This week I decided to finally have some labs done. With 2-3 cycles under my belt I knew I was still not doing it correctly. I had never used an AI due to ignorance and the fact of no side effects - other than acne on shoulders and upper chest and back.
The labs were from this local first stop urgent care clinic. With me having no insurance I figured 4 labs for 63 bucks wasn't too bad.
The 4 labs I requested were the basic test I read on a sticky in the TRY forum.
Testosterone. Estrogen, Dhea and Thyroid
The the test results are as follows:
TAH. value = 1.14. Range (.03-4.5)
Total free testosterone: value= 5.30. (The reference range 2.62-15.90)
Hemp global a1C 4.4%. < 6.5 (I do not understand this one!) As no low end of a reference range?
Estrogen: my value * 861 * ( I kid u not.... I an on scanning and placing it for proof! The reference range was (as I recall. ) were 118.
I AM FREAKING OUT FELLAS! (Please excuse my grammar errors as I have not been able to sleep!
The doctor called me yesterday and said the following and I quote " you need to stop with the steroids and stop taking any supplement!" I have NOT had a drop of test in exactly 5 weeks. I then proceeded to tell her I don't take sups. I take amino acids like Bcaa's (L-Argini e, L-Carnatine, Milk Thistle, injectable B complex ( told her oral :-)) Flaxseed, L-Glutamine. Etc....
Again I stated that doesn't she view my levels on the low end? (Ref range 2.62-15.90 my value = (5.3) !!!!!!
I'm pissed!
Well I have a free consultation at a true HRT / TRT. At 10:30 in the am.
Any words of wisdom as what to say and or act? I mean I'm not going there to obtain narcotics or some crap like that.
Oh...last thing...I told my female doctor that I have been depressed and emotional and restless as hell! Also just broke up with my girlfriend of 2 yrs. I finally gave in on my second visit with her and said sure it might help for a couple weeks or whatever.
Wouldn't regulating my test / E2 levels be the best way to over come that???
Fellas IM GETTING PISSED AND CLOSE TO GIVINg up! I don't need sympathy BUT could us some encouragement !
Thanks for listening N sorry for the Looonnnggg post.
Take care everyone
