blood drawn this a.m.

[skinin_bonz]

Its been 8 weeks on trt. 1st blood work(pre trt) said total and free was low.
Been on 100 mg test cy per week.

when I went in today I told them I wanted every test they could give me I wanted to see how my system was reacting to the therapy I wanted cholesterol testosterone estrogen PSA anything I could think of. it should be in in a few days I I'm going to take the advice of members on here and split my 100 per week into two injections per week and compare that in another 6 to 8 weeks.
doctors office said they would call me and let me know if levels were good or bad and I laughed. I informed them I would be in personally to get copies of my original test and the one they drew blood for today. They looked at me like a deer in the headlights. I told them that no offense but some doctors don't always have time to look deep enough and that I would do my own research with my own test results. That's where you guys come in hopefully lol... the nurses were a little taken back and I just told them look I'm paying for them and I will have a copy of them and that was the end of the story so when I get the two results in my hand I'll post and ask for help then. Before the end of the week if all goes well

well done! be assertive- the bloodtests are your property! you will do fine- my dr sends me the results before our consultation so i can highlight anything that stands out to me.

keep a file and start storing your resuls- very handy to review iin a few years

Nothing that say estrogen and I asked for it specifically.
Or ldl/hdl I fasted so cholesterol could be checked.


Okay yall....decipher it for me. I have numbers for the categories that I just put normal if you want specifics but there was so many things to type in it would take me all day.

The above was 100mg 1 pin/week taken the day I was due shot.

Now im 150mg/week 2 pins. Anxious to see difference.

And this is after 8 weeks on TRT??? I'm no expert but not very impressive numbers bro. After 6 week on TRT I went from 287 to 952 and started leveling out in the 600's about 3 months after. Is your diagnoses for low T known? What are your stats. Honestly I'm not here to give it advice as I said I'm no expert but just wanting a little education myself.

[skinin_bonz]

Low t unknown cause.
Im 43 6ft 190/195lbs
Other wise healthy

Was the range of your lab similar to mine? I wasnt happy either. I hope 2 shots weekly will help the numbers and how I feel over all.

[Simon1972]

your results look low but not what we would consider out of expectation.
2x a week should increase the number as less will convert to E, not to mention you will be on 75mg a pin x2 now.

besides the 150mg a week split, what else are you taking? any E blockers?
an an example at my highest i would be on 800-900 at my peak using 150mg a week/2 - we all react differently, using aromsin etc would let your test levels increase simply thru less conversion...

Doc wont listen to any blocker talk..... by pining 2xweek do you think i still need it?

[skinin_bonz]

Doc wont talk about blockers. 2xweek, do you think I need it?

You can take otc blockers like DIM or grapeseed extract. I take dim 2x a day.

[Simon1972]

Doc wont talk about blockers. 2xweek, do you think I need it?

Have you tested your estrogen? If no then the answer = nobody knows.
If yes, what is your E levels, do not take an e blocker without knowing your E.

If your Dr won't check for E, find another Dr. .

I asked spicificly for E test and it wasnt done.....i will be asking why on monday morning.
