Hi,
So first time user, healthy individual 50 yr old no health issues, just experiencing age related test decline symptoms, decided to run test e 250, 1ml every week for 12 weeks to guage tolerance and see if I wanted to then progress to TRT for life. The vials contain anywhere between 180 - 200ml of test-e as you know. My before and after bloods at 8 weeks are below.
As you can see prior my free test was non existent + high SHBG contributing to symptoms and my lipds were in great shape but after, my test and free are in a great range but by LDL is atrocious. Estradiol is high at 347 and had to use some nolva i had to assist with itching and such. All of this points to me that my body needs a lower dose.
Free - 0.2 > 0.8
SHBG - 51.2 > 9.2
Test - 13.9 > 24.4
LDL 1.8 > 8.7
HDL 1.0 > 0.9
Colesterol 3.1 > 9.4
Can someone chuck their throughts in as I see 2 courses of action.
1) Stop now, take phytols, red yeast rice and fibre / cardio etc to assist in getting lipids back to normal asap. Get bloods tested and if ok then try again with a lower does of 100mg a week, maybe as 2 x 50mg sub q.
2) Or wait two weeks since injection, then drop to 100mg a week single injection and continue with a retest for lipids / bloods at week 12
Thanks in advance
