HELP with bloods please

**dandiamondwhite** · 03-06-2013, 03:19 PM

Had some repeat tests after finishing a cycle
In January everything is in the normal range now but I calculated my free test is around 23.5 ng/DL is this ok? Also should I finish another pct to get to "optimum levels"

Two weeks ago results were;
FSH - 4.7
LH - 3.5
SERUM TEST - 4.14

Results as of Monday are;
FSH - 7.2
LH - 9.0
SERUM TEST - 8.0
Free androgen index - 41%
SHBG - 19.5

I'm 21 years old, advice anyone ?

How many cycles have you ran?

**dandiamondwhite** · 03-06-2013, 04:58 PM

About 7 since 2009 some competition prep cycles the others lean mass

Actually 23 ng/dl is even high out if range. What do u mean you calculated it? Are u still on pct? When was Bloodwork done in regards to pct

**dandiamondwhite** · 03-06-2013, 05:54 PM

There was a link on a webpage I found where you use a formula of your other results to calculate your free test.
Bit annoying the docs won't check for just free testosterone they have to do full serum count.

I finished the cycle in January had 3 shots of hcg (1500iu) started clomid but lost my
House, so pct was cut short. Obviously that's where the problems began.

Since the last tests 4 weeks ago I have ran tribulus at a very high dose coupled with aromasin 20mg per day

**OnTheSauce** · 03-06-2013, 09:36 PM

Way are u taking aromasin ?

Tribulus is garbage and won't do a damn thing for you. Aromasin at 20mg daily is more than double the recommended dose for a real cycle.

What are you trying to do??????

Are you sure that 23 is not measured in nmol/L?

23nmol/L is = to about 644 ng/dl which is low for a 21 year old. Typically, a healthy 21 year old would be around 30nmol/L or 900ng/dl.

But, youre not in the basement either. Both your sex hormones are working, yet rising.

No disrespect to any of the fellas in here right now, but I would maybe post this in the HRT Forum or perhaps an HRT Specialist will drop in here and provide some info as well. Just a suggestion..

Sorry I was a bit unclear about how I have done the aromasin . Bloods were on Monday I started the aromasin Friday because I needed to run hcg to boost lh and prepare for clomid.

I found some studies of aromasin boosting testosterone and lowering shbg (this would result in more free test)
I need to run it high as I am running hcg at a high dose.

And I am sure the tribulus contributed to my test results raising so dramatically.

Mikey I will look into the test measurement and find a link to the calculator
