On .10-12ml of test (20-24mg) and 100iu HCG I day I had:
Total T (MS): 1320 (ref 250-1100ng/dL)
Free T (Dialysis): 211.2 (ref 35.0-155.0 pg/mL)
E2 (ultrasensitive) was always in the low 50s
All done at Quest.
I had one bloodwork done where I was using .8-.10ml of test with 1192 total and a higher 235.4 free T, but these things fluctuate so I’m assuming that would account for that. Still all on daily micro subQ injections.
Interestingly enough, I had a very bad reaction to pure slow release T3 on the same test and HCG doses which shot my free T up to 309.4 and my E2 up to 90ish and felt like complete crap and like I had the TRT plug pulled from me. An AI didn’t help. Stopping T3 did. Speaking with my docs and looking into it and my history, seems like in that case I blew through either my iron or cortisol stores or both, having a poor history on both ends so it could have been either one. Experimented with cortisol and that did help a lot, but still blew through my stores of something, so I’m hoping that’s iron and my current iron supplement and diet protocol will help.
