    HCG bloodwork results

    To make a long story short, I hit shut down from 6 months of my transdermal trt testosterone , and my sperm count was also super low. The endo I saw stuck me on Clomid which I did for 2 weeks, and after a little more research learned I really needed hcg during trt to bring the boys back. So I ordered some hcg online and after about 2 1/2 - 3 weeks later I had bloodwork done. Here's my results, just looking for any input or thoughts.Click image for larger version.

    Ok, so you're HPTA suppressed as your LH/FSH labs reflect.

    You are both supraphysiological for both total Testosterone and Free probably as a result of the added HCG and natural production.

    You need to reduce your Testosterone dosage.

    I don't see estradiol anywhere here?

    My guess, it's elevated..

    You are missing a lot of labs to assess your hormonal health correctly.

    This Doc knows what he's doing...don't think so.

    Hematocrit is creeping up there too. Lowering your test dose as gd mentioned above should help keep you away from that 50. Certainly need an ultra-sensitive E2 assay.

    Thanks for the feedback. I'll lower my test dosage tomorrow, I'll try dropping down my dose to half. I'll also talk to my family physician about getting me the proper bloodwork I need. So we're talk test, prolactin, e2, fsh, lh, and all the other normal routine such as CBC.

    Last thing I want is problems because of levels being too high. I do have some aromasin on had as well. Should I start administering a small dose or maybe just wait to see what my next round of bloodwork says?

    Read the sticky by kel on finding a TRT Doctor at the top of the forum; the labs you needs are listed in there.

    Cutting your dosage in half is rather a large move; we like to move slow around here and test along the way.

    Try cutting by 1/3 and get blood work done in a 6 weeks to evaluate all labs. Post here when you get them and we will help you.

    Don't take any other medications till you have blood work after you cut your dose.

    Just curious, but should I donate blood at the end of the month at a local blood drive. Only asking because I've heard its the best way to lower your Hematocrit levels. I'm just worried about any problems as a result of it being higher.
