31 on Clomid, Looking to Transition to T Cyp

Thyroid seems unrelated to skin condition.

Your vitamins had good iodine and selenium levels, if you take them. That would be on top of iodine from iodized salt.

Have you ever not used iodized salt and not been taking a vitamin with iodine?

Your AD medication may be addressing issues that are low-T and thyroid related. Address those and get off of Lexapro later.

Cholesterol and lipids are good, fixing T, E2 and thyroid will improve.

Your body temperature is determined by fT3 and rT3 can oppose fT3. There is no T4 receptor, but docs skip T3 labs all of the time. Your body temps say it all.

Thyroid labs:
TSH
fT4
fT3
rT3
thyroid auto-immune panel

It would have been a lot more useful to test LH and FSH.

For most men, 1/2mg anastrozole per week will not be optimal. Target is E2=22pg/ml which for most seems best for mood, libido, sexual function and energy.

Thyroid is more complex than TRT and most guys who come here have some thyroid issues.

Evaluate your overall thyroid function by checking oral body temperatures as per the thyroid basics sticky. Thyroid hormone fT3 is what gets the job done and it regulates mitochondrial activity, the source of ATP which is the universal currency of cellular energy. This is part of the body’s temperature control loop. This can get messed up if you are iodine deficient. In many countries, you need to be using iodized salt. Other countries add iodine to dairy or bread.

I can be a bit abrupt in my replies and recommendations. I have a lot of ground to cover as this forum has become much more active in the last two years. I can’t follow threads that go deep over time. You need to respond to all of my points and requests as soon as possible before you fall off of my radar. The worse problems are guys who ignore issues re thyroid, body temperatures, history of iodized salt. Please do not piss people off saying that lab results are normal, we need lab number and ranges.

The value that you get out of this process and forum depends on your effort and performance. The bulk of your learning is reading/studying the suggested stickies.
