BW and Update

[Beethoven]

Went for my BW at eight weeks and these are the results.

Red blood count. 7.38. Range 4.20-5.80
Hematocrit. 52.3 Range 38.5-50.0
MCV. 70.8. Range 80.0-100.0
MCH. 22.3. Range. 27.0-33.0
MCHC. 31.5. Range. 32.0-36.0
Estradiol. 60. Range. < or = 39

Test. 619. Range 241-827

Protocol is 100 mgs test Cyp weekly, HCG

Course of action, script for blood pleb, anastrozole .05 mgs every 3 days. The estradiol was not sensitive assay and the anastrozole maybe a little high?

I was about the same and .5mg arimidex twice weekly (day after my test injections) put me in the mid 20's. You can start with .25mg every 3.5 days and see how it goes, then adjust in another 6-8 weeks based on blood work.

How long does the anastrozole take to work? I'm set to do follow up BW in four weeks.

Just found out that most blood banks you donate at take prescribed blood phlebotamy's from doctor to lower iron and blood levels. Only difference is that it is free and not put through insurance. Just a FYI. All they need from the doctor is the prescription with reason, desired level to be at and how often they want it done. You can go every week at the donation site if the doctors says to.

It starts to work immediately and is strong as h3ll, start on very low dose and tiltrate up if needed based on blood work. .25 twice per week is a pretty strong dose for trt. But I would say is what most people start with.

What lab is this with that range?
Injecting once per week or twice?
Too much adex. Go with .25. Slow and steady. It works immediately.
Re-test E in a month. No fasting needed.

Injecting once a week HCG the day before. The testing lab is Quest. Doc wants a re test in a month. Thanks Kel.

On a once per week protocol consider doing your HCG both one and two days before injection.
