Quick back ground. 41 year old male that started trt 6-17-17 with Universal Men's Clinic. Never felt right they crashed my e2 and never figured out anastrozole was a problem for Me.

Anyways, 6-17-17 until October 2017 was using injections, then cream until my last application was 5-19-18 when I was finally given option to get out of stupid contract with them.

Blood draw was 6-20-18 ( 4 1/2 weeks after last application.

Tt 194 ng/dL 264-916 low as expected. But actually better than I thought it would be.
Free t 6.6 pg/ml 6.8-21.5 same thoughts as above.
Estradiol sensitive 9.5 pg/ml 8-35
LH 2.2 mIU/ml 1.7-8.6
Psa .6 ng/ml 0.0-4.0
Igf 92 ng/ml 75-216
SHBG 32 nmol/L 16.5-55.9
DHEA 308.1 ug/dl 102.6-416.3

Of concern to me

Total cholesterol 164 good
HDL 38 low
Triglycerides 521 YIKES!! Diet and exercise not been that great for last few months, but still.

Platelets 144 (low) x10E3/ul 150-379. Don't know what this means. Do take Advil and had several headaches before (days leading up) blood draw so took some several times.

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
