**Total Estrogen Blood Work** wow.....

[BigBlackguy]

Sorry buddy, but there is nothing to say.

You have total estrogens. We need to know ESTRADIOL. Estradiol is a type of estrogen, the estrogen that is formed when testosterone (or some other steroids) interacts with the aromatase enzyme. There are other types of estrogen which aren't as important for us to know about. You have TOTAL estrogen, not estradiol, measured. So we don't know if your AI is bunk or not cause we need the E2 (estradiol) number.

Best bet is to up your adex and see if the gyno subsides. Could try raloxifene (SERM) as well.

A doctor is not going to risk his entire career, his main source of income, something he's worked hard to achieve for YEARS just to help some bro on a cycle.
How knowledgeable he is on AAS becomes completely irrelevant; AAS is illegal dude - simple as that.

As for your bloodwork, its impossible to work out E2 simply based on your total estrogen, you need the full female hormone panel to see your E2 levels.
Everything else looks fine - as Mega already pointed out.

Thanks for the response. In my opinion, it doesn't matter if what I'm doing is illegal or not. Heroin is illegal, yet methadone clinics exist. I have gyno, a condition that needs treatment due to elevated estrogen. What if I had low T due to extended years of steroid use? Is he not gonna risk his career, his main source of income blah blah to put me on TRT? I get your point, but still makes me mad.

I asked for e2, free test blood work, prolactin and progesterone. He basically said go to hell and did the 2 total tests, and said no to prolactin and progesterone. So I went to any lab test and had prolactin done.

Any comments on my CBC?? Look at my white blood cell count. I feel great. Not sick at all..... any ideas?

Doctors will exhaust all available avenues before treating low t symptoms before just writing you out a script and "helping you out." I'm still going through the hoops and my endo hasn't even considered writing a script for anything. It's been almost half a year. If you're frustrated now just give it a bit. A long bit....

Some causes of Leukopenia (low WBC): low B-12, low thyroid, low adrenal, chronic infections, over training.

Some info I found, just a little research:

A seriously low WBC count can be indicative of other problems, including immunosuppressive disorders. If your bloodwork only included total WBCs, and not differential counts (ie neutrophils vs monocytes vs basophils vs etc...). Abnormal counts in each of these indicate different disorders. A diff count is a good starting point before ordering further tests or seeing a hematologist.

Apparently low WBC is okay, but if the differentials are off, it's not okay.

What about abnormally high WBC? Mine is outta range. This was the case when I was off cycle too last December. Only thing I can find is that my body might be fighting infection....but I feel great? Could this be something way more serious?

It is probably just allergies or something. You only need to worry about it if it stays like that over time or keeps getting worse.

If the doc isn't worried, and you're still worried, you could seek a second opinion. But we probably won't be able to help you if the doctor can't...

Yea, allergies are a possibility..... elevated WBC in December though...what allergies? Snow?

Keep in mind this is the same doctor that doesn't know shit about androgens and anabolics. I'll see a second opinion....

Maybe you have cancer. Is that what you are hoping to hear?

It isn't that high. I wouldn't lose sleep over it. You body was fighting something off.

My dad died of cancer 8 weeks ago. Highly possible. Thanks Megatron.

E2 isn't in labs, but I just watched a singer on american idol, and started to tear up. Need aromasin stat. I'm a whiny bitch right now.

Feeling like king kong today. Railed a line of aromasin and tush pushed a cap of caber. On cloud 9 now. Boom.
