Low T as a healthy 22M with bloodwork below.

Results:

  • Testosterone: 13.5 nmol/L
  • Free testosterone: 306 pmol/L
  • SHBG: 32 → 27 nmol/L
  • LH: 3 IU/L
  • FSH: 4 IU/L
  • Oestradiol: 114 pmol/L
  • Progesterone: 3.3 nmol/L
  • Prolactin: 326 mIU/L
  • DHEA-sulphate: 7.9 µmol/L
  • Cortisol: 679 nmol/L

22M, ~6ft, ~75kg. Don't drink, smoke or vape, in the gym 5x a week, consistent sleep, clean diet, plenty of sun. Rest of my bloods are perfect. It's the hormones I'm not suprised are sub optimal.

Background that might matter: my puberty was slower compared to mates, I was pretty short in my year until ~15–16, then had a late growth spurt. My voice never as deep as others, and still get told I look younger than I am, and my libido is relatively low. What do I do from here

Struggling to model an aerofoil adapter in Inventor: maker said “two lofts, no guide curves” but I can’t get it working

I’m trying to recreate the adapter shown in the left and middle attached images. my failed attempt proof of concept is image 3. The original maker told me:

“I usually loft two sketches for these adapters with no guide curves. I just use a tangent condition and play around with the weighting."

I understand the basic idea, but I can’t get my model to loft at all.

My current approach was:

  1. Sketch the bottom aerofoil profile
  2. Sketch the top aerofoil/plate profile
  3. Try to connect the front and rear curves using vertical 3D sketch lines as guide curves
  4. Loft between the two profiles

The issue is that the guide curves don’t seem to snap cleanly to the profiles, and they don’t control the loft properly. The result either fails or gives a bad shape.

I also don’t understand how the original model gets the smooth curved front and rear vertical lines. What sketch are they part of?

I made a simple proof-of-concept model, but I’m clearly missing something in the setup because it doesnt work (shown in image)

How do I actually loft the two aerofoils too get the nice curve, noting the top aerofoil is slightly bigger than the bottom.

Any help would be massively appreciated. I’m pretty stuck on this one.
