36 yr old HRT patient & initially borderline Hypothyroidism

[a_crossfitter]

Hi all! I want to start off by saying that all I want is to legitimately feel better, although, I don't mind the body transformation that I started seeing . I've put on close to 15 lbs since February.

I would like to get some input from you guys as to what I should tell my Dr on my next visit next week to discuss the latest lab results from 26 June 2014. I don't know what to do anymore since I am on so many drugs already.

I'm still feeling very tired during the day and I my girlfriend FORCES me to go to the gym (crossfit).

Attached are my lab results from before HRT and during HRT.
Key dates:
10 Feb 2014 - Started HRT with four pumps of Fortesta daily
14 Mar 2014 - Stopped Fortesta and started .25 ml daily of HCG. Started Arimidex 1mg/week
15 Apr 2014 - Stopped HCG and began Test Cypionate 100mg/ml weekly split into two doses. Started Armour 1g daily.
21 May 2014 - Increased dose of Test Cypionate to 200mg/ml.
26 Jun 2014 - Started/Added Sermorelin Forte 19.8mg (.1ml daily) and started HCG (.25ml daily). Dr said I many bodybuilders like the Sermorelin because it gives them energy. I am willing to try it out.

The only time I recall feeling better was on day 5 of applying Fortesta. To this day I feel nothing different.

Nelson suggested I visit the 'when TRT is not enough' section, hence, I am scheduled for a sleep study and already have my saliva test kit to check my cortisol levels.

Hi crossfitter and welcome.

I looked at your attachment and blood work but there are no ranges and the labs are limited.

One thing I see on the pull on the 14th is that your Estrogen levels are very very low and probably one reason why you feel like you do. Having low estrogen like this brings on some very bad side effects not discounting pathology as well. This needs to come back to the 20's.

Need to see more comprehensive labs including a complete thyroid panel.

Go to the blood work forum and see what you need.

Thanks for the feedback Gene. Much appreciated.

Are still taking 1 mg of the AI each week?

If so, you might want to stop and let your E2 rebound...that would be one big step in the right direction assuming you are still taking the AI.

My last dose was yesterday. I will stop taking and see how I feel in about 2 weeks?

Thanks again

Gene,

Could you give me an insight on these results. I'm about to make an appointment with the Dr and would like some ammunition...
