is that all the test you ran? if you done more tests post all of it with ranges.

what is your complete protocol?

your E2 needs to come down a little, and you need to donate blood ASAP before its gets too high to the point of getting rejected by the blood drives. long term high RBC, Hemoglobin and hematocrit are very dangerous. need to donate as often as they allow, which is every two months. BTW, did you have a question or you just sharing?

[Vettester]

I agree with bass. Curious if you've added a little AI to the protocol.

Please, give us some input with your program, stats, concerns, pros & cons that you perceive with HRT, etc. We're here to help, if you don't tell us much, we can't tell you much. HRT is a lifetime thing, so an hour or two invested at this place will be well worth the price.

[bad427]

Yep , they want me to donate ASAP. I guess my question is, are these results typical. I screwed my back up about the time I started. I mainly am wanting better results lifting and chasing momma around!! The latter is definitely working!

What is AI

[Hackamaniac]

What is AI

Aromatase inhibitor.. Used to lower estrogen levels.

[Vettester]

AI is Aromatase Inhibitors, which are used to control your estrogen (E2) level. Your TRT ends up converting downstream to estrogen. Too much conversion is not a good thing. I don't think you're in a majorly bad place on your E2, but optimal would probably be somewhere in the 20's, maybe low 30's based on that assay range. Read up on a compound called Arimidex , you will get a better understanding of how it works.

Your free test is 2.14%, which a healthy range is 2% to 3%. I would imagine your vitamin D is low, and by supplementing it properly you would more than likely take your free test up a little as well. The contributing factor with vitamin D is that it helps lower SHBG, which is also another panel you should keep an eye on. Refer to the "Finding a TRT physician" sticky for more lab information to focus on.
