I'm a 41 year old who went through 4-5 months of HCG monotherapy to little effect, and two months ago switched to 60 mg test cyp 2X/week and 750 IU HCG.
It took almost two months to feel much difference, but my total test zoomed up to 1010 ng/dl and free test went to 2.8 (range= 0.87 to 5.47 according to lab). My estradiol was a bit high at 64.0 (range = 20- 75). I feel a lot better. Not perfect, but a lot better.
Since my symptoms of fatigue have not completely gone away, I wonder what anyone's thoughts are on my slightly older (april- June) cortisol, thyroids, IgF, and DHEA.
My total cortisol, total was 9.8 (range is ?? 5-23 I think)
TSH was 1.8
T3 was 32 (22-35 range)
T4 total 6.8 (4.5- 12.0)
free T4 index (T7) was 2.2 (1.4- 3.8)
My DHEA- S was 184 (70-495 range)
my IGF-1 was 126 (53-328 range)
My doctor seems to think that these are all perfectly normal but I wonder what anyone's thoughts are.
I know very little about these, but I wonder if any of these could be optimized in order to deal with the residual fatigue issues. (Note: i really don't understand thyroid values, and there is a buttload of thyroid dysfunction in my family- hypo and hyper in 5 of my siblings).
thanks
