total: 171 125-200mg/dl


I eat fairly healthy (could be better) don't drink alcohol, do cardio 4x week, and take my EFA. It's obvious the test is making my levels go higher than the norm. Just curious if anyone else on HRT or TRT has elevated lipids also?????
I had 227 total cholesterol before starting TRT. I am on androgel and my last one came in around 164, with HDL in the 55 range. I went from a bad cholesterol profile to the best I've ever had in my life on TRT. Doctor also put me on 50 mg synthroid a day at same time and doctor things combination of thyroid correction with testosterone correction helped bring about the big improvement in my lipids. I wouldnt worry about it the 171 total is considered great, you can get your HDL up higher with more exercise, but it could really be you cheated and ate at Wendys or Kentucky Chicken or especially bad, too many eggs in bacon a few times too many before the blood test too and its just showing a temporary spike because of some greesy food you ate recently.

There are absolutely no bells or whistles going off over that lipid profile.
