New Blood Test Results. Feedback appreciated.

[TestingMe]

Finally got the results back from last Monday's blood test.

For anyone who's followed my story, all my levels were through the roof and they have changed dramatically lower finally after slowly tapering from 200mg once a week, 80mg 2x week, 50mg 2x a week.

Here's where they are now

Testosterone (170-780) 425.51
SHBG (13-89) 31
Free Testosterone (4.0-29) 10.2
Testosterone Bioav. (77-357) 192
Estradiol 20

Dihydrotestosterone (results coming...10 days for results?)

Glad things are all in the normal ranges. He didn't test Hematocrit and related because they are all fine and I had donated blood 4x to get them back to normal.

As far as how I am feeling..since donating so much, I feel night and day better..I actually feel more stable as the Estradiol has dropped from well over 70..I have much less temperature sensitivity.

The doctor and I agreed to be shooting for 700-800 levels of test.

How much do you guys think I should increase starting tomorrow..I'm thinking maybe go from 50mg x2 a week to 60mg 2x a week.

Thanks for reading!

Also guys...last time I saw the doc (he's new for me and great) we talked about the possibility of adding HCG. He said he would once the T levels dropped..So I'm pretty much there and have some umm...shrinkage going on...

What would be a starting protocol for when I do the HCG? I like to be prepared before I meet with him and lastly..If I'm seeing him about once a month are there other tests I might be getting at the same time. How often are complete blood tests usually done including all the things that are of concern to us?

Are you on an A.I.? Or are you trying to normalize you e2 without one? 1084 t levels would be nice to have consistantly. You had that on 75mg but your e2 levels were 70. Was that with an ai?

I remember on my first go around my t levels were at 1800 on 100mg a week and e2 levels were at 10 with arimidex. This time im trying to avoid arimidex since it took my e2 levels drastically low and made me feel like shit.

NEver took an AI and had been on 200mg without being monitored close enough. Finally donated blood in July a few times and got the Hematocrit under control, as I tapered slowly from 200mg once a week.

After reviewing all the tests, I changed my mind and went to 70mg 2x a week rather than 60mg..

It's great that all ranges are finally in range...Now comes the dialing in part..
