bloodwork

Hello! I’m a 37 y/o on TRT and also compete in bodybuilding. As such, and especially around contests, I do a bit more than just TRT including adding other compounds. Have always been very on top of bloodwork. I have been watching my PSA (I have an uncle and grandpa who had PCa) so I’ve...

Background: 36yo male. Low T symptoms such as low libido, fat accumulation in belly, and difficulty recovering from workouts. I should note that I am not overweight and lift weights regularly. What I mean to highlight here is that I've always had an easy time remaining lean and that's...

Please help me understand my blood work and symptoms I’ve been struggling for the longest time with fatigue, stubborn weight, and feeling extremely cold + sluggish, constipated and having ED. I’ve been taking my oral temperature on waking and throughout the day. Waking temp ranges from 92-96...

Im Canadian and before Covid I would purchase a panel from Discounted Labs or PrivateMD Labs and then run down across the border to Labcorp to have blood drawn. I'm wondering if this is still doable or if there's any red tape issues? I tried to call Lapcorp and Quest but there's no option to...

My new physician has taken me off Androgel 1:62% gel that I have applied 2 pumps for the past 6+ years due to the bloodwork results attached. She asked me to discontinue it's use 100% for at least 2 weeks so we can redo the labs at that time. I'm on day 4 of no Androgel and am concerned the...

Hi all, 43 y.o. male here. Just took my 7th injection of test cyp last Friday. (I take 160 mg a week) plus the doctor has me on dessicated thyroid and DHEA to boost a "sluggish thyroid" as he called it. I just got back my first bloodwork and I was very surprised by some of the numbers. My...

So finally after years of suffering from low T, I decided to start TRT last month, I chose to go with bioidentical pellet therapy to start based on the doctor and his background and knowledge of of hormone therapy. I had 9 200 mg pellets inserted 34 days ago. I just got back my 30 day labs and...

I won't share all my labs, but just the ones my doc and I are looking at and his suggested protocol for your feedback. Protocol for the next 4-6 weeks B12:500-1000 mcg per day. Sublingual no later than 12pm I am experimenting first with the right kind of B12. 1000 mcg of Methyl is too much...

Hello everyone, I’ve had low T since college but no doctor ever wanted me to do anything about it. I had all the symptoms from lack of energy, depression, fatigue, low libido, brain fog. I was skinny, ate well, exercised a lot and my numbers have been between 200-400 tested every couple years...

Curious if anyones using test manufactured by them as I keep seeing bloodwork in the gutter with people using them as of recent?

I want to establish a good baseline(or as close to baseline as I can get after 6 weeks in). They only tested four things for my initial visit. LH = 5.8(1.7-8.6) FSH = 6.3(1.5-12.4) Total = 563(264-916) Free = 10.1(8.7-25.1) I know a lot of people recommend checking thyroid and I’m open to it if...

Hey guys I am now 4 weeks on TRT. I am a 34 year old male and had issues with low libido and low energy the last 2 years until I have checked my T levels and they were very low. For example in 2016 I had TT levels of 870 ng/dL and 3 weeks ago before I started TRT it was 358 ng/dL. 1 week ago I...

Some have recommended Resveratrol to me as a means to lower E2 naturally. Has anyone had success lowering E2 a few points with resveratrol? I want to lower my e2 by 5-10 pg/mL

Hi, Very new to all this, sort of introduction post too. Hi everybody. I know it's long. Considering trt, pretty nervous about it all. Just looking for a sanity check, feedback and any advice. Really appreciate all the info on this site already. History / Stats 37 190 lbs 5'11'' BP 120/78...

Hey all. Started my TRT due to high SHBG, Im from UK so had to source my own. anyway, had it in my cupboard for a year, been on it for 4 weeks. 125mg a week for first 3 weeks, then 200mg in last week, including the 100 I injected the night before the test to check if its legit TESTOSTERONE -...

Been on TRT for about 3 months now and it has been a roller coaster to say the least. I started on 125 a week split up on Monday and Thursday of each week. Also with HCG and .25 of an AI on injection days. started having bad palpitations and hot flushes. Had me double up on AI and it tanked my...

I'm on daily subcutaneous testosterone cypionate injections and my doctor always has me do my labs in a 4-5 hour window post injection. I know T levels are pretty stable on daily injections but does anyone know the timing of the peak and trough for daily subq cypionate injections? I just want...

Hello everybody, first off I want to say that this site has been a great resource for researching TRT and related subjects! I am a first-time-poster and would like to receive some input and advice on my current situation. I am majorly struggling with life right now and need some drastic change...

Hi guys, I am a TRT patient who has had a hard time getting dialed in. I want to avoid an AI. Even small compounded doses of anastrozole make me feel terrible, and DIM has not been helpful. My doc recommended I think about switching from 70mg twice a week and 400iu hcg twice a week, to 20mg cyp...

On TRT for 6 weeks now and my next bloodwork/followup with the endo is due in a few days. Calling my endo "inexperienced" when it comes to TRT would be a massive compliment, so I just wanted to check in with you guys ahead of time so that I'm getting the right labs. What should I get tested...

Been on trt since last December. This bloodwork represents 120 mg of test cyp per week split in two doses. 60 mg Monday morning. 60 mg Thursday afternoon. No ai. No hcg. I'm concerned about the hematocrit that seems to be going down. It was 43% last bloodwork in feburary. Any insight is appreciated.

So long story short, after my last bloodwork I realised that I probably had adrenal issues that had to be addressed. My cortisol was lowish, progesterone was low and so was DHEAS. I felt tired, irritated and I was considering coming off TRT. I crashed my E2 like 4 times this year, mostly because...

This month, on March 5th I began TRT via testosterone cypionate injections. On this day I was injected with 1cc containing 200mg of testosterone cypionate suspended in grape seed oil. The doctor gave me paperwork for a blood analysis and told me to have it done after waiting one full week from...
