some good news in a storm of bad

baze2

DH and I went to the endocrinologist yesterday. We came home and opened a bottle of wine after the news. Boy do I have a H/A today.. We are taking this month off since he had these appointments and i have pending surgery at the end of month.

So for the good news..only 5% chance he has a pituitary tumor. (His FSH levels, Prolactin and LH did not indicate a tumor). We are retaking the testosterone level. Seems his 76 on a random test is just that. This is totally normal in men. Apparently their Testosterone has peaks and valleys throughout the day and month. SO it is not abnormal until 3 levels are low. YAY. He goes today for another one. and tommorrow for another one.

Then based on that he will be put on FSH injections (gonal-F??? not sure) to stimulate the production...and Testosterone cream on his arm to increase that level (SIde effect of that one is increased sex drive...YAY YAY YAY)

I know this is a long post but wanted to share the good-ish news and maybe help someone else in my same situation...

Have a great day!
