Simple blood test questions.

[Wizeguy]

I am currently taking Lamisil for a nail fungus and the doctor gave me blood test sheet to take to the lab to check my Hepatic function. So i took the liberty and checked off the "Testosterone" and "cholesterol" boxes. It was hard to decifer the medical lingo to figure out what else needed to be checked off so I could have a decent blood panel done for myself.
Here are the reults:
Hepatic function: everything ok except Bilirubin direct, it was 0.0 in a range of 0.1-0.5

Cholesterol was 218
(unfortunatly I didnt check off HDL, LDL to see what those were.)

Testosterone Free was .42in a range of .32-.50
Testosterone Total was 286 in a range of 241-827

I have been off of my 1st cycle for 11 weeks.
the first cycle was
1-5 TestC 250mg
1-5 Deca 200mg
6-12 testC 500mg
6-11 Deca 200mg
HCG 14-16
clomid 14-17
Nolva 14-17

A very moderate to low dose first cycle.
My Testosterone before I started was 568
Now, I know this test is not a complete picture but it looks like my Test has dropped quite a bit and my cholesterol is a bit high. But has always been around or over 200 in previouse tests. I would have thought that I would be completely recovered by now. I was hopping to start my next cycle Jan 1 .
Does the lower test mean that I'm not recovered?

Im: 35
5'9"

At 11 weeks post, your body should be close to fully recovered.

Before thinking that this is a permanent situation, perhaps you might wait another 4 weeks and get another test.

It isn't uncommon for guys past their 20s to have a more difficult time getting back to baseline, especially if they haven't cycled before.

Maybe this could be a case for you to go on permanent HRT? Just a thought...

I was thinking the same. My previouse cycle was nothing out of ordinary, I wondered if I did some damage and HRT is now called for. My libido has been pretty dead since coming off and now I know why.
