New labs - need some help

[Tide14]

Background: I've been on Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) for about 7 months. I've had major problems trying to keep my Estrogen from going through the roof but as you'll see from my labs I finally got that lowered When it's high I have a lack of energy but no gyno issues. Now that its low I don't notice side effects but I'm hoping for a little more energy when I get it back up. Not feeling much of a difference when it's high or low makes it difficult to get it in the zone by feel.

Current Protocol:

70 mg Prop EOD
250 ius HCG E5D
1mg Adex daily (I know to back this down now but I did this for months before my estrogen finally got this low)
500mg Calcium D Glucarate 2x day (I think this really helped with my Estrogen)
30 mg Armour 2x day
25mg Stanozolol injectable weekly (doing this for 12 weeks to lower SHBG)

Labs:

These look good to me:
Total Test 983 ng/dl (348-1197)
Free Test 37.35 ng/dl (5-21)
SHBG 10.9 nmol/L (16.5-55.9)

I know this is low, I'll lower Adex!
Estradiol, Sensitive <3 pg/ml (3-70)

Stanzolol destroys my HDL , working on my diet to get LDL in check:
Cholesterol Total 186
HDL 29 (>39)
LDL 138 (0-99)

No F'ing clue here:
TSH 1.99 (.45-4.5)
T4 4.1 (4.5-12)
T2 Uptake 43 (24-39)

Any thoughts, comments, etc? Especially on the Thyroid or if you think any of my comments are incorrect. Ihave additional labs but they are all normal. Hematocrit was at the high end but I gave blood the day after my labs.

Thanks!

Those SHBG numbers look great at 10.9. What was your previous SHBG at? I am curious to see how much the Stanzolo helped.

I was taking the Stanzolo 50mg troche 1 per week and it got my SHBG down from 32 to 18 in just 6 months. But your right it also killed my HDL, which went down from 66 to 43 =(

At your SHBG levels - I would try reducing your Stanz to maybe once every 2 weeks and see what that does. Or even just stop the Stanz altogether.

Last SHBG was at 36.9. Most recent results were after taking 25mg/week for 6 weeks. It works fairly quickly with me. In talking with CJW (where the hell is he?) he told me he normally goes for 12 weeks at a time then stops and it keeps his SHBG down for around 6 months if I remember correctly. I'm trying to decide if I want to stretch it out that long. Maybe cutting back to every 2-3 is the way to go.

T3 Uptake 43 (24-39)

TSH looks fine, I'd want it over 1 and under 2.2 or so,
so it's good.
T3 uptake: good, looks like mine.
T4: good - if t3 uptake was low and this was low or high I'd be worried. But it looks like you are converting the t4 to t3 fine and t3 and tsh look great so everything's working as
It should.

Looks good to me man. Would not change a thing with thyroid meds at this time.

If anyone knows different/better please correct me but looks good to me
