E2 finally dialed in

[bullshark99]

Had a mini panel done, E2 has been all over the place these last 3-4 months as low as 5.7 and as high as 48 (7.6-42.6). 200 mgs of T per wk with HcG 500iu's twice, Finally after 6-7 weeks of .5 Anas M-W-F, E2 came in at 21.3, nice to finally be stable here. Total T was 811 and Free was 16.9 (6.8-21.5). This was all on day 6, so Im pleased, I would imagine I may be a litle inflated if the draw was on day 2, which I will do next time.
PSA 1.6, I'm comfortable here, thats always been about my baseline, PSA free .45 and %free PSA 28.1 Dont really understand the free and %, maybe someone can chime in here and explain????

CBC with differential/platelet, all 20 of them in normal range, solid too, none are borderline.

Sounds like you got a Doc that knows his stuff!

PSA Free and % is use to calculate the risk of having Prostrate Cancer in light of "normal" PSA panels.

Most Docs don't order it...but the astute ones do!

Here's a good read for all you guys:

Congrats Bull! Nice find gd.

[bass]

good for you Bull! little surprised though at 200 mgs along with hCG you're mid range on your test levels!

[bullshark99]

gd, as usual always something of quality to add, thanks, Ill be in your neck of the woods in a couple weeks, looking forward!

Kel, JPK, thanks for the acknowledgement, again appreciated.

Bass, been thinking now for prob 6 months of lowering my T intake, I realize 200 with HcG is top end and always wondering if long term this is wise???? Must admit, along with you I am a litle surprised my levels were not a litle higher?? Funny thing is the last panel I had done 3 months ago or so was also on day 6 and the Free was identical and the Total T was within 50pts of now. I think I will pull on day 2 next time to make sure I'm not too superfiical, at least I know my body is pretty consistent in how it processes the T.

Oh and JPK, yeah feel pretty good, this is the most stress ive had to deal with at work in 20 yrs now so have my good days and bad ones so its hard to tell?? Hope your recovery is going good?

do you know what your SHBG is? based on my latest BW i just posted few days ago, i was on 105 mgs ew, was doing 30 mgs eod along with 250 iu hCG eod in between, no AI, my e2 was at 90 plus on scale 7-42, so just imagine if my e2 is lower my test will get even higher. i am assuming you're doing once a week IM, if so have you considered SQ?

[Times Roman]

were you experiencing any sides with your E2 all over the place?

Feel bbetter now that it's been stabilized?

[bullshark99]

TR, sides I was getting when high, was a litle emotional, would actually get tears in my eyes out of nowhere, nothing that wasnt controllable. On the flip side when low, severe case od ED. Without levetra, wouldnt of mattered if Kate Upton was strutting around begging for it from me, wasnt gonna happen (what a shame that would be!) Do feel better now, just need to control the stress Im under better.

bass, I have a baseline SHBG, but not one from this lab. Yes I do IM, I hate the pinning, thats why I do it only once a week. Have considered SQ but btween the 2 shots of HcG and also 2 more from some amino acid/vitimin blend (4 shots total per week) I have all sorts of lumps on my stomach. They always go away but too many pins. Ive spoken with Kel about the shoulder, they are actually gonna show me how to do this when I go to Florida in 2 weeks for my checkup.

You should get your triglycerides & LDL cholesterol checked. I bet both will be high.

[bullshark99]

Gladly take that action, LDL 92, HDL 56 , ratio 2.8 and Tri's were 66. last time around.
