HRT Blood Test result

**BigLittleTim** · 02-18-2009, 01:36 PM

Gentlemen,

Recent test results since on HRT:

Total Testosterone : 53.74
Free Testosterone: 207.97
Free Test %: 3.87
Estradiol: 121

What does this mean?
How can my Total Testosterone be so LOW while my FREE Testosterone is relatively GOOD?

Should I be happy or irate? Thanks for your help and shared experience.

Yours,

BigLittleTim

hey tim,

what's your TRT protocol (dosage and schedule)? and do you have have ranges?

also, what day and time did you draw blood in relation to your shot day(s).

**XNathan** · 02-18-2009, 01:52 PM

Total testosterone nmol/l or ng/dl?

**CrazyCrew** · 02-18-2009, 01:53 PM

Wow, thats messed up. Must be a mistake in the labs. With E2 levels that high you must be feeling like crap too. What are the ranges from the lab?

I had bloodwork done five days after my injection of the above.

I'm relatively new to HRT and TRT, but deca doesn't seem like it would be the best option, due to it's suppressive nature. Plus, deca dose seems high compared to test dose.

My current protocol is to give myself 375mg. Test Cyp and 300mg. Deca per week.
This is from an UGL, as my official HRT script is still 50mg. Test Cyp. per week.

just to confirm, you're taking 375mg. Test Cyp and 300mg. Deca per week? if this is correct, something is way off with those numbers. you might be missing a "20" in front of your TT making it "2053.74"

any measurement is useless without ranges/limits. your doc has the ranges.

Thanks for now...

i kind of thought he was missing a few digits for the TT.

is he providing ranges? measurements are useless without them.

did your doc put you on that protocol or are you supplimenting? your protocol is a cycle, not TRT.

how do you feel and do you have any symptoms?

**muscle74** · 03-04-2009, 09:48 PM

Keep us posted on what your DR does with your "cycle." Were your dosages changed?
I myself just started HRT 6wks ago, previous yrs of gear use has my hormones upside down.
