I recently received blood work in my 12th week of my cycle. My main concern was that my test was not doing what it was suppose to because I really didn’t/don't feel strong or have that push in the gym. I also haven’t had a crazy sex drive either. I’m very mellow and not easily irritated. All of these signs had me second guessing my gear. I don’t have crazy energy throughout the day, I do have a hectic schedule but I always get 7-8 hours of sleep per night.
This is my 3rd cycle, my others I felt more like a “beast”.
I’m very prone to gyno sides so I use the nolvadex to prevent flare ups.
Here is my cycle layout:
Test C 500mg/week
HCG 250iu 3x/week
Aromasin 20mg/day
Nolvadex 10mg/day
Cialis 6mg/day
My stats:
28 years old
5'4
180 lbs.
3760 calories/day 500g carbs/260g protein/80g fat
Here are my blood results:
Reticulocytes
Ret He (Retic Hemoglobin Equivalent) 27.8 25-30
Iron, Serum 54 50-212
Iron Binding Capacity, TOT 479 (H) 238-465
Iron % Saturation 11 (L) 13-45
UIBC 425 (H) 155-355
Ferritin 19 (L) 22-322
CBC
WBC 6.3 3.6-11.0
RBC 6.64 (H) 4.40-6.10
Hemoglobin 17.2 13.0-18.0
Hematocrit 53.6 (H) 39-52
MCV 81 75-100
MCH 25.9 (L) 26.0-32.0
MCHC 32.1 32.0-35.0
RDW 16.7 (H) 11.2-14.8
Platelet Count 138 (L) 140-440
Estradiol, Serum 28 0-56
Sex Binding Globulin 13.4 10-57
Prolactin 10.0 2-17
Testosterone 2352 (H) 136-697
Free Testo 87.97 (H) 3.4-16.0
After reading my results, my test and free test is through the roof, my estrogen is within range, my prolactin is within range... Why do I feel the way I feel if everything seems to be ok? My Sex Binding Globulin is on the low end, although I haven't done much research on what that does. Could my Iron be the reason for the way I feel?
I posted in the blood work section but noticed that threads do not get much play over there.
