Blood was fasting taken at 0830.

Estrogen does not give me a range like the rest of them dont know why.
Panels are on the left and ranges are on the right. I know my LH and FSH are bad, can someone shed some light on this for me. RBC seems high, should i go donate some blood. I thought my test would be higher than 449 but free test seems to be ok i think. Estrogen is scaring me a bit. I started HCG a week ago also as per DR Crislers protocol for Gel users. Thanks for any feedback.

Thyroid looks fine with what is presented here. T3 % uptake is nice and what you'd want to see.

DHT: 11 Range 10-50
Well you don't covert to DHT very well on a transdermal...and that's ok.

CBC
WBC: 5.2 Range 3.8-10.8
RBC: 5.31 Range 4.20-5.80
HEMATOCRIT: 49.1 Range 38.5-50.0
Give blood every month or so...

FSH: <0.7L Range 1.6-8.0
LH: <0.2L Range 1.5-9.3
These are tanked because you are in HPTA shutdown due to exogenous testosterone. Normal...

PROLACTIN: 4.3 Range 2.0-18.0
CORTISOL: 9.5 Range 4.0-22.0
These are fine...

TESTOSTERONE TOTAL: 449 Range 250-1100
Low given your dosage, you may want to increase your dosage and try to get closer to 800. You may not absorb well as indicated by your low DHT which I'd would think should be higher if you were...something to talk to your Doctor about.

FREE TESTOSTERONE: 112.3 Range 35.0-155.0
This looks fine but given your low total is not what you want.

ESTRADIOL ULTRA SENSITIVE: 75 H < OR = 29 PG/ML WTF IS THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!
Your converting your Testosterone into Estradiol and another reason why your total may be so low. You must not be taking an AI or it would be lower increasing your Total and Free as well.

You got some adjusting to do with your Doc; plus I'd like to see more panels. Read the sticky on how to find a TRT Doc and you will see the recommended list of panels suggested for follow up labs.

On second thought, read all the stickies and you will know why LH and FSH are where they are at...

Doesn't it say the range for Estrogen is 0-29??

It must be a typo on the report. I looked a few times.

I read the stickies, these are the panels it says to have done for follow up labs. What am i missing, i copied and pasted the labs i needed straight to a sheet of paper i brought to the doc. I have 4 pages of BW.

Did you get:

Progesterone
SHBG
Albumin
Cholesterol

[Ricci82]

I asked for all the labs from that sticky, Looked over than again and only found Lipids. I have the report in front of me and its says all you listed above but they are not on my BW. Lipids was my fault, overlooked it.

LIPIDS:
TC: 162 MG/DL
HDL:35 MG/DL
TRG:266MG/DL
LDL: 74 MG/DL
NON HDL: 127 MG/DL
TC/HDL: 4.6 MG/DL
ALT:27 U/L
AST:31 U/L
AST/ALT:1.2
