your estradiol is low for having test that high. which either means the labs are wrong or somethings going on with your liver making aromatase. some other popular lyme drugs can slightly impare aromatase activity but anyways with a TT of 1000 ur e2 should be in the 40s. Prolactin being close...

If you go cold turkey without a restart you are in for about 3-4 months of pure hell. the first 3-4 weeks arent so bad. After that you will be really sore, both ur muscles and legiments and joints will hurt all the time. You wont have any energy and all you will want to do is lay in bed and...

If you are using glass ampules sometimes microscopic shards of glass will fall into the mixture when the needle sucks them up they can clog the new needle. Same thing can happen if you pierce the rubber membrane, a small chunk of membrane will clog up the needle. I like using the BD filter...

a lot of good advice given here, just thought I would point out another option. Basically it would involve you going off of test and hcg and going on clomid. Give the hCG time to see if it works, you can get your semen count/motility checked. Then if after a while its not working try Clomid.

Labcorp recently changed their labranges. But labwork is not supposed to be definitive for diagnosis, its supposed to help guide providers. TB is a mofo. Id try to find a doc that is NOT a mainstream doctor and NOT a member of the Infectious Disease Society of America. A provider who...

When using the Roche ECLIA Estradiol test it can interpret inflammation as Estradiol. A few ways to deal with this would be using Doctors Best high absorption Tumeric/Circumin, and the other would be a 12-24hr fast before the blood draw, last thing would be ketogenic diet of any variety...

with a hurricane on the way and another few brewing behind it there will probably be delays for the next month. if youre due a refill then be carefull you dont run out of test. not saying anything bad about anyone just be prepared is all. good luck to anyone in the path of irma.

in hashimotos thyroiditis people can experience periods of hyperthyroidism, euthroidism and hypothyroidism. Unless your experimenting with cytomel ur FT3 shouldnt be 8. Its good that a followup produced normal values but it merits further investigation. quests TPO and TGAB antibody test is...

Good stuff IMT. Plateletaphresis only works when the aphresis machine is old, and your HCT is 51 or lower. Why? Because the old machines arent very good at spinning out the platelets and consequently damage the RBC's causing them to die prematurely. Almost all of the regional blood banks...

From a Physicians standpoint, having high crit is more dangerous than low ferritin. So if a person donates too much they will just get iron deficiency anemia, which is treatable. If a person doesnt donate and their hematocrit goes to like 60%, a person is in much more danger of throwing a clot.

a person who does not have polycythemia vera should not donate blood regularly. Your H/H being high with low testosterone indicates the presence of an abnormality in your sleep. During hypoxia the kidneys secrete erythropoitein which tell the bone marrow to make red blood cells. I would take...

Basically in healthy men their Ferritin should be around 125. Ferritin is the amount of protein bound iron in the blood referred to as storage iron. I tanked my iron stores donating blood. My last ferritin reading was 40, and i self phlebbed 2 pints after that. I found some injectible iron...

In a sense you cant blame someone for all the crap they read online. But you are providing them legal access to a controlled substance from dea registered real doctors and pharmacys, and they want to argue with you about the safety of hCG? Though nothing really surprises me anymore. just...

For a beginner stay around 40. Once you know how to manage your dose and hct then play around with things.

The blood bank I goto asks about being on TRT. Of course I lie and say no. Goto a different bank and answer the question differently.
