Blood Labs in...................................

Got my blood labs from last week. I was off T shots for 2 weeks on this blood lab but continued with 500 i.u. HCG EOD....
So these labs are with 2 weeks of 500 i.u. HCG EOD and E4D ADEX 0.25 mg.
As I mentioned to you all...I was feeling like it was a bit too much to be on both T shots and HCG (even in small doses)....
I felt like HCG was working to some degree...
Judging by physical signs i.e. ache in balls after HCG shots, decent strength in gym, and toning/losing weight e.t.c. and increase in energy and well being I think the HCG is helping.
I had to go in to this doc to get the labs(this is the Anti TRT GP I have talked about on recent posts). He was not happy to hear I was doing well, had more energy and better libido on HCG when I saw him today. It's obvious he is looking out for his best interests instead of mine. It was a very unpleasant visit with him. He is such a big pusher of Anti D's that he does not want to hear a patient is doing well off anything else. We are done....this was it. I had to go to the office and see him and get copies of my old labs from last year...
or else they would not hand them over.
I needed them for my file.
My E2 came back over the range a bit so it's HI the range is less than 157 pmol/L...
I will have to take ADEX on E3D instead and run labs on it to see how much more it comes down....
That's why I was probably feeling Anxiety...my E2 was HI.
I'm doing way better guys....thanks to everyone for helping!!!!

Total T: 596 ng/dl
Estradiol: 160 pmol/L
LH: <1
FSH: <1
 
I have to add that my liver enzymes came back well within range. My ALT came down 20 points since hoping on this protocol.
 
I've been off T shots for 3 weeks now....
So technically I should be at my lowest point now. Have Energy and libido is good.
Workouts are decent too.
I got impatient when first hoping on the HCG and started the T shots 2 days later while I was still using the HCG.
 
I'm no expert nor am I going to guess on possible outcomes in regards to permanent restarts. Cause permanent restarts are not always possible. But it looks like my system can still make the T when sufficiently stimulated by HCG.
So being on that 2.5 year TRT protocol with no HCG might not have fried my balls completely.

Your testicles might be functioning, but you'll never restart your pituitary while on HCG, since its suppressive. Have you decided on whether your going to actually try a proper restart, or just stay on TRT for good?

I agree. I will try. From what I have read HCG needs to be used for a little bit to get T up to around 800-900 ng/dl range (if possible) before starting the SERM therapy.
I'm over 3 weeks now from last T shot. I only took T for 3 weeks.
No crash, training is good e.t.c.
 
So you are at 44 pg/ml using the regular assay. I wouldn't consider that to be high. It would be better to get the a sensitive assay next time to be more accurate.

ok. Thanks. I will. Might have to purchase this test thru another source though.

I would just try the SERM therapy now, before you become secondary hypogonadal because of the HCG suppression....

HCG stops secretion of pituitary hormones...so it does make you "secondary" while you are on it.
Do you mean becoming primary hypogonadal from desensitization to LH?

No i mean secondary as in eventually your pituitary will quit trying to restore itself.
 
Emphasis on this.

Austinite...
What else can you tell me on this result. These results were 15 days after last T shot and ON HCG.
The HCG being 500 i.u. EOD (just as we discussed in earlier posts from previous months on this matter)
I'm 25 days after last T shot today....no crash to report still stable T levels and good workout yesterday e.t.c.
 
Not to sure this entire 596 ng/dl of T.T. could be from the HCG I'm running.
Like I mentioned....
I did 4 shots of T at 160 mg/every 7 days while still running HCG (300 i.u. E4D)
This result was 15 days from last T shot while on 500 i.u. HCG EOD.
This would need to be retested at 4 weeks from last shot and continuing on same protocol of HCG (500 i.u. EOD) to get truer baseline levels.
