[QUOTE="Esq, post: 93664, member: 15250"] My first labs since starting TRT came back last week, and are attached. As a reminder, I'm on 64mg test E3.5 (128mg/week), 0.125mg anastrozole EOD, and 400iu HCG E3.5. A few things jump out at me. . * Total testosterone at 1278 ng/dL seems a little high for a trough value? * Free test is above range at 37.9 pg/mL, but not crazy high. * Pre-trt, I had relatively high SHBG in the mid-50's, and that's now down to 41.4 nmol/L. * Sensitive e2 at 21.4 pg/mL is perhaps too low, especially with test levels that high. I have been having some joint pain and other very minor low e2 symptoms. * DHEA-Sulfate is still high at 623.9 ug/dL, but is actually down a bit from pre-TRT levels of 640+. . The CBC and metabolic panel numbers appear in good shape to me. I'm thinking I may need to lower both test and AI dosages a tad, but we'll see what Dr. Saya thinks when we talk in a few weeks. . Other than the very minor low e2 symtpoms I've felt the past few weeks, I otherwise feel pretty good and significantly better than before TRT. Not necessarily 100%, but maybe 80-85% of the way there. The acne issues and oily skin from early on have pretty much cleared up entirely, libido, energy, and strength are up, body composition continues to improve, and my sleep has been very good (AHI numbers for my sleep apnea are at the lowest levels ever - could be from getting better adjusted to the CPAP but the numbers have been improving the longer I've been on TRT). . Thoughts or suggestions based on my labs? My only complaint is that my HCG seemed less effective the longer I was on it. Possibly losing some potency after 60 days or so? Hopefully the fresh batch coming (hopefully) soon gets the boys plump again. [/QUOTE]
