First Blood Work Since Beginning TRT Injections 7 Weeks Ago

[meanbreen]

I have attached my blood work. As the title says, this is the first time that I have had BW since beginning TRT injections 7 weeks ago. My protocol is 70mg Test Cyp and 500iu HCG, both E3.5 days. No AI. I also take Magnesium Citrate and a multivitamin daily.

Things that stand out to me:
-LDL has increased by about 25 mg/dL
-DHT is pretty low
-DHEA is pretty low
-My Free T3 has improved from 3.1 to 3.5. Also, RT3 looks good.
-IGF-1 has increased quite a bit
-E2 (sensitive) is remarkably low considering I don't take an AI
-Is Ferritin of 112 high enough?
-Magnesium is pretty low, and I even supplement for it
-SHBG has dropped quite a bit
-My Prolactin is very high

I am feeling pretty good most days, though it is pretty up and down. I definitely feel like I could be feeling a lot better though.

***For whatever reason the labs aren't showing up on my mobile device. For those having a similar issue here they are again:

You're a low shbg and DHT guy. It may take a long time to get dialed in.
Some low shbg guys do daily injections of testosterone, it did help CW I believe.

Thanks Vince. Yeah I plan on bringing that up with Dr. Calkins (Defy). Is it normal for SHBG to decline this much on TRT? Prior to TRT, it was closer to 40. DHT I'm not quite as worried about, but I have seen others say that in addition to injections, they also apply some cream to the scrotum, so I may look into that into the future. I'm a little worried about the prolactin as well.
