    blood test results

    hey.

    Would you guys be able to give some input on this test?

    I am taking 125mg TestE a week, this is split into 2 T/F.

    The results are not giving anything specific on my blood, just says clotted ( my food intake is not the cleanest )

    These are European results, so not sure if they differ from US. I can always convert if there is a problem

    TESTOSTERONE = 490.313 NG/DL

    thanks in advance

    When was your last injection before bloodwork? This looks like a trough.

    No clue what "clotted" means, but I bet it can be solved by donating a pint.

    Clean up your diet and fix the cholesterol, or at least improve it.

    Are you doing anything specific to bring down cortisol?

    What is your workout regimen?

    Thanks for replying.

    The blood was taking the morning of my injection day.

    Workout wise, im in the gym 4 days a week. I do roughly 45 mins of weight training, followed by 10 mins of kettlebell swings.

    Diet wise I can aim to cut out full fat red meat, and also no longer use butter when cooking.

    I eat a lot of peanut butter and 10% fat greek yogurt, as I want to kewp my calories up. Can also have 3 eggs a day, instead of 4.

    I have no idea regarding anything to do with cortisol. Any advice?

    I take prescription medication to deal with bipolar disorder. citalopram and lamotrigine,, maybe this could be raising some levels

    **just found out that depression and bipolar increase cortisol.. And it is also higher following a manic episode - i just came off a mild one **


    Thanks again

    Was blood drawn before or after your injection?

    Not sure about the meds, but cortisol appears to be low. Low cortisol can cause problems, it would be good to know why it is low. Also, not sure how far below normal it really is. I'm not sure on this one.

    Mood has been up and down, but i think that is due to mental health.

    My sex drive has disappeared.
    I was running a cycle for 12 weeks 300mg test 200mg decca.
    I was really horny throughout that.

    When i came off and dropped back to 125ml pw test, my sex drive dropped with it. Has been low for around 12 weeks.

    I just started another cycle, so will provs go up again.

    I had thought that dropping down to my TRT dose would maintain my sex drive.
