Blood work help needed

[testX]

I originally posted in the General Anabolics forum but figured the info should be over here considering the suggestions for TRT.

steroidology.com/forum/anabolic-steroid-forum/634779-my-bloodwork-pre-cycle-help-needed.html

Basically I just got bloodwork done for pre-cycle. Test looks low to me, Im no expert however. I am trying to figure out if a Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) prescription would be possible and/or testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) options.

Any help you guys could would be great!!

Of course they say test is within normal levels and no treatment is necessary....I asked what if I wanted to look into more opitons because the test is almost at the low normal limit, they are giving me a list of Endo's to call...

Your T looks low. You need to figure out what is causing it before starting treatment. Check your LH, FSH and thyroid out.

yea man call us, we can get you a script with those low numbers no problem.

also prolactin. Hows your height weight and diet as well.

 

[testX]

Im didnt know prolactin was a seperate test, I will look into that.

I am 6'2" 182lbs

I lifted on/off over the last 10 years but changed my mentallity and became totally dedicated 1.5 years ago. I was a very fat kid growing up. A few years ago I did the absolute wrong thing and tried "dirty bulking. I balloned up to 245lbs, who knows how much bf%. In the last 6 months I have dropped to the lowest weight since I was a teenager. I feel great but obviously want to gain quality mass now. I dont know if the rapid weight loss would have anything to do with the results....I would think they would be better now but I dont know.

This brings up another concern. I wanted him to specifically check estrogen because I have always thought that I have some sort of Gyno, not full blown because there is no hard lump but I have always carried alot of fat in the chest. Now that I have cut down its alot better but is still there. I still dont know if in fact it is a hormone issue or just a carry over from when I was a fat kid....

Here are some progress pics.. I will have to look into the prolactin test.

Det-oak - I assume you guys would be a better route than one of these anti aging clinics local to me that seem to want hundreds to set up a program and give shots I could do myself right?View attachment 546398View attachment 546399View attachment 546400

 

[testX]

Diet was harsh while cutting down. Very low carbs, 1800 cal p/d.

Now things are back to normal, trying to be slightly over maintenance.

2700-3200 cal
270 carb
270 pro
70 fat

Chicken, oatmeal, rice, potato, steak, veggies, whey, almond butter, olive oil

prolactin can help determine the cause of your low T, im not sure if its seperate or in what panel its in. Another one to check is Cortisol as well as ferritin. If theres anything I have learned check everything first for a minumum so you have baseline numbers to deal with, dont just jump into meds before seeing the whole picture. Your height weight isnt bad either is diet it seems. You may want to theck into andrenel fatigue as well as this may have happened due to hardcore cutting. What about having enough calcium in a diet as well as red meat. I can tell you from doing diets as liek you mentioned I tend to feel like chit as well.

 

[testX]

Calcium could be an issue, I used to drink tons of milk but cut it out during cutting.

Red meat is not a problem, ha... I think I eat to much of it as it is. I eat chicken all day but generally have red meat at night. Rarely eat whole fish, just fish oil.

multi vitamin can do wonders as well if you dont already take one.

 

[THE-DET-OAK]

yes we will be much less expensive than them.

 

[testX]

Ok, will I need the LH results also? I am going for a third time today for blood...........

yes we will be much less expensive than them.

 

[THE-DET-OAK]

that reading will merely help determine if it is secondary or primary, but the blood test is inaccurate and LH can not be used soley to determine. urine sample for LH is best, I think thats because that reading is the total amount produced in a day, and blood is specific point in time.

If it was me and I could get the blood work, I would get everything listed here in the blood test section

Cortisol

Folate

Comprehensive Metabolic panel (14)

CBC with Differential/Platelet

Luteinizing Hormone (LH)

Thyroid Function TSH, T3, T4

Estradiol

Progesterone

Lipid Panel with LDL/HDL Ratio

Testosterone, Free and Total

Prostate Specific Ag, Serum

IGF-1 (Insulin Growth Factor 1)

Hepatic Panel

DHEA-S

Prolactin

Ferritin

SHBG

Adrenal Fatigue Evaluation


Its best to get a baseline of everything, although not everyone can budget for that kind of test so its not a necessity, but a valuable tool that you can use latter if your testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) is not successful.

 

[testX]

Alot of that was already done in the test results posted. It looks like I would need to add:

My insurance has covered the tests I already took, Im not sure if I can get these added, I will have to find out.
