs and bad docs and the good ones probe and question to individual therapy for a specific patient. There is no such thing as a "cookie cutter" patient.

Yeah Kroms..my ejac levels can also be very low... takes days of abstinence for it to build up to what i would call "normal". Hcg seemed to fix this for a moment then it dropped again. Did you mean your levels were low before starting the Test or after? Alot of guys on clomid say this med improves it significantly(which i guess you would have noticed when you were on it)Kroms_laugh said:LOL I love that flick!
I feel great so far. Still energenic. I'm not nearly as groggy and tired as I used to be. One thing I have notice, my ejaculation is no where near the quantity it used to be. However, I am able to have frequent sex again, and at times find myself attacking my wife when she's getting dressed.I am in school (college to be exact) and I never noticed the girls like I do now that I'm on the T. It's all I see anymore (I feel like I'm 16 again). I don't know if this is the test or not, but my muscle has hardened up pretty good. I don't fatigue early in my workout like I used to. My strength is coming back. All systems are go, really.
.... I have heard also that high E levels can also lower semen production.

Before HRT my levels were (I wont bother with all 500 thousand of my lab results
... but this is a vague average that tells the story clear enough to answer your question);Testosterone: very low
FSH: very low
LH: low
Sperm count: slightly above normal
Clomid turned me into a beast... I was more sexually active, stronger, gaining muscle faster... but I was a moody SOB and I still had severe anxiety / depression.

Hey... sorry, I wasnt referring to "hormone levels"... I meant, did you mean that your ejac levels were low prior to test therapy? Did the clomid make a big difference to this whilst you were taking it?Kroms_laugh said:Before HRT my levels were (I wont bother with all 500 thousand of my lab results

Oh ... whoops. LOL My ejac was and always had been quite a bit before starting TRT. During my Clomid test... it was even more in quantity. Now... it's almost nothing.
A cut and paste.

Eat Right for Maximum Ejaculate
Nutrition plays a great role in determining both the content and volume of your ejaculate. Naturally, a balanced diet is essential for good sexual health, but the vitamins, minerals and supplements listed below can have a dramatic effect on the volume of ejaculate your body produces.
The supplement L-Arginine is an amino acid the body uses for a variety of important chemical and cellular processes. . .it is also believed to help you produce more volume of ejaculate. 500mg daily and (this is important...) 1,000mg 30-40 minutes prior to sexual activity. Like all natural supplements, you must be patient and allow your body's "storehouse" to build-up. This period takes anywhere from 2-4 weeks depending upon the individuals baseline health and metabolic rate.
Zinc - One of the nutrients most critical for prostate health. The prostate needs 10 times more zinc than any other organ in the body. It is vital for preventing prostate problems. Unfortunately, 90% of men consume diets deficient in Zinc because most of our food is processed. Irving Bush and Associates at Chicago's Cook County Hospital tested the effectiveness of Zinc supplementation on men with prostate problems. All patients reported symptomatic improvement while almost 80% had palpable shrinkage of the prostate gland. RDA is 15 mg...we recommend 45 mg per day.
Lycopene - is a natural anti-oxident that is prevalent in tomatoes. Recent studies show it to have roughly twice the power of Beta-Carotene and 10 times the strength of Vitamin E, when it comes to protecting and healing our bodies from the damage of free radicals which are the cancer precursors. In fact, free radicals are now considered to be one of the main causes of disease and aging. In a process known as oxidation, they accelerate the breakdown of our cell's structure, thereby damaging the DNA and weakening our immune system. A four year study at Harvard University set out to see whether the five major antioxidants found in fruits and vegetables would have any beneficial effect on prostate cancer. Of the five, only Lycopene was found to have a direct link. They found that of the 50,000 healthy males studied, those who ate at least 10 servings of tomatoes or tomato based products per week were 33% less likely to develop prostate complications than those who never ate them. Researchers concluded that the active antioxidant in tomatoes, Lycopene, significantly reduced the risk of prostate difficulties and improved its function. We recommend 10-12 servings of tomatoes or tomato based foods per week. Do not use or ingest if allergic.
Beta-Sitosterol - is another nutrient that may benefit men with prostate problems. One double blind study of 100 men showed that Beta-Sitosterol taken over a six month period improved urine flow, reduced the size of the prostate and led to subjective feelings of improvement.
Niacin - is important for many cellular processes. Supplementation with extra niacin in your diet will promote increased blood flow to all parts of your body. . .including the scrotum and testicles.
