Blood Test Results

[schaffer76]

Hello all I am new to TRT amd I just got back some blood work after being on for about 6 months. I had total and free testosterone, prolactin, and estradiol levels checked. The numbers were,

Total Testosterone - 1251 ng/dl
Free Testosterone - 36.3 pg/ml
Prolactin - 22.5 ng/ml
Estradiol Sensitivity - 51.1 pg/ml

I currently am taking 200mg of testosterone cypionate a week pinned twice and 1mg of anastrozole divided and 1/2 mg doses once a week as well as 500iu of HCG twice a week. I was hoping you all could help me with deciphering these numbers and help me from there since the e2 and prolactin are so high. I thank you for the help.

When did you draw labs in relation to your next injection?
You should post ranges for the results of they are not from labcorp.

Welcome to ExcelMale, are you having symptoms? perhaps consider dropping HCG down to 300iu's 2x a week I read a post Gene Devine made about thinking anything over 350iu would aromatase more and I think some men are just more sensitive to that kind of thing. was prolactin an issue before TRT?

Free Testosterone - 9.3-26.5
Total Testosterone - 348-1197
Prolactin - 4.0-15.2

Numbers are one-half the story: how are you feeling? I wonder about your estradiol being that high given your AI dose.

Your E2, while above 30, is not terribly high in relation to your Total T of 1251. Your T to E ratio is 24. So depending upon your sensitivity, that level may or may not be a problem for you.

Prolactin can be lowered by very low doses of Cabergoline - something like 0.25 mg twice a week Like everything else, going too low on Prolactin is as bad as being too high.
