Updated lab results - had a surprise

[samwalt]

Ok, so after one set of tests, I got some others for baseline, and was surprised by the estrogen, which changes things I guess.


Total T - 610 - 292-1052 ng/dl

Free T - 7.5 - 4.8- 25 ng/dl

shbd - 73 - 16-94 nmol/l

tsh - 3.5 - .4-4.7 uiu/ml

dhea - 284 - 240-549 ug/dl


here's the 3 new one's

cortisol am 13.3 - 2.3 - 19.4 ug/dl

progesterone 1 - .2 - 1.4 ng/ml

Estradiol- Roche method 40.6 - 7.6 - 42.6 pg/ml


I had been running a little hgh (6 months total) 2 months ago, but not taking anything now.

After the first batch, I was expecting something underneath them all, then I found the estrogen.

How would you handle this?

Do you have symptoms?

What are you taking right now?

To be blunt, your TSH stands out to me more than your E2.

It's not out of range. How do you feel? You need estogen just not to much. To low is just as bad as to much.

I feel decent. I'm in good shape 195 lb, 8-10% bf.
I have the same diet/routine as two of my training buddies, and I hold 1% more bf maybe.

I guess it's more of a energy/libido (could be thyroid) thing really, like I'm not quite optimal.
I don't have any problems with erections or sex, I just don't seem to be as social or have the interest as much anymore.

I've thought of maybe a 7 DHEA (since it's low).
My roomie, whose extreme, said try some more clomid or proviron by itself. I'm not so sure...
I've also heard pregnenolone suggested.

If I lower the shbg, for more free T, and/or boost the DHEA I'd probably feel much better?
If I raise thyroid/test, then it may help the other (random speculation)?
This seems possible somehow

My progesterone/estrogen balance isn't very good either. All my cbc and lipids were great however.
What do you guys think?

and i'm not taking anything. i was taking 5 iu hgh/day a month or two ago, before i left on vacation
