[QUOTE="Esq, post: 68787, member: 15250"] All my labs (except the cortisol x4 test) came back today. Some interesting results. Testosterone: 1104 ng/dL (348-1197) Free test (direct): 30.5 pg/mL (8.7-25.1) Estradiol, sensitive: 68.3 pg/mL (8.0-35.0) SHGB, serum: 67.5 nmol/L (16.5-55.9) LH: 7.6 mIU/mL (1.7-8.6) FSH: 11.3 mIU/mL (1.5-12.4) DHT: 105 ng/dL (no reference range given, but flagged as HIGH) DHEA-Sulfate: 669.1 ug/dL (102.6-416.3) ACTH, plasma: 25.1 pg/mL (7.2-63.3) Prolactin: 6.1 ng/mL (4.0-15.2) IGF-1: 189 ng/mL: (88-246) Progesterone: 0.4 ng/mL (0.0-0.5) My observations - the first things that jumped out at me (other than total test going from 702 to 1104 and free test from 17.5 to 30.5), is that my sensitive estradiol shot up from 30.2 to 68.3 and SHBG went from 52.5 to 67.5. I immediately called Defy to see if I need to get on an AI stat (next consult with Dr. Saya isn't until May 1), and am waiting to hear back. - DHT is high, but without a reference range I don't know how high and frankly I don't know what high DHT means. Is that something I should be concerned about, at least until I have my next consult? - DHEA sulfate remains high, but was at 642 on my last labs. It has gone up some. I'm sure we'll cover this in the next consult. - FSH, LH, ACTH, prolactin, IGF-1, and progesterone are all within range, but I have no idea if those values are optimal or not. - Clearly I have responded to the low-dose clomid in a big way, at least based on the numbers. I wonder if the reason I'm not feeling any better is my estradiol shooting up? Is SHBG too high, even with relatively high free test numbers? I welcome any input. [/QUOTE]
