Blood Work Results - Am I ready to start another cycle?

[quinnbaylor]

Finished my last Test cycle back in early Jan (10 weeks cycle) and I'm thinking about starting my next Test cycle in a week or so. Got BW to see it my body was ready. Thoughts?

Thanks, in advance, for any advice/help!

How long did you fast prior to BW? I ask due to your glucose level.
Creatinine is fine. Working out, muscular damage will cause elevated levels.
Keep an eye on your thyroid. That's an old scale for TSH (new is .3 - 3.0) and anything over 2 should be watched. With that in mind elevated TSH and low (er) T4 can be indicative of hypothyroidism.
Nice IGF-1 level
E2 up there a bit.

How long have you been done serms? You may still be hyper-stimulated a bit....

Agree with all Kel said^^^

Why no LH and FSH?

Were you fasted??

When did you finish PCT?

[quinnbaylor]

I'm on 3.6ius of HGH, which speaks to the IGF level. I fasted about 10 hrs. Did BW first thing in the AM. I took some T4 (100 mcg daily) during March but it made me constipated. Stopped the T4. Not sure why my E2 is up. Should I have done my arimidex through PCT?

What do LH and FSH measure? I finished PCT in the end of January.

Normally guys stop the AI's when pct starts but some will need to use a minimum amount a bit longer. It's about learning your body and what you need. Re your glucose you need to keep an eye on this and get it down. It's borderline pre-diabetic level, even though it's only one singular test. Also get a full thyroid panel next time for a better evaluation.

Luteinizing hormone (LH) and Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) eminate from your pituitary gland and signal the testies to begin production of testosterone (LH) and Sperm (FSH.) When your pituitary stops or greatly reduces these signals then you become secondary hypogonadal.

Looks good to me. Hct fine, cholestrol fine, test fine. No LH or FSH there but i guess they are alrigth with that high test of yours. Whats your fat%. With that much test around and 25%+ it could be the answer to elevated e2. Talking from personal experience.

[quinnbaylor]

My BF is around 15%.

Is it worth getting a thyroid panel before starting my next cycle?

What's the best way to lower glucose levels? Cut simple carbs?

[quinnbaylor]

And a big "Thank You" to everyone who has contributed to this thread. I really appreciate it

It's always good to get BW pre-cycle. Carbs, sugar, etc. Google "Foods to Lower Glucose" and a ton of stuff will come up I'm sure.

Is it worth trying the T4 again? Maybe upping the dose to 200 mcg?

What for? Do you have hypothyroidism?

Kelkel pointed out that with elevated TSH and a lower T4, I might be trending towards hypothyroidism. Also read that T4 should be taken along side HGH. I stopped because it made me constipated, but maybe I was taking too low of a dose??
