Agreed. As it stands now I am only starting hcg to see if that will help my testosterone. Based on the labs he is hoping that will be enough to kick my testes up and start producing naturally.
Even when I’m up to 15mcg of cytomel it sounds like a fairly low dose compared to others. Baby steps...
Had my initial consult at defy. Here’s the initial plan based on the blood work:
BEGIN HCG Inject 500 iu SQ three times weekly to raise testosterone levels (Inject 50 units three times weekly on a 30g ½” insulin needle)
BEGIN Anastrozole 0.25 mg two-three times weekly as needed per E2 symptoms...
Started cytomel this week. 5mcg for a week then 10mcg for a week then 15mcg until retesting levels in about 2 months. Hoping it will increase my t3 and in turn lower my rt3
I also have a high rT3 level. After a visit last week to defy medical we are trying to use cytomel to increase my t3 production which would hopefully improve my ratios. Rechecking in 2 months.
yea my triglycerides are crazy high. Haven’t been this high since high school when I was on accutane. It’s almost triple what they were last year. The reverse t3 really sticks out. Definitely a first.
Definitely a lot of conflicting info out there. One big reason why I haven’t done much. I for sure know that I want to try everything I can before a statin though.
EXACTLY what I am looking forward to. It’s been like battling a demon uphill both ways in the snap without arms or legs. Just getting nowhere and it’s frustrating as heck!
Heres a dexascan. It was alarming. I was working out with my trainer (on a pretty strict monitored diet around 1800 calories macro based) for almost 4 months when this was taken. It’s my trainer who prompted me to get this done as well as some bloodwork since the scale isn’t moving much (a...
Thanks Vince! I was looking at some former labs and my total cholesterol is down about 10% from last years physical. Still a ways to go obviously. I am hoping that somehow I can stave off having to start a statin. I’ve read niacin can help (non flush free kind, around 1500mg per day) but haven’t...
