Can you please review my blood test results? Thank you!

[Galactus]

Hello! I'm 54, 206, 5'10" and inject 125 mg of Cypionate on Mondays and Thursdays. Here are my blood test results. I should probably go back to Labcorp to get my free test results since they screwed up my sample

I feel pretty good in general, though my BP is always a bit high, and I really need to see if I can get monthly blood donations/therapeutic phlebotomy since I can always tell when my blood tank is over-filled.

Wondering if M/W injections are ok or if I should switch to every other day (as I learn more about shbg)? Maybe just try it and see?

Also, got my CT scan two days ago and I'm still cancer free! (partial kidney removal 1.5 years ago)

Results:

• Testosterone total: 263-916 (1365 & 1088, two results tested separately)
• Estradiol, serum: 7.6 - 42.6 (47.7 result)
• Estradiol, sensitive: 29.5 (no range provided)
• Prostate specific Ag: 0-4 (3.9 result)
• LDL chol: 0 - 99 (153 result)
• DHEA-sulfate, lcms: 37
• shbg: 19.3 - 76.4 (30.5 result)

I’m mad because they couldn’t do free testosterone due to insufficient sample size. My free test in a previous test, same protocol, was 12.3 within a range of 7.2 - 24.

I had part of my kidney removed, so these results make sense:

• eGFR: 59 is normal (56 result)
• Creatinine: 1.27 is normal (1.47 result)

Thanks y'all!

125 mg of Cypionate on Mondays and Thursdays.

125 mg or 250 mg/wk ? just to clarify.

Trough results above right before next injection?


Congrats on being cancer free!

Here's lower estimate for your calculated FT. Much higher than the number you cite above.

125 mg/wk (.45 ml 2x/wk). Results right before next injection. And thank you!

What is the concentration of your test cyp?

125 mg/week divided by 0.9 ml/week is ~139 mg/ml. I am not following.

Also, awesome build Brother! Way to go.

100% correct, but I'll add this because I think it's a little more relatable for the common man:

.45ml of 100mg per ml = 45 mg; 45mg x 2 = 90mg per week
.45ml of 200mg per ml = 90 mg; 90mg x 2 = 180mg per week

Neither of those is 125mg per week.

Hey, I thought maybe there was a 138.8888888888.... mg/ml product I hadn't come across LOL.

Good point! We are pretty partial to 5's and 10's here in the west, but who knows. Maybe in one of those 'stan countries.

I would restest PSA to make sure it is not so close to 4. Read: Reasons Why Your High PSA Test May Not Be Prostate Cancer

What are the units for DHEA? Range: 120 to 520 µg/dL or 3.24 to 14.04 µmol/L

Your eGFR is low. Are you taking creatine? Read: Is the Cystatin C Test Better than Creatinine for Muscular Men?

To your point we don't know if he GFR is low. From the looks of him he would be great candidate for cystatin C test. I know the results of my eGFR based on creatinine vs cystatin C were wildly different.

Ok, if there was a "Moron of the year" award, give it to me right now.

I was previously injecting .45 ml every five days (200 mg/ml). That's 125 mg a week, correct?

I just realized that when I switched to M & Th injections, I forgot to recalculate my dosage. UGH. So that means I've been taking 180 mg a week

Wow. I can't believe I made that mistake. That would explain why my shirts no longer fit.

They tested the same sample twice. One was 4, one was 3.9

"No reference range data available" - which is odd, so I don't have any idea

I take creatine every day. Should I stop? I have one and a half kidneys which is maybe why that eGFR is low?

Thanks!

Correct, the old dosage was the equivalent of 126mg per 7 days.

126. Very close.

Glad you got your actual dosing Brother Galactus. Lookin Swole and Ripped.

Edit: @RickB first LOL!!!!
