Wow! Thanks so much for all the information. Obviously it is critical to get my Thyroid function on point so that I can get a better handle on the shbg and Estradiol. I wish my doctor was up to speed on all this!

Thanks for all the helpful comments! I'm also struggling with low Thyroid activity and am in an ongoing test/adjust meds (levothyroxene) cycle with my general practitioner to fix the problem. My Thyroid labs from January 5 showed that my thyroid meds are "beginning to work" according to my...

My normal injection is Monday morning. The blood draw was early Tuesday, so about 24 hours delay. I understand it could be lab error but I don't feel any better on the testosterone, and my sex drive is worse than it was before it all began. Also my doctor tested "estrogen" 2 times over this...

MG.... My doctor never tested my Estrodiol. So I don't know what it was before the T treatment began. (Insert "idiot doctor" comment here) Im planning to sign up with Defy as soon as possible but it might be a couple of months in the future.

Thanks Vince, My injection protocol is very solid. I inject Monday morning and Thursday night. Very consistently. HOWEVER I'm a shift worker.... When the latest set of labs was drawn I had been due for my Monday injection but didn't want to mess up the results by injecting right before the...

I'm not currently using HCG, never have used it, but I do have some at home that I bought online when I started taking the Testosterone. If I introduce the HCG into my protocol, how long would you guys suggest waiting before I have another blood test? Thanks for for the advice!

45 year old. I'm not feeling any better than I felt before I began this T journey a year ago.... as a matter of fact I'm worse because I have ZERO SEX DRIVE. Injecting 1ml Test Cyp 200 every 2 weeks in divided doses every 3.5 days. Had blood tested on 1/12/17 (in trough before injection) with...

Thanks! Thats exactly the information I was looking for

Like the title says... I'm thinking about switching to Defy because I'm not happy with my TRT treatment from my current doctor. I have current labs. Approximately how long does it take to get the ball rolling so to speak, from the time I call until I come under the care of the Doctor at Defy?

I don't know why my topic was changed to be all about Boron.... boron has nothing whatsoever to do with my test results as I never took Boron before the blood draw c

This is the Boron I'm using: http://m.gnc.com/Trace-Minerals-Research-Ionic-Boron-6-mg/product.jsp?productId=117159986&network=g&device=m&product_id=25262441&creative=125833980554&c3ch=PLA&c3nid=25262441&matchtype=&adpos=1o3&gclid=CPXH_vu1z9ECFQO2wAod4AAH_A&eesource=CA_DF:117159986:GNC Hope I'm...

Nelson I only started the Boron AFTER this blood was drawn, but before I got the results. Based on how I've been feeling I was expecting my E2 to be high, which is why I started Boron and Vitimine D3

So do you guys suggest that I order another sensitive Estradiol test to confirm or dispute the results that I just received?

That's a good idea. Ill send an email. Thanks for for the suggestion

I'm only 5'10" i have not continued growing. So now now I spent $258 on the "right testing" but we are not sure if there was a possible lab error....

That's what I was afraid of. Thanks

I have never had E2 tested that I'm aware of.

Another question.... my Doctor sent me for blood work the day before the lab corps draw. He requested "total Estrogen" can the Total Estrogen test at least confirm in my E2 test from Lab Corps was legit?

I'm not confident at all in my doctor.... I will see him Monday. I really don't know what to do at this point. I began this journey a year ago and have not improved my life. As a matter of fact it is worse now.

I only started the Boron and D3 AFTER this blood draw, but before I got the results. We have been testing thyroid and adjusting meds every 30 days for 6 months now. I will get a copy of my latest labs asap. The question is.... can I raise the E2???? And should I be concerned about the Sgbh...

I can't seem to post pics of my test results from my iPhone

Never taken any AI. Never smoked a cigarette. Test cyp doesn't have AI involved. Weight train daily for over 2 years. Take fish oil, psyllium husk, and Apple Cider Vinegar. Occasionally take a fat burner. For the last few days I've been taking D3 & Boron because (prior to seeing these...

Edited original post to show shgb - 16.8

Coastal, Thanks for your input! Unfortunately I don't have my labs from before the TRT was started, and I'm quite sure my doctor never tested E2 sensitive since he just sent me for labs including "estrogen" (not sensitive E2). The Discountlabs tests were done on my own dime to try and...

Currently injecting 1cc Test Cyp 2000 every 2 weeks spread out over multiple doses every 3.5 days. My problem is my libido is very low. Jusr got got my results from Discount labs: total test - 933 free test - 31.9 estradiol - 5.3 shbg - 16.8 looks like low E2..... could this be my...

Ok everyone. I just ordered a full set of blood work from Discountedlabs.com hopefully with the correct testing I can move closer to a solution!!!

That's very good advice ^^^^ I agree. If things don't get better quickly I'll be calling Defy! and it's not likely that things will get much better if I can't even get proper testing.

I wish it was a simple thing to get a new Doctor. Ive been struggling with this for over a year just to get where I am.... As much as I'd like to use one of the forum sponsors, I really want to use my insurance. Its so so frustrating to spend over a year and get no true progress but it seems...

Hello Gentlemen, Please bear with me because getting proper blood tests with my Doc are like pulling teeth! Anyway I'm 45. 5'10" and 235 pounds. I weight train every day.... I'm overweight but built very solid with decent muscle mass. Currently dealing with under active thyroid and low T...
