[QUOTE="Xerxes, post: 23114, member: 5563"] So I need a little help with some lab numbers I just got back today. First off, my primary pulled the following labs from a blood draw on Aug 6 when I went in complaining of high e2 symptoms: [B]e2 42 on a range of <40 [B]HIGH[/B] total t = 693 range 160-853 free t = 18.2 range 3.5-15.5 [B]HIGH shbg = 20.7 range 10-57[/B][/B] He wanted me back in to do an afternoon blood draw for test. levels. He collected it on Aug 13. Got results today (he also pulled Estradiol and Progesterone). As an aside this week I've been doing .25mg arimidex with my shots MWF and have been feeling some relief. Sleeping better, less anxiety, still low libido and only minor REM wood. Haven't taken arimidex today (Friday) b/c of the following numbers literally drawn a week later than the above numbers when I was feeling even worse (but they from a different lab for some reason): [B]Estradiol = 22 range 0-47[/B] [B]Progesterone = 0.21 range 0.14-2.06[/B] [B]Testosterone = 74 range 199-1587 LOW[/B] H ow is it possible to drop more than 600 pts in one week! Can this be a lab mistake? Maybe it's 740 and it's a typo? I hadn't started taking the arimidex yet (was using DIM and Calcium D- Glucarate) and was still on my 2x weekly 80 mg at that point. Switched to MWF 40mg to combat high E2. I am so confused. This must be in error, right? Since about Sunday of last week (3 days after this blood draw), I have been feeling a bit better. I am utterly confused. On another note, I am seriously considering getting off TRT and trying to deal with my anxiety and ED issues another way. On my Aug 6 blood work [B]FSH was <0.3 range 1.4-18.1 and LH was <0.1 range 1.5-9.3. [/B]This obviously means I'm shut down right? If I just stop will I start to produce my own again? If so how soon? I've only been doing shots since June 16. I did Testim from May 5-June 16. So everything together about 3.5 months in. I am 35. 165 5'8''. I have an endo appt on Monday morning but I am a new patient and am not sure she has much expertise in TRT. Will ask her about a restart or about any underlying metabolic issues.
