First blood test since starting HRT

[DJ77]

Okay guys, I just got my blood test in and some of it looks great and some not so great. Some of this I'm not even sure how to correct so your suggestions would be appreciated.

Ive been on Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) for 11 weeks with a starting test level of 400. Been taking 200mg to testC e5d with 250iu Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) twice aweek and 1mg Anastrozole e5days. I'm 34 5'10 185 and have been on 3Js cut diet of 2400-2800 very clean diet.

Bun 25 high ... Not sure what that is
FSH 0.2 Low
LH 0.2 Low
Total test 1500 .. I like it there
Free test 44.0
TSH 3.080
Estradiol 67.5 high ... I thought it might be
LDL-P 2239 high
LDL-C high
HDL-C 33 low
LP-IR 62 high
Hematocrit 49.9 high
Igf-1 261
Vitamin D 26.3 low and I've been taking extra D
Igf-bp3. 3.3 low
SHBG 20.3

I would up the Anastrozole to 1mg EOD instead of E5D because you E2 is way too high and I would also up your Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) to 500IU x2 times a week to bring up your LH and save your boys. Now you may not like this but I would drop your Test cyp down to 150mg E5D because when you increase your Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) and Anastrozole dosages this will bring up your test levels. So by bringing Test cyp dosage down this will balance things better when you change the other two dosages. I would retest 6 weeks after you dial in the changes but of course always check with your Doctor first! Thats my opinion!

PS How much Vitamin D are you taking?

My Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) bottle is 11weeks old and I wonder if it's lost it's effectiveness. Plus I left it out of the fridge one night. Anyway, I just ordered 2 5000ius of Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) istead of 1 11,000iu in the hopes it will remain fresh.

Vitamin D-3 about 800-1200iu a day.

Upping your Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) will not raise your LH.

HCG mimics the action of LH in the Testes. It will not cause the pituitary to produce more LH or FSH for that matter.

E needs to come down but increasing Adex may also increase T above 1500. Dropping Test injections back might be a good idea.

T being at or above 1500 is contributing to your 49.9 crit level. If that gets much higher you will be heading into a risk area as your HDL and LDL are skewed as well.

What was your total Cholesterol? I didn't see you list that number

I would up your vitamin D to 5000IU a day. From all the literature I have read thats the optimal dose. If I remember right Charles Polquin an awesome strength coach reccomends that as well. I got mine in that dosage at walmart for dirt cheap. I would go ahead and order the two vials of Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) 5000iu's as well. By leaving it out and the length of time it probably has gone bad imo.

Thanks guys.... Castout, I want to say choleratoral was high at 203.. I'll double check once I get home but pretty sure that's it.

your cholesterol is just above normal,the normal is 200 or less.....and it would be a good idea to get your HDL and LDL in check brother

 

[Frustrated1]

Up the Vit D to at least 4,000 iu/day. Yea E2's a little high. Nice TT level. Pretty good overall, a few tweeks and your there, thanks for sharing. Are you donating blood e8w? Whats your RBC?

 

[MoparMuscle]

Was total t at 1500 or greater then 1500? Labcorp only tests up to 1500 so of it says >1500 then who knows how high it is.

I agree with cashout. Lower the test dose a bit.

 

[DJ77]

Yeah need too dump some blood next week.
RBC is 5.43.
Going to up my Vitamin D to 5000iu

Mopar, I didn't know that they didn't go above 1500!
But your right my test shows >1500 .... Im sure I need to lower my TestC.
Sending this off to Maximus and will see what they recommend.

 

[username1]

quick question where did you get your blood test done from? was it through maximus? i don't see my cholestrol numbers on my first blood test I did through them, had to get that from my general practioner's blood test.

maybe they don't check that on the first test or maybe you have to request for it to be checked?

 

[DJ77]

Went to labcorp for the blood test. I had a script for the blood test from a doc from before I found maximus. I'll use privatelabmd for my next blood test.
