    New blood work, I would appreciate a look see

    I am on a protocol of 60mg test cyp twice a week, hcg 250 iu 3 times a week, and no ai. I'm also taking 40 mcg t3 and 160 mcg t4 and that has raised my body temp from 96.2 to 97.5. I know my thyroid numbers seem odd so any help here would be appreciated.

    I tried to give blood but my blood bank wouldn't take it because of hematocrit levels too high. I stopped my iron supplement because of it but now realize that doesn't help. Confused by my iron numbers all the way around. Should I ask my doctor for a phlebotomy script?

    I don't know what most of the high and low flags mean if anything or if I should be concerned with any of them.

    your thyroid is out of whack due to taking T3 and T4. it looks like you got some type of blood disorder, not sure if its cased by the T3 and T4 you're taking. how does this compare to prior BW?

    t3 is higher now than previous. t4 is back into range it was non existent when on only t3 but that's to be expected.

    Bloods from may when i was 75 mg test cyp, 750iu hcg , no ai and 40 mcg t3 only. I know my thyroid protocol is kind of whacked but I'm still only up to 97.5 body temp from 96.2 with no t3 t4. Obviously my thyroid is jacked and when I added t4 to the t3 fat started to melt off. I was under maintenance before and nothing, after adding t4 boom 4-5 pounds.

    to be honest I never seen these numbers go out of whack with TRT and there is allot more going on than what "HRT Experts" in this forum can help you with, you need to talk to your doc to get to the bottom of it and get it fixed.

    It looks like you have been sick/had an infection recently, or had some inflammatory illness - asthma, allergies, UTI. It could have been mild and occurred a week or two before bloods were drawn.

    I'm wondering if you took your T3 in the morning before your bloods were drawn?

    I don't know about the LH and test results - hopefully one of the many knowledgeable members will help.

    I was crazy sick back in July but I don't know if that had anything to do with it. Were talking 104 degree temp for 2 days and my body temp is always under 98. Im always dealing with allergies. Waited on t3 after my bloods. Seeing my doc today. Thanks

    My Dc has now passed me off to her NP and she is just as clueless as my Doc. She said nothing looked bad from the blood work and thought some were elevated because i wasn't hydrated which i wasn't. I will probably have to self bleed because she isn't concerned with my hematocrit levels. I really don't know what i would do without this place. And told me t3 was ok but if i wanted i could probably reduce it a little if i wanted. So since my local blood bank wont take my blood I will be following the youtube video that kelkell or bass posted, I cant remember which.

    I would drop the T3 a bit. Your SHBG looks good now, but if you keep your T3 elevated you will need to keep an eye on it, because high T3 causes an increase in SHBG, which will bind to your free testosterone and lower it.
