bloodwork 1 month after pct, 2 months after cycle

[notauser]

my liver values all dropped a little.. is this good or bad? still somewhere in the middle of the range though

cholesterol went up a bit but still low, just that HDL is only slightly above the benchmark.

my LH levels were 12 times my previous result and more than 4 times high range..
test was twice my previous score and now slightly above the normal range.
estrogen about 4 times previous reading but within range as well.

is this supposed to happen 1 month after you end pct? (has been 2 months since cycle ended)

sounds good mate, id be more worried if they were low

sound like you should have waited longer for blood work. i dont feel that is 100% accurate.. also post up the real number. a little here and a little there could equal something else were.

[notauser]

ok here they are

test type - pre cycle reading - current reading - range
bilirubin - 21 - 15 - (0 - 26 umol/L)
alk phophatase - 73 - 70 - (35-120 U/L)
SGOT/AST - 31 - 22 - (0-40 U/L)
SGPT/ALT - 32 - 25 - (3-40 U/L)
GGT - 16 - 11 - (0-50 U/L)

LH - 3.41 - 43.34 - (1.5 - 9.3 IU/L)
Estradiol - <37 (too low to count??) - 126 - (0 - 191 pmol/L)
Test - 16.7 - 31.2 - (8.4 - 28.7 nmol/L)

cholesterol 2.89 mmol/L or 112.7 mg/dL -----> right now 3.06 and 119.3
triglycerides 0.46 mml/L or 40.8 mg/dL --> right now 0.53 and 47
HDL 1.2 mmol/L or 46.8 mg/dL --> right now 1.04 and 40.6
LDL 1.48mmol/L or 57.7 mg/dL --> right now 1.78 and 69.4

no one else has HCG elevate LH levels for 2 months?

I may be mistaken but I don't think hCG causes your LH levels to be elevated on your blood work, because it's not actual LH. Possibly your test levels were low and your pituitary produced LH in overdrive to fix the problem (which it looks like it did).

[notauser]

hmm good point.. i might be getting a pregnancy test kit to see if i still have hcg in my blood, which is my concern. they can't fault me for having naturally high LH levels..

[J*U*icEd]

just to let you know HCG wouldn't be affecting ur levels if you did PCT a month ago... it's half-life is much much shorter then that... half-life is less then a week

[notauser]

around start of november i had 7 shots of hcg daily at 500 iu.. followed with clomid.. clomid ended first few days of december.

could clomid be the cause? i just can't understand why it is nearly 5 times normal range... and it worries me to know that i might test positive

[vitor]

Any anti-estrogen will incrase your testosterone and LH levels above normal, 5 times normal range is pretty exstreme though...Especially when you have been off the anti-e for a few weeks...

[Coop77]

This sort of thing is why it's good to have a doctor you can be open with.

[notauser]

yes i thought 5 times above was pretty extreme for being off pct for a month..
