Hi girls and guys. Long time no see.

Just wanted to say that I've started a GonalF therapy with my endocrinologist.
I received my first injection of 75UI.

She thinks that I have a rare isolated FSH deficiency.
I consulted several doctors and while they gave different opinions (like, my FSH isn't really deficient) they all agreed that my FSH was indeed lower than usual.

Fertile men usually have a FSH from 3 to 5, while mine is 1,6 - 1,7.
Add to that that my other hormones are normal but in mid-high of referred values, lower FSH in combination with those mid-high hormones (LH, testosterone) could be the reason for poor sperm productions.

I'm hoping for the best, but need to wait minimum 3 months to check...argh. Wish me luck and patience!

@Crob, thanks for answering my question. Fortunately estradiol is okay and not to worry about!
