[QUOTE="Esq, post: 64631, member: 15250"] Over the next year, all symptoms either remained the same or seemed to get worse. Frustrated with my body composition and training performance, I even began to consider an AAS cycle, though I changed my mind on that pretty quickly. Ultimately, in the fall of 2016, I decided to do an 8 week cycle of LGD-4033 to see if it improved performance, followed by a mild 3 week run of toremifene (60/40/20) to counter any suppression. All of that took me into the first week of January 2017. The LGD seemed to increase strength and improve recovery modestly, but did nothing for the underlying symptoms. ` During that time I was periodically reading this forum, the Peak Testosterone forum, and the Testosterone subreddit, and decided to contact Defy to see if I could get to the bottom of my symptoms. My initial labs with Defy were done on January 16 (33 days after my last dose of LGD and 8 days after my last dose of torem). The CBC, metabolic panel, and lipid panel came back with optimal numbers, including extremely good lipid numbers. Relative to this discussion were the following numbers: ` Total testosterone: 1000 (range 348-1197) Free test: 25 (8.7-25.1) Albumin: 4.4 (3.5-5.5) DHEA-Sulfate: 642.7 (102.6-416.3) TSH: 1.8 (0.45-4.5) LH: 6.5 (1.7-8.6) PSA: 1.0 (0.0-4.0) Estradiol, sensitive: 34.2 (8.0-35.0) SHBG: 52.4 (16.5-55.9) ` After seeing the testosterone numbers, it struck me that the torem may have left those elevated since it had only been 8 days. On February 9, I had testosterone, estradiol and SHBG re-run, showing: ` Total test: 702 (348-1197) Free test 17.5: (8.7-25.1) Estradiol, sensitive: (30.2 (8.0-35.0) SHBG: 52.5 (16.5-55.9) [/QUOTE]
