6 weeks on trt blood test results

[Mario L]

My first set of labs 6 weeks into trt. Look pretty good from what I can tell. I was not completely fasting,had a coffee w/2 splendas and light cream and a single serve protein shake. So I believe my lipid panel is inaccurate. E2 is a little higher than I'd like. Going to start with adex, i'm thinking .25mg day after shots. I am currently on 60mg T cyp E3.5 and 250iu hcg E3.5 days before cyp shots. What do you all think. Thanks.

i can barley read the attachments! but yea everything looks great from what i can see! your e2 is mid range not too bad!

[Vettester]

^^ Agree with Bass on the E2. Your Adex dosage sounds pretty good for continued maintenance. You could be right about the lack of fasting affecting your lipid profile, but, it was also noted high on your previous report (LDL and Total Chol). It would be good to know for sure where you sit on that.

[Brohim]

what are your serum and free test #'s. Can't read them

And when was your blood drawn before your shot or after?

[Mario L]

Total 899 348-1196 range
Free 23.91 5-21 range
%free 2.66 1.5-4.2 range
E2 38 3-70 range

Test 2 days after shot 1 day before next shot.

Does anyone know whats up with the bun/creatinine ratio? Is just a little high ok?

Your peaking from the 1st shot and possibly why E2 slightly elevated.

%Free is damn near perfect

Looks good. I agree E is a little high but not to bad. Try .25 Adex and see. More importantly how do you feel before/after therapy?

You shoot HCG the same day as test?

Could be from dehydration, you stated that you drank coffee w/ splenda and a protein shake before the test, caffeine can cause dehydration BUN relates to kidney function.
The ratio is not way out of range but should be checked again, very important to be fasting as results can be skewed easily. I would watch the cholesterol though add some healthy fats almonds, olive oil and cut down on the animal fats. Also check your proteins, shake bars etc. some of them are high in cholesterol
I take milk thistle to protect the liver per my DR.

Hcg day before. Feel great. Much better than at low 300's which I was. Mental clarity. Slight case of social anxiety gone. I hope to see my lipids improve my diet is in complete check.

[zaggahamma]

in that case i wouldnt change a thing atm

other than like vette stated...eyeball your lipids and quit having buffets for breakfast on the way in to test geez

[Brohim]

quit having buffets for breakfast on the way in to test geez

haha

[Mario L]

haha. Haven't had a breakfast buffet in a while. I can do some serious damage to that buffet though.

[Mario L]

So does anyone think that because my e2 is not that high .50mg twice a week will lower it enough.

[brazilian86]

Should be fine

.50MG TWICE A WEEK OF WHAT?????? WILL LOWER IT?


and thats why me and brohim tried asking MORE IMPORTANTLY THAN THE NUMBER/LEVEL HOW DO YOU FEEL

[Mario L]

.50 of adex. I feel great. But would like to get the e2 to where I was at pre-trt which was 24. How do I know if I won't feel even better than I do now with a lower e2

always a dilemma the "maybe i'll feel better......IF......." ok...i get it now....dont get it too low bro..i PROMISE you wont like it

[ecdysone]

Don't screw with the E2, forget about the BUN, but work on the LDL.

(my 2 cents).
