[QUOTE="Dominatio, post: 80023, member: 16241"] Hi Folks - another update regarding my T readings. After my last finger stick blood test was contaminated I had blood drawn at a clinic and got the results back pretty quickly. All good (Blood, Thyroid, PSA, Liver, Kidneys, Test, E2 etc) except my Cholesterol, which is low HDL and high LDL. I've increased my Omegas and use of Olive Oil to try and remedy that. My Hormone levels are as follows: TESTOSTERONE 23.4 nmol/L 7.60 - 31.40 FREE-TESTOSTERONE(CALCULATED) 0.631 nmol/L 0.30 - 1.00 17-BETA OESTRADIOL 96.5 pmol/L 0.00 - 191.99 SEX HORMONE BINDING GLOB 23.5 nmol/L 19.00 - 83.00 PROLACTIN 93.8 mIU/L 86.00 - 324.00 I'd have liked my E2 under 91 and SHBG at 20 but I'm still pleased with this result. These are all based on using TestoGel for 3.5 weeks at 2* sachets per day plus 20mg of Proviron. All of these numbers are exactly where I would have wanted them, and it seems I am responding to the treatment really quickly. My ED is greatly reduced, morning wood is back though not the way it used to be. Libido is up and first real penetrative sex in month (2 times lol) this week. All rosy, though at 2*sachets of TestoGel per day I'm not sure its a cost effective route to this level of free test. Test Enanthate two times per week would be more cost effective, and easier to maintain. Gel is around £90 here for 60 sachets (4 weeks) and TE is around £30 for 30 weeks at 100mg per week (approx equivalent of the gel concentration after absorption). However, my next step will be to begin a regimen of HCG 2 times per week and see where that addition take me, and decide on the Test E over the next week or two. Not sure really what to expect from the HCG? I experimented with the Ramipril medication, stopped it for 2 weeks and monitored my blood pressure. Though my Systolic is a little high (at or just under 140 most days am) it does not change if I use the Ramipril or not. I've reintroduced it and will now test the Bisoprolol and see where that takes me. I had a medical challenge two weeks ago with a 'mini' outpatient surgical procedure and was advised not to workout for some time. I'll be back in the gym from today, and hopefully I'll get my fasting blood glucose back to low levels again as its started to drift up whilst I've been resting (diet has been poor too compared to normal - amazing how being horney makes you want to enjoy some of the other fruits of life too LOL).
