I'm currently on week 14 of a 22 week cycle of 500mg/test.e & 500mg/EQ. Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) 750iu/Week (250iu/m/w/f) and proviron 50mg/day.

I have just run anavar at 100mg/day for the last 8 weeks. I finished that a couple of days ago.

Unfortunately over the last few weeks my libido had died and now I have the limp dick problem. I'm guessing it's because of my high progesterone reading.


Here we go:

Free Test: 2.8%
Free Test: 235 ng/dl

Testosterone: 6,130 ng/dL
Bioavailable: 5,939 ng/dL
Bioavailable: 96.9%

Estradiol: 62.9 pg/mL (7.63-42.6)
Prolactin: 0.2 ng/mL (4.04-15.2)
Progesterone: 9.07 ng/ml (0.2-1.4)
SHBG: 7.62 nmol/L (14.5-48.4)

DHEA-S: 253 ug/dl (80-560)
Albumin: 4.66 g/dl (3.40-4.80)

Cholesterol: 187 mg/dl (0-240)
Triglyceride: 156 mg/dl (<150)
HDL Chol: 35 (>40)



My lipids have taken a beating. 3 months ago my Triglycerides were 31mg/dl!!! and my HDL was 53mg/dl High Triglycerides and low HDL is a very bad sign. I guess it's green tea, brown rice and veg for me for the next 8 weeks!

My progesterone is up again from 2 weeks ago when the reading was 5.08 ng/ml and also my e2 is up from it's normal average reading of 30.

My prolactin is nil.

Any help would be appreciated.

Do you think it's time to drop my test down to 250mg and cruise until the end of my cycle with the EQ at 500mg/week?

Maybe it's time to introduce the winstrol to see if that reduces my progesterone? I've read winstrol can help reduce progesterone.

I have 8 weeks left on this cycle.

Any help is welcome!

May want to look into taking 1mg per week of Caber/Dostinex.

I have no idea, technically the only way i see it to get that high is by shooting deca. since deca is a prog that would prolly show up on the bloods.

the other thing that is weird is he has almost no prolactin, so im really confused, need some more backround on the cycle prior to these bloods.
 
progesterone to men is kind of like what T is to women, we make VERY little amounts in the testicles, like i said im clueless as to why his is soo high. me with BPH tend to have higher prog levels, are you peeing a lot?

ive heard anadrol can cause progesterone and it wouldnt be the 1st time people bought var that was actually low doses of other orals because var is so expensive.

His "eq" may be deca.

I would dump the eq and retest in 4 weeks. E2 is also too high. Needs an AI.

This is the only logical explaination to have prog that high, IMO. I have to go more to the side of deca, cause drol is weird, its not a prog and it does not aromatize, yet it gives symptoms of high E and high PROG, this is because it up regulates those receptors, so i beleive you would feel the sides but blood levels may not rise.

Thanks for the replies guys.

I dropped the var over a week ago and started on 20mg of Winstrol (winny) a day. My libido came back within a few days of doing this and over a week later I'm on fire again! Maybe it was the var killing my libido?

I have no idea why my prog is this high. I'm sure the EQ is 100% legit. I would have thought if it was Deca then my prolactin levels would have been high, but they're low.

Thinking about it, I have a complete blood cell count done the other week and my RBC wasn't elevated at all. I would have thought it would have been after 14 weeks on EQ.

I'll drop the EQ and get re-checked in 4 weeks.

For an Aromatase inhibitor (AI), I'm running 12.5mg of aromasin a day. Not sure why my e2 was spiked on this test, the last 5 tests I've had over the course of 14 weeks it was always around 30. I will get my e2 checked again this week and if needed adjust my aromasin dosage.

Thanks for the feedback.

yove been orals long enough , drop the winnie .
 
I was just looking over these bloods again, are you sure you dont have the ranges confused on prolactin and prog? looks like they are flip flopped and that would explain low prolactin high progesterone for sure lol !
 
DET - I thought this myself. However I had my prolactin and progesterone checked 4 weeks previous to this test and my prolactin was 0.1 and progesterone around 5.
 
right but does it look like this

Prolactin: 0.2 ng/mL (4.04-15.2)
Progesterone: 9.07 ng/ml (0.2-1.4)

or this

Prolactin: 0.2 ng/mL (0.2-1.4)
Progesterone: 9.07 ng/ml (4.04-15.2)
