Lab surprise: 400 cholesterol, 7500 test!

C

C18H22O2

.
Yearly physical.
I'm on testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) year round, 100 mg/wk test cyp. This keeps me at about 800.
I just got a call from my Dr.
My cholesterol is 400 (above 200 is bad), and my testosterone is 7500 (240-840 is ref range).

For about 14 weeks I was on 650 mgs test cyp / test decanoate. My last shot was over 6 weeks ago. I had no expectation that I would still be loaded up with test after 6 weeks. I must still have it coming out of depots all over my body. This sucks because my Dr. now wants me to cut back to 33 mg / week and come back in a month. I don't think it's going to be back to anywhere near normal in a month.

I was already to get back on but this is fucking up my plans. I've already used about a gram since I got the bloodwork done and before I got the results. It's the decanoate ester, it's half life must be way longer than I thought it was.

This year I was also on tren, dianabol, and very briefly winstrol. I have no idea which fucked my cholesterol. My Dr. unfortunately, thinks it's my testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) dose of cyp. I have no plans to tell him about my using because that's the last thing I want in my insurance file. I do want to fix the cholesterol.

1) The cholesterol sucks. Can this be from the test?
2) I was on nandralone and tren during those 6 weeks that I thought I was getting the test out of my body in preparation for my physical. Can that stuff cause a false positive for testosterone in Labcorps test? The other thing I was thinking is what if my nandralone was really just more testosterone decanoate. I don't know.

I'm on testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) for life. I want to show him normal results so I can keep my 100 mg/week perscription the way it is . 33 mg/wk won't keep me where I like to be. 1 month is way too soon. The thing is, I don't even know if I'll be back to normal in 2 months now.

Anybody been in a spot like this?
 
Those numbers seem insane bro. 7500 Test? 400 cholesterol? Those numbers seem dangerous if they are correct.
 
something is not right...I'm running 600mg of test and 600mg of eq and my last profile - while on - test was at 4040...wonder if the lab f'd up?
 
Just don't go back in for 2-3 months. Tell him you tried 33mg/week and felt like shit so you went back to 100mg/week. Get the bloodwork done. It'll come back with normal test levels and he'll be satisfied.

Never used winstrol ever again.

No, that sounds more typical/about right.
 
Where did you do your injections? Possibly the delts? Did you inject in the same spot often? Let me everything about this you are willing to tell me. I think it may help us to understand pharmokinetic changes based on injection technique/location.
 
Here's some stuff I forgot about before:
I was on letrozol my entire cycle. That could have affected my cholesterol.

In the 6 weeks I laid off the test before my bloodwork, I was on nolvadex and clomiphine. I laid off that about 5 days before the bloodwork. Not soon enough maybe. That could have elevated my test level. But not to 7500.

I was using nandralone decanoate, the last week I had logged was about 0.8 gram, about a month before the bloodwork. If somehow that wasn't deca, but test, that might have thrown it off. I don't think my guy would mistake them though.

Next 2-3 months I'm planning to run tren E at about 400 a week while my test levels drop. I'll be using nolvadex to combat gyno while my test levels are still high. I hope tren and nolvadex are both things that can't aggrivate problem cholesterol levels.

Sites: I alternate between glutes, delts & quads. 6 sites. I try to never hit the same spot twice.
 
those numbers are crazy. were you fasting before taking the blood work?

playing a cat and mouse game with a physician over your health is not beneficial. try to find a doc you can be honest with.
 
1/2 life for nolvadex is like 5 days and even a dose of 2.5mg is effective.

Using tren isn't going to help get that test level into the normal range any more quickly. Too soon to start another cycle, anyway.

I know it is tempting, but you want to simplify things at this time, not make them more complicated.

Are you having trouble with gyno? If not, then there is nothing to combat.
 
That Cholesterol is horrible!!!
Slow down on all that Test form extended periods. An overabundance of Testosterone can lead to enlargement of the Prostate and that leads to Cancer down the road.

I'm placing my bet on the letro, that really messes up the lipid profile for some people.
 
Thanks to all of you. There's so many variables I don't have any chance of determining what did it.

After brief consideration of the seriousness of my cholesterol levels, I decided to drop everything, including tren, pending the results of my next bloodwork. I'm going to wait 2-3 months though. Hopefully whichever thing it was that I fucked myself up with will be totally cleared out of my system by then.

I may tell him "off the record" if any such thing is possible, that it was likely not my testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) 100mg/wk dose of test cyp that did it, but the 14 weeks I was on test decanoate, letrozol, dbol, winstrol, tren. However, I have a bad feeling that telling him what's up could make him want to take me off testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) and/or he might put a note in in my file which could set me up for a problem with insurance or some other kind of aggravation in the future. You can't un-ring a bell.

BTW, it was supposed to be just a test/tren cycle. I bought the stanazozol because somebody said it could combat progesterone related sides, like from tren, then once I had it I tried some just to try it. It didn't do a single thing for me except a crackling noise started coming from my knees shortly after starting. The dbol didn't do a thing except give me headaches and high blood pressure. I won't touch either again.

I've got about 10 g of each that now I'm thinking might as well pour down the sink. I can't think of any use I could ever have for it. I wouldn't give it to a person or animal under any circumstances.

The letro was for puffy nipples that I got on test. The truth is, I've been off the letro for some time and I don't see it getting any worse so perhaps I didn't even need it in the first place.

If my next lipid panel comes back bad, I'll be dealing with that. If not, then I go back on, maybe just test next time. And now I'm thinking I don't even need 600 mg/week given how crazily high my test levels got from that.
