With Chip for six weeks, update with labs.

Well after test levels in the low 300s I went on Chips conservative protocal. I started at about 175lbs 12-13% bf...had recently been getting weaker in the gym.

I did a few weeks at 150mg test/ 75 deca, then two weeks at 200mg test/ 100 deca... At this point gains were great but still no morning wood, so I dropped the deca, of course I knew I needed to get dialed in without it but after years of low T and not getting results in the gym I was anxious.

So the last 2-3 weeks I've been on
200mg test e5d
1mg armidex e5d (.5 every 2.5 days)
350mg Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) day after test.

Still no morning wood, still a little tired and a slight puffiness on left nipple, no soreness. So of course I got with Chip thinking estrogen.

By the way I've gone from 175 to almost 195lbs... Works outs are great, going up on weight every workout. I'm sure the quick jump is from muscle memory as I've been at this weight a few years ago after an m1t cycle and later superdrol, I just never kept it cause of the low T I didn't know I had.

Test came in today and are as followed.

Wbc 5.2
Rbc. High. 5.64. (4.1-5.6)
Hemoglobin. High 18.4. (12.5-17)
Hematocrit. High. 52.4. (36-50)
Mcv. 93
Mch. 32.6
Platelettes. 189
Test. Above 1500 (348-1197)
Estradiol. 33.7 (7.6-42.6)

What do you guys think, blood count is high, don't know about e.

hmm, E is a bit higher than you want it, I'd like to see it around 20. I would suggest dropping your test back down to 150 and seeing how that goes for you. You want your Test levels to be at a healthy level, that is the point of testosterone replacement therapy (TRT). At a level of 1200 you will still see great gains after being at 300 for so long.

Hopefully dropping your Test down to 150 will take care of the E as well. But, as always, get with your meximus rep before doing anything, they may have a better idea

 

[Spongy]

actually, when did you get your blood tested in proximity to your Test Pin? It's best to get bloods done the morning you Pin, before you pin

 

[cdy2179]

Did blood yesterday, pin tonight (private labs is Damn fast). Theirs no telling how high my levels are getting after I pin, heck I don't know what they are now.

As for going to 150mg I was thinking the same thing. Hopefully that will bring my blood levels in check too. It's kinda scarry having test levels that are to high to measure. I'm also not sure how much the low dosage of deca is effecting my levels... I know deca last a while but I only took it for 4 weeks (low dose of 75-100mg e5d) and I've been off it at least 2 weeks.

As for estrogen, I've been feeling tired a little and just not in the mood sexually, also have slight headaches often. Hoping its all estrogen and lowering my test will help.

E2 is real close. Target 20-30. Like spongy said, dropping t a little should get you to the ideal range all by itself. Did you test igf-1 or dhea-s?

No don't think so, did $50 female hormone panel.
I'm not sure about all the checks they did but don't see those on there.

Chip confirmed dropping down to 150mg is the way to go.
