got my t levels back today.

Its been a good day for me. I had recently got test levels checked. I just got levels back today. I am curently on Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT). (very low dose) 100 mg cyp every two weeks. my point being that my levels were way higher than expected.

Normal ranges

5.8-28nmol/L

my value was: 22.6

BTW I got blood tested Day after injection, do you guys think that would have anything to do with high levels? Or would they stay fairly consistent for the following two weeks till my next injection?

anyways those are not the only point of my storie. There are several infact. first off they forgot to do a Free testosterone blood test so I went back to the lab were they usually take my blood. It turns out I have to get another docs requisit to get the blood tests done. I new my doc was not in today and I didn't want to have to come to clinic tomorow so I went to a different clinic. I tell the doc what I need. He seemed totally supprised that I would have low test levels and all that. (6'4" 220 fairly lean)so I just tell him my deals. I enlighten him about my situation. It turns out that this kind of stuff is one of his specialities. so we end up chatting about my situation. I tell him that I have suspected low hormone levels since botched cycle when I was a teen. At this point I know I'm swiching doc cause my other one is a chicken shit that doesnt know jack about this stuff.

We keep talkin and it turns out that he is doing some research with farmacia on HRT and he wants me to be a part of the study. I don't know what this will include but I will jump at the chance to learn any thing of value. Further more, I discuss my shamefull gyno situation with him. I basically tell him that I cant live with this shity prob. He simply said As we continue our investigation we will get a hold of the plastic surgeon and fix that. but first we have to make sure all of your hormones are in check. For me that was Icing on the cake. As I'm sure some of you guys know that this problem has been making me a little crazy as of late. so now do I not only get the benifits of The HRT but It looks like I will finally be able to do something about my horrible man cakes.

I does not bother me that I am on HRT at all. All I can say is that I feel way better than I did before and I am not wasting away any more.

one thing I thought was weird was that he kept talking about the athletes that he gets wanting to "improve there performance" did not know what that was about.

another thing that was weird was that he addmitted to me that I probably know more than most regular docs about the effect of steroids good and bad. I think this is what he said. We were talking about Free test and he said "when you even mention the word free test around regular Physisians most of them get a little squeemish and don't know what you are talking about." and then he tells me It seems that I understand what I am talking about. but then he goes on to tell me the side effects of the steroids. LIke I didnt already know the sides. So I thought he he was doing one of two things trying to convince me not to do steroids and HRT or that He was just covering his bases so he is noe liable.

What do you guys think of my situation.
I think I may have stumbled on some goodness.
I want lots of comments and feed back. I still think I have to play my cards right and be wary of the sit.

Bro I aways do my blood test the day before an injection. Getting your hormones in check is a good idea. My estrogen was high at 72, after 1 year of HRT they are down to 22.

That is what I did today. when I got my levels rechecked, I actually got injection right after blood test. So I guess i will have reference on both ends of the scale. will find out how low it gets at the end of the two weeks and adjust dose acordingly.

this time around I got all of my thyroid levels checked as wel as my glucoral or random glucoral or something like that. BTY way I took ephedrine before I went to the Gym today, do you know if that will effect any of the tests? Also I had A mid term today for school and I did not sleep one wink, I pulled an all nighter so that I could study for my tes today. So that might have an effect on my test levels. Or maby it wont since mine are already in me and pre made.
 
I will also post results on my next blood test which should be back in about ten days or so.
 
Hey bro,
Blood test looks good! My T levels were low and I just recently started HRT also. I just had my follow up blood test this morning (and was also the day after the injection). Will be interesting to see how T levels come in for me. I'll post results also.
 
TESTinME,
hope it works out for you. what doses are you taking? and what Type, I am currently on depotestosterone by pharmacia. is that what they gave to you. I am curious about your age? are you from canada? did you have a hard time getting your doctor to give this to you? And what kind of cycles have you ran in the past? If you don't want disclose all of this in the public forum send me a PM.

peace
 
Hey Snake,
Yes I had a very hard time getting a prescription in Canada. I have found that DR's here do not know very much about Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT). When they do prescribe some DR's will just reach for the Androgel which is sooo poorly absorbed. I have been very fortunate in getting to know some US HRT docs that have helped me with my HRT questions and also referred me to this clinic near Burlington, Ontario (I live in Toronto):
www.mastersmensclinic.com
I am only 30 years old with a couple of test only cylces under my belt. I felt that my T levels were low even before using AAS. Recent results before HRT were:
Free Testosterone 19.6. Ref range 19.0-94 PMOL/L (PMOL is picomoles I believe).
Total Testosterone 7.4 . Ref range 6.0-30 PMOL/L.



The doctor at this clinic agreed with me that androgel is absorbed poorly. They use a compounding pharmacist to make a better gel preparation but it is more expensive then the shots. I wasn't sure my health plan would cover a specialty gel anyway. I am on Delatestryl (test enanthate) by Theramed. Cost was $40 approx but with drug plan it was $10 approx for a 10 week supply.

What about you? Age? Cycles? Getting the HRT?
 
Also, I am on 100 mg per week! 100 mg every 2 weeks seem low bro. How are you feeling towards the end of the 2 weeks??? I wonder what your results would look like the day before the shot after 13 days....

I also think my levels were border line low before I every did steroids. correction I tried steroids in grade ten. I was only on them for a month, but my nuts shrank up so small and they never really grew back. Not even to this day. So I think I permently lowered my natural test production. Part of the reason why I did steroids were to see if it would help my sex drive. It did. Alos I had my t checked when I was 19 it was something really low, like just above the min for normal reference range. I don't think that is proper for a guy at the age of ninteen. I was barely out of pubery and I could hardly get a hard on. It was shitty. I lifted so hard but could not gain weight. I was pretty cut but my bones were frail and tiny. now my wrist actually have size. not super thick but not etheopian skinny looking. I have way better muscle density and my libido is way better.
