Blood Work 1 year and Half on TRT 26 year old

Here is my protocol, I have been a member in a bunch of different forums and learned a lot these last three years. Been on TRT for 1.5 years.
I Have a disease called Chron's disease that affects the way my body absorbs food and is makes my small intestines inflamed. I have times of flare ups and times of remission, remission is good!!!!! I have been since starting TRt THANKS TO TESTOSTERONE!!!!!! I wish others could benefit from this a well, but many doctors have no idea Testosterone takes inflammation down and actually helps, well my gastro still has no clue, all this thanks to my Endo and sports med doctor who prescribes it to me.

Testosterone Cypionate total 200mgs twice a week injections . 100mgs on Monday and 100mgs on Friday.
HCG 250iu on Sundays and 250 iu on Wednesdays.
Arimidex .5mg 12 hours after each shot of testosterone.

HGH: Tev Tropin 2.5 iu a day 7 days a week, Been on it for about a month and a half. Hence the IGF 1 test (Check it out)

I had the blood work on a monday morning. now I dont remember if I was fasting or not but I do remember I took my last shot of HGH at 9 pm on the sunday before the monday blood work.

I see the testosterone is high, and I am going to drop to 150mgs a week. I am also going to start a blast in a month or so.
Blast Protocol:
Deca Durabolin 300mgs a week 10 weeks
also Testosterone I am keeping the cypionate but upping the dose to 400mgs divided into those same days I already have the TRT injections.
also going to raise the Arimidex from .5mgs to 1 mg 12 hours after the Testosterone shots.

Let me know what you guys think. Please only Veterans! Don't need no kids telling me what to do, I know a lot already.
Thanks Guys

Wow, I had no idea that TRT could benefit Chron's Disease! Very nice! Your bloods look pretty damn good to me, although with your TSH numbers, you might want to talk to your doc as that could mean possible thyroid issues further down the line. I'd also (if you're not) add in some fish oil (2-4g daily) for your HDL levels.

Regarding your blast, I'd keep caber on hand as deca is a 19-nor compound which means it has the propensity to elevate prolactin levels. While keeping your E2 down with the arimidex is going to certainly help, it's better safe than sorry in my opinion. I don't know if I would bump up the arimidex to 2g a week starting off unless you know you're going to start really producing that estrogen. Start off with your TRT dosage and slowly bump up the adex as needed - that should help to keep you from crushing your estrogen, which you do still need some of to build muscle and maintain a healthy libido/bone density.

Thanks Halfwit. Great input.
I will take some more fish oil and will have a lil talk with the doc about those tsh levels. I always had them kinda high since staring testosterone replacement therapy (TRT). Might have an MRI of my pituitary gland as well.
I will also ask him to give me a prescription for cabergoline and will take it with my blast. How much Caber should I run through the blast?

Nice bloods man. I like that IGF reading for only 2.5ius of GH. I am hoping to get on some GH soon. Yeah, that TSH is high. Ideally, in order for the majority of the people out there to feel optimal, it is good to have it between 1-2 on the scale. Exogenous testosterone lowers thyroid output and my TSH climbed the minute I got on testosterone replacement therapy (TRT). If you are going to get on a thyroid med, I would supplement a small tad bit of T3 and see how you feel. As for the Caber, I run .5mg twice per week throughout any cycle with a 19-nor steroid. Good luck man.

I apreciate your input borther. Will do the caber .5 twice a week, what days tho?
And T3 will lower the TSH a bit?

Just spread out the caber evenly throughout the week. You can take Caber Mon, Thursday, etc. As for T3, yes it will drastically lower TSH. Generally endos will always prescribe T4 only at first. However, I would recommend holding off getting on a thyroid med until you get off the GH. A buddy of mine when he runs GH has a much higher TSH reading than when he is off. So honestly, I would maybe cycle a small amount of T3 in the mix like 12.5-25mcg per day and then see how it goes. As you may know, GH and test both can decrease thyroid output. If you are not having hypothyroid symptoms, then it may not even be a big deal to you.

Will talk to the doc next week and see what he thinks. He's very open with these type of things. I will keep posted on what I will be doing.
Thanks for the help, all is appreciated.
