GD's BW - Have at it boys!

Ok, so I got a very comprehensive blood work done and labs today. I am not going to print out everything here like all CBC and General Chem assays as they were all in the mid to optimal range and really don't impact out TRT protocols. I am sharing what I believe is the most relevant assays for your review and input. I have some general observations below as well.

CBC
Hematocrit 46.2 Range: % 38.5 - 54.0

General Chem
Albumin 4.8 Range: g/dl 3.2 - 4.8

Coronary Risk
Triglycerides 110 Range: mg/dl <150
CHOL, Total 191 Range: mg/dl <200
HDL 70 Range: mg/dl >40
LDL 88 Range: mg/dl <100
CHOL/HDL Ratio 2.7 Range: <5.0
Homocysteine 8.5 Range: umol/L 4.5 - 15

Thyroid
TSH 1.15 Range: uIU/ml 0.27 - 4.2
T4, Free 1.32 Range: ng/dl 0.9 - 1.7
T3, Free 3.6 Range: pg/ml 1.8 - 4.6

Tumor Marker
PSA, Total 0.78 Range: ng/dl 0.0 - 4.0

Endocrine Evaluation
Progesterone 0.92 Range: ng/ml 0.2 - 1.4
Estradiol 21.3 Range: pg/ml 7.6 - 42.6 (Sensitive)
DHEA-S 228.5 Range: ug/dl 44.3 - 331.0
DHT 47.72 Range: ng/dl 11.2 - 95.5
Test, Total 1133 Range: ng/dl 280 - 1100
Test, Free 30.50 Range: ng/dl 1.6 - 22
Test, % Free 26.2 Range: ng/dL = 2.53 %
Test, Bioavailble 681 Range: ng/dL = 66 %
SHBG 26 Range: nmol/L 10 - 80
IGF-1 195 Range: ng/ml 87 - 238
Cortisol 16.1 Range: ug/dl 4.3 - 22.4

My Observations: Pretty much what I expected. I don't pay much attention to Total Test at this point. What is important are the two test assays highlighted in green. Test % Free - 2.53 is spot on as is Bioavailable. E2 is damn near perfect as well. I would like to see DHT near the higher end of the reference range and may trial some DHT cream to see what it does. It should be higher in my opinion with where the Test panels are falling. This is the first time we tested for it so I have no bench mark but I have suspect it was low.

Thyroid looks healthy and converting T4 to T3 nicely.

I've been dialed in for some time now but it all looks pretty solid to me and is pretty consistent with past labs.

Let me know your thoughts Gents and if you want to see any other assay; but as i said, they are all within the normal reference range.

Thanks guys!
