Default Questions about Testosterone

I just gt some lab results back, and everything was normal except my testosterone. The nurse said that the since it is only slightly elevated (1.0, should be under 0.82) the doctor does not want to treat me for it. I told her that since I will be TTC again soon, that I would like to get it back into a normal range, because that may be why I haven't been able to conceive.

My question is, what are the treatments for elevated testosterone. And also, are there any alternative remedies for lowering it as well?

Check in the 'hair' forum for threads on the various antiandrogens like Spiro or flutamide.

Check in alternative remedies for threads on topics like spearmint, and a few others.

If you have weight issues, calorie restriction and/or weight loss can also bring androgen levels down.

My testosterone levels returned to normal after losing weight which it looks like you've been doing. So probably if you continue they will return to normal levels especially since they are so close to being there already. Good luck!

Yes, I decided to take a break from TTC for a couple of months. I had to push to have my hormones checked because I had a gut feeling that something was preventing me from conceiving. I now walk 4 miles a day on the treadmill, and am on a 1200 calorie diet and I drink nothing but water. Thanks for the info!!!
