Blood work came back I think I am scrwed.

[AliYousaf]

My blood work came just now and I think I am ****ed according to this thread which has really helped me learning a lot about blood work..
ALL you need to know about bloodwork

And this one about Estrogen & Testosterone Interpretation of Free Testosterone, Estrogen, and Total Testosterone Blood Tests

History: I am Male 34. Current weight 75Kg, height 5.7.
First cycle four months back.
Test-E only. For 12 weeks.
Hcg for 14.5 Weeks.
A-dex .25 to .5 EOD depending on effects like bloating etc.
PCT: two weeks after.
Clomid 75/50/50/50 ED
Nolva 40/20/20/20 ED.

Sides: None. Blood work came fine. ( I'll mentions previous and current readings of the blood work below)

About 3 months after cycle I developed a rotator cuff injury or may be (I had developed it earlier and noticed later) Which lead to ( as I thought ) mild joint pain specially in wrists and elbows.
This was a major motivation killer as I wasn't able to lift as heavy as I would. I thought these were only symptoms of coming off of Tes-e cycle. I don't say I lost my gains because the wait is pretty much the same but by this time I noticed fat on belly & waist area. I tried to control that through diet.. Added a little bit of cardio three four times a week. But as I said the shoulder pain had killed motivation.. I was doing everything half heartedly with low energy and stamina therefore I didnt see any progress in fat loss area. Still thought Test- e was wearing off and everything was going to get better.

About a month back I noticed the color of Urine.. It was dark like anything.. Ok no problemo I thought I must increase the intake of water.. So did.. By this time I had started B12 intramuscular injections to promote muscle recovery and aid in fatigue. I also kept on taking pretty much the same diet along with protein shakes, amino, Omega 3, Potassium, Taurine and VitD. Etc.

I didn't worry much since my labs had come fine after about six weeks of PCT..

Now few days back few threads got my attention specially the above ones and I thought of getting lab checked my Testoseron levels.
My blood reports just came..
Here is it.
I am only stating the ones which have taken a serious hike or dip.
BW CURRENT PREVIOUS. Normal range
Plate. 167. 257. 150-400
Count

WBC 7.2. 4.3. 4-11
Count.

Neutrophils. 41. 55. 40-75
Lymphocytes. 51. 36. 20-50

Cholesterol. 206. 215.
Triglyceride. 152. 74
HDL. 44. 55
LDL. 124. 137
VLDL. 30. 15
LDL/HDL. 4.7. 3.9
Ratio

Testosterone 364. 529.3
Free Test. This is however same17.9
Estradiol. 54.2. 18.

TSH. 3.28. 1.734
FREE T3 1.94. 4.17
FREE T4. 0.95. 1.21

I think I may have some kinda infection that needs to be properly checked by a physician. Damn!! But I never expected my Estradiol to hike up like this.
I'll run another Harmone panel in two days.. I am seriously thinking getting 150-250 mg of Test-e as an emergency HRT PROTOCOL For at least 8 weeks and then get on a proper cycle that I am preparing for.. Which will be Test-E 500 mg a week, Deca 200 Mg a week with HCG then getting on Test Prop 300 mg in the last 2 weeks so the PCT could be started with in 5 days..
What do you guys suggest.. Should HRT or not. ?

As mentioned earlier, Ali. We need the ranges.

I just edited the last post Austi.. Please check..

[austinite]

Triglyceride range seems wrong. You want to be under 150.

Anyway, did you get blood work prior to your cycle? What are we comparing to? Your testosterone is certainly on the lower end for your age.

Estradiol 18.

Ok. 539 seems normal for your age. So there you have it. You did not recover properly.

You really need to have your LH and FSH tested...

I'd suggest seeking professional help with a second restart. However, if you chose to do this on your own, this is what I would recommend...

Clomiphene. Dose at 50mg every Monday, Wednesday and Friday for 3 months. Then wait 4 to 6 weeks and run your blood work again.

Thanks a lot Austinite! I am on it. I'll get LH, FSH done first thing tomorrow.
50 mg Clomid is it then... Done.
So no HRT required ?? I was thinking of like having 200-250 mg a week.

Saw a consultant physician today. He says I am fine. I don't know what the problem with these people, man. He went through all the labs of mine and said I am all within the range. I didn't want to tell him I had done Test-E couple of months back so I made him look my 'before' reports. Even then he said there's nothing to worry about since I am in range. Then I had no choice telling him that I had done a cycle and came off pretty well. Now, he gave me a lecture on how bad steroids are to the ****ing bod but never said there's something wrong with me since I still am in the range. I mean what the ****s wrong with these guys. This guys is one expensive private mofo. A senior one, a member of Royal college of physicians UK. All he suggested is Ultrasound of my upper pelvic to make sure I have no infections. I am now at this lab getting my LH& FSH tested and will have the ultrasound afterwards.

I think I should start taking and did this morning 50 mg Clomid. Since this mofo won't suggest any thing to me.

Shouldn't have told the dr you did aas. Unless he saw you personally inject yourself you always have a choice. Even then, you could say it was water. Never admit it unless youre dying and it will save you to admit it. Hopefully it won't make it into your file.

[Back In Black]

NHS only treat within range. Even if you were 1 point in range you'd have a job convincing them to do anything. You will likely have to self medicate and yes, this will now be on your permanent record.

[AliYousaf]

Thanks for your concern bros.. But it's alright there's no such routine that I am aware of. They don't keep records here.. I mean, one can get all roids here OTC. Good thing is not much people know how to do it.
So I am kinda safe here. But hey thanks anyways.. I'll keep that I mind when I am traveling.

Hi Austi.. I am back.. A little late but I am..

I got my testosterone & Estradiol checked again and guess what.. It came down even further.

Testosterone== 285.. And I believe that doc of mine would sayi I am still in range since its not below 246 yet. What a mofo.
Estradiol 19.1 ..

I got my LH & FSH tested as you suggested.
LH == 4.66. Normal Range == 0.6 - 12.1

FSH == 2.56 Normal Range == 0.95 - 11.95.

I am taking 50 Mg clomid. SUNDAY TUESDAY THURSDAY.
Is their any diet plan that I should follow or that might help to up my test levels...

wow, how horrible and disappointing it is to know that doctors are obligated by law to let people suffer this way. it just pisses me right off.

Austinite, what if i were to go to a free clinic and hook my self up with a doc for blood tests... [i plan to try it this weekend. I want to see if i'm recovered from my last cycle] could i tell that doc i do over the counter AAS regularly? Could i be so bold as to tell that doc in more tactful language than this, "i don't care what you say, i'm going to keep doing this shit. you can either help me or **** off"

not entirely stupid idea, misguided idea, or bad idea?

i'm not impressed by a lot of doctors. most are just regular men and women who've had the privilege of getting a good education.

No such thing as over the counter AAS. Never discuss AAS use with doctors, ever.

If you had any idea how difficult med school is, you'd be impressed with doctors. Anyway..

Why Not just use private MD labs?

because there aren't any on Oahu, :' ( i dont know what to doo. i totally checked

I'm just glad my stupid questions aren't stupid mistakes. so assuming i have to go to this clinic, do i just tell the doc that i haven't been feeling myself lately and then ask to see the results in case i want a second opinion?

do i tell'em I've been depressed; i stopped going out with my friends; my erections aren't hard anymore; and that my semen volume is close to zilch

that's all for the most part BS, by the way. i just want the correct tests ran.

can i request specific tests? i'd rather do that

Not nice to call doctors names

Ok. LH is not disastrous but certainly a lot of room for improvement. FSH is in the gutter really. But if we can get LH stronger, it will help spermatogenesis because testosterone and FSH are both required to stimulate sertoli cells into production.

Don't see a range for estradiol so I can't comment on that.

Clomid therapy should help you. Keep that schedule steady and if the studies prove anything, you should be in much better shape.

Good luck.

Alright. Estradiol is not bad. Somewhere between 25 and 35 would probably have you feeling better. Which should go up a bit when your testosterone goes up.

Keep a log of any blood work you get, and send me a private message to check this thread (only when new blood work). I want to see you succeed.

Hey Austi I am back
A quick recap of the situation to save you time; First ever 12 weekTest-E only cycle,few months back.Hcg for 14.5 Weeks.A-dex .25 to .5 EOD depending on effects like bloating etc and PCT: two weeks after. Clomid 75/50/50/50 ED Nolva 40/20/20/20 ED. No sides effects and blood work came fine after words.
A couple weeks after the successful PCT another Lab was run and it was terrible.

OK, here I am with latest labs. My Testosterone level has improved a little but I am not still not close to where I was before the cycle. But the thing that worries me much is my LH and FSH. Its has gotten even worse according to the labs.

Readings from three months back:
LH == 4.66. Normal Range == 0.6 - 12.1
FSH == 2.56 Normal Range == 0.95 - 11.95.

Latest reading:
LH == 2.22. Normal Range == 0.6 - 12.1
FSH == 1.86 Normal Range == 0.95 - 11.95.

Thanks.

My latest labs says my Estradiol is 25.8, Total Test 432 and Free Test 16.9. Have low LH & FSH as you can see in the above thread.
I am currently on Clomid 50 mg. thrice a week ( Friday, Sunday, Tuesday).
I am working on my second cycle. This time I am thinking of low Test-E, dosage with HCG 250 iu and adex.
I admit this cycle is only happening out of desperation. I have gained a few pounds of belly fat and have been loosing muscle too and it only happened after a successful cycle but an unsuccessful PCT and I am not even sure how? I did everything by the book.
Anyways. I am back on the jogging track for an hour cardio daily before hitting the gym. In a month or two,I am hoping, will be the right time to get started with something like
250 mg of Test-E a week for 10 weeks.
250 iu HCG every third day
And adex .25 to .5 depending on the need.
T3 Cytomel daily from the week 6th till the end of the cycle.
I am only looking to loose fat and retain the muscle with this cycle. Off course my diet and cardio will be in check.
I am open to any suggestions.

I am still on it. I am taking 50 mg ED now and will switch back to EOD in a week. I have also increased cardio and doing it every day. Cardio is for the fat I gained since my last cycle around the waiste. I 'll get my new labs by the end of this month and update further. But with this Clomid ED 50 mg a day is good I can feel it. I am feeling much better now. But let's wait for the blood work and I'll be able to tell something solid.
