[QUOTE="rayrock1, post: 187158, member: 31104"] My blood results from 100mg Test Cyp only ,once weekly injections, after one month time, tested on trough day was as follows, this was from my Dr's own in house lab; [U]Dr's in house lab results;[/U] Hemocrit 50.4 range; [40-54] Total T 524 [193-740 ng/dl] Free T 7.9 [2.9-20.7 ng/dl] Bioavailable T 231 [15-575 ng/dl] Estradiol 15 [11-43 pg/ml ] SHGB 47 [19-76 nmol/l] At this Dr visit, I complained of achy testicles, so my Dr put my on HCG, 500iu/week, split into 2 injections. I also complained of feeling a slump after the first 3 days had passed, on the once injection per week schedule, so he also increased my test dosage to 120 mg/week and suggested to also split the dose as well, into 2 injections per week e3.5d. On the following month, I returned to the Dr. I told him that I split the dosage on the Test as he recommended but left the dosage per week the same ,at the 100 mg, and initiated the 500 iu HCG as he suggested. I did not want to change to many variables and figured he would retest to see where things were with the dosage split at e3.5d and the HCG addition. The Dr. did not want to retest, as he said, nothing in the Test dosage had changed. I told him my Testicles were still an issue and I still felt a slump the day before and day of my injection day. He suggested to increase my HCG to 700iu/week and my Test Cyp. to 140 mg/week, still injecting e3.5d. I decided to modify his suggestions once again, bad patient I quess, to increase the HCG to only 600iu/week and my Test Cyp to 120 mg/week injecting e3.5d, and try it for another month before increasing to the dosages he recommended. At this months end, the lab results were as follows from a different lab, Quest Lab [U]Quest Labs;[/U] Hemocrit 50.3 range; [38-50] Total T 1296 [250-827 ng/dl ] Free T 132 [46-224 pg/ml ] Bioavailable T 300 [110-575 ng/dl ] Estradiol [35384-7] 57 [0-29 pg/ml] SHGB 55 [10-50 nmol/l ] Can these values actually be possible? His in house lab had my values so much lower, while Test Cyp level was only changed 20 percent. Also I read, that dosages of HCG below 700 iu per week had minimal impact on Testosterone levels? is this not the case? Does Quest lab calculate testosterone and estradiol levels differently some how? While waiting for the blood test results, I went ahead and increased my dosage of HCG and Test Cyp to what the Dr recommended as I was still getting a slight testicle ache and still had the slump feeling on the day before my injection, thinking he was probably right, and should have done so all along, not imagining my total Testosterone level would come back from the new lab, to be at 1200 plus already. Ironically, after doing so, [700 iu HCG and 140mg Test], I had the best week since I started TRT treatment. I feel more calm, great libido and more leveled out. Can't imagine what my blood levels will be at these dosages............................ Any suggestions? Thank you for your help. [/QUOTE]
