    4 weeks in with new BW advice please

    Starting BW

    Testostron 207 nd/dl (348-1197)
    Free T 5.7 pg/ml (6.8 - 21.5)
    LH 4.5 miu/ml (1.6 - 8.6)
    Estradiol 17.8 pg/ml (7.6 - 42.6)
    shbg 29.2 nmol/l (16.5 - 55.9)
    Cortisol 19.5 ug/dl (2.3 - 19.4)


    (going into 5th week of TRT)

    Protocal
    150 mg test at 1 shot per week
    .500 hcg 1 shot per week
    AI .5 mg twice per week.

    Started AI on the 3rd week. First dose increase in wood. Second dose loosing wood. 3rd dose wood almost gone. 4th dose no wood at all.

    So after 4 doses of AI at a total of 2 mgs. over two weeks no wood. I stoped taking and know have wood all day. On the day I took my 4th dose I went to get blood work and here is what came back. Trying to figure out if I should take smaller doses or not at all. Also some BW came back high and I don't know what it means if ou gu's can help.

    New BW

    Testostrone 821 nd/dl (348-1197)
    Free T 20.1 pg/ml (6.8 - 21.5)
    Estradiol 19 pg/ml (7.6 - 42.6)

    This is what came back high:

    RBC 5.82 (4.10 - 5.60)
    Hemoglobin 17.8 (12.5 - 17)
    Hematocrit 52.7 (36-50)

    cholesterol total = 249
    Trig. 273
    HDL 36
    VLDL 55
    ldl 158

    Should I be worried about these high numbers? And if so how can I reduce them?

    Thanks Guys

    BTW BW was drawn on Thursday and my last pin was on Saturday before.

    yes you should be worried about the high numbers, you need to donate blood ASAP, do this as often as they allow you to do it. also drink at least one gallon watter a day.

    your lipid is bad, need to take fish oil and eat about one ounce/28 grams of dark chocolate ed to improve your cholesterol.

    2 mgs AI is way too much for you dose, if i were you I'd split my dose to 75 mgs twice a week and take 0.5 mg AI 12-24 hours after every shot.

    your cortisol is high but i'll let the more experienced chime in on that.

    The 2 mgs was total for two weeks, the actual dose was .5 mgs twice per week.

    When you say donate asap, am I in some danger as we speak?

    not in the short run, but if they stay high for along period of time you are at risk for a heart attack or stroke.

    If that isn't enough motivation here is some more: no strenous sex until after you donate

    those elevated numbers are to be dealt with, although they are not entirely unusual.

    you can donate blood, lower the dose of testosterone , or possibly just talk to your doctor about other things. you do need to do something though and it will likely be a continuous issue.

    Yep, donate blood number one ASAP. Whats up with your lipid panel?? Has it always been out of range? Your BF% or diet off? LDL way too high as Tri's and HDL too low. Your Chol/HDL ratio is not pretty right now.

    Make sure you donate your blood NOW. What is your body fat? Did you fast before this test?
    I am surprised your doc did not recommend this to you. Also take the advise to split injections
    I did and I am glad
