Blood test results pre cycle, high Testosterone?

**Armsbrah25** · 12-05-2013, 01:21 PM

Got my bloodtest results back today:

Testosterone 12.0 ng/ml *Reference Range: 2.5-10.0*
Estradiol 56.0 pg/ml *Reference Range: Men<62*

How can i have 20% more test than the max reference range?
Is this unusual? I'm planning on starting my first cycle in a few days.

my advice is don't screw it up. you have a great genes and if I were you I will not disturb it. what's the range in your E2? it seems high, you can lower that by supplementing and get your test even higher, at least your free test.

Don't waste money on a cycle. Love what you got so use it to your advantage.

How accurate are these tests usually? I started taking finasteride for hairloss around 2 months ago, does that interfere with the results?
I was quite shocked at the results to be honest cause ive always felt that i gained muscle at a slower pace compared to my friends even though my nutrition and training was always better than theirs!

So ive decided to leave the cycle out and continue naturally

. You say i can even raise my testosterone higher by lowering my estrogen? What supplements do i need to use and at what doses to achieve that?

thanks

wise decision. Zinc and DIM to lower estrogen, you don't need much since its not that high. I'd also supplement wit vitamin D3, but its wise to do it based on BW.
