[QUOTE="evolution69, post: 249731, member: 16069"] Hey all, just got my blood results in. I have been on TRT (100mg/week) since July 2022, I am 54. I told my doc in November that I didn’t like the testicular atrophy, so he gave me a script of HCG, 500iu, twice per week. Starting in November, I also switched from daily to twice per week of testosterone injections. These adjustments really worked for me, my gym motivation and performance increased. I was able to do a diet to drop 18 lbs while increasing muscle mass. Totally changed my body composition. Sex drive has been good, with great orgasms. My anxiety and depression have not improved but they haven’t gotten worse either. I also started Ritalin in December which worked great for about month but seemed to peter out, I will speak with my doc about increasing the dose or trying something different. Also, I started a microdose of topical finasteride at about half the prescribed dose. This has not seemed to affect erections, orgasms or anything really. Here some of the bloods, these were taken on a Wednesday, my last 50mg shot was on Sunday morning: Testosterone 33.0 nmol/l Range 8.4-28.8 Free Testosterone 797 pmol/l Range 115-577 pmol/L Testosterone Bioavailable 18.7 nmol/L Range 2.7-13.5 nmol/L Estradiol (Non-Sensitive) 207 pmol/L Range <162 SHGB 32.3 nmol/L Range 19-76 nmol/L Some of the non-hormone out of ranges: Total Biliburin 20 umol/L Range <17 umol/L Aspartate AminoTransferase 41 U/L Range <36 U/L Creatine Kinase 363 U/L Range <165 U/L My hematocrit is good (.47) Not sure why the top range for total testosterone is so low at this lab (Lifelabs Canada). It converts to 831ng/dl. My doc is probably going to say my T is too high even though I feel great and it is only at 952 ng/dl converted. My estradiol seems high but I do not see any effects from that. Lately the sex and orgasms have been outstanding which I assume would not be happening if my E was too high. Not sure what to think about those liver related markers being out of range. I have never had issue with any of those markers before. Could they be related to TRT? One more thing which may be related, Canada had a test cyp shortage so I got switched to Delastryl (Test Enanthate) in January. I was wary at first but if anything it made things better. [/QUOTE]
