TRT protocol

[moparmuscle]

Had it at work

Most recent with above program (prior program with 200mg week numbers were higher, we dropped to 150mg e5d and retested with this result):

Total T - 1150 ng/dl – range 249-836
Free T – 58.20 ng/dl – range 5-21
E2 – 26 pg/ml – range 3-70 (I don’t take an AI)
PSA – 1.3 ng/ml – range 0-4
IGF-1 – 117 ng/ml – range 117-329 (haven’t started HGH yet, I start in Jan)\
TSH 2.150 - uiU/dl –range .4-4.5
T4 – 6.4 ug/dl – range 4.5-12
T3 uptake – 38% - range 24-39%
Free Thyroxine – 2.4 – range 1.2-4.9

Lipids, organ function and blood panels were all within normal range expect for HDL which was low at 34 mg/dl with a range of should be higher then 39 mg/dl

I didn’t test DHEA but will next time

I would be very concerned with that level of HDL. Have you tried anything to boost it?

I use niacin, and over the years have doubled mine from 29 to 64 (of course diet is contributory)

There are other hormonal panels I'd like to see like Progesterone, Cortisol...but just as you said, high normal on Test panels. If it were me, and I felt good, I wouldn't change a thing. I've discussed this at length with my TRT specialist and he agrees as long as no neg sides appear and a man feels good than better to be left alone and monitor accordingly.

Thyroid looks good, just keep an eye on TSH anything over 2.0 is considered high normal. But your T4 and conversion to T3 is nice so your Thyroid is working fine.

PSA over 1 need to keep an eye on as well...but I am sure you know that.

E2 is fantastic especially with no AI! You were blessed with a great liver my friend!

Keep us posted on your hgh protocol.
