This is my first set of labs since starting TRT. Blood taken approx. 5 weeks after starting. Brief refresher - i'm on 200mg test cyp/week split into 2 shots every 3.5 days. Started 300iu HCG 3x weekly (M W F) about a week ago. Note: I don't know exactly what to post other than the obvious (test, SHBG, E2, etc) but did get the metabolic panel, lipid panel, CBC, etc. I just don't know what's critical to post here and what isn't, so if you don't see it but want to, let me know and i'll throw it up here!
Lipids
Cholesterol, total 151 mg/dL (100-199)
Triglycerides 67 mg/dL (0-149)
HDL Cholesterol 47 mg/dL (>39)
VLDL Cholesterol Cal 13 mg/dL (5-40)
LDL Cholesterol Calc 91 mg/dL (0-99)
T. Chol/HDL Ratio 3.2 ratio units (0.0 - 5.0)
CBC
WBC 9.7 x10E3/uL (4.0-10.5)
RBC 5.17 x10E6/uL (4.14-5.80)
Hemoglobin 15.8 g/dL (12.6-17.7
Hematocrit 46.1 % (37.5-51)
Note: There's quite a few more results for CBC. Let me know what else you'd like/need to see.
PSA Total+% Free
Prostate Specific Ag, Serum (Roche ECLIA methodology) 0.2 ng/mL (0.0-4.0)
PSA, Free 0.13 ng/mL (N/A)
% Free PSA 65.0 % (N/A)
Testosterone, Free & Total
Testosterone, Serum 1261 ng/dL (348-1197)
Free Testosterone (Direct) 32.7 pg/mL (8.7-25.1)
LH 0.1 mIU/mL (1.7-8.6) low, expected
FSH <0.2 mIU/mL (1.5-12.4) low, expected
Thyroxine (T4) Free (Direct) 1.13 ng/dL (0.82-1.77)
DHEA, Serum 58 ng/dL (31-701) note: need to start supplementing to bring this up
TSH 2.830 uIU/mL (0.450-4.500)
Estradiol (Roche ECLIA methodology) 23.8 pg/mL (7.6-42.6) Looking decent?? Note: I asked for the sensitive assay, but don't see that noted anywhere in the results... ??
Thyroxine (T4) 6.6 ug/dL (4.5-12.0)
Triiodothyronine (T3) 127 ng/dL (71-180)
SHBG, Serum 42.2 nmol/L (16.5-55.9) Note: This is about 10 points lower than my last labs before starting, but I still want to get it much lower. Started Vitamin D3, going to start Stinging Nettles next
Well, that's everything I have that I thought was of interest for our purpose here. Let me know what you think and what I should discuss with my doc. Next appt. to review these labs in 2 weeks.
