Help me understand BW

[ridedivefx]

Hello All,

I have been doing a lot of reading and decided to introduce myself and my recent BW. I am 37 years of age working out since my teens. Otherwise healthy play squash etc or so I thought.

The reson I ventured into looking at TRT is because my injuries are taking longer to recover, I hurt easily, my libido and sex drive is low, urge to workout is declining and just feel low energy or lazy over all and recently my appetite has hit rock bottom

Below BW i took in 2014

Total T: 338.5 ng/dl ref 260 - 1000
11.75 nmol/L

Prolactin 13.8 ng/ml ref 4 - 15.2
Estradiol 50 pmol/L ref 40 -162

I was then advised to do a full BW and I did as of this week Feb 2015

Hematocrit 52.1 HIGH 37.5-51.0 %
RDW 12.0 LOW 12.3-15.4 %

Testosterone 310 LOW 348-1197 ng/dL
Free Testosterone 7.0 LOW 8.7-25.1 pg/mL
Dihydrotestosterone 30 ng/dL

Estradiol, Sensitive 5 3-70 pg/mL

DHEA 242.3 102.6-416.3 ug/dL
TSH 2.210 0.450-4.500 uIU/mL
LH 4.6 1.7-8.6 mIU/mL
FSH 2.1 1.5-12.4 mIU/mL
Prolactin 10.8 4.0-15.2 ng/mL
PSA 0.6 0.0-4.0 ng/mL

What do I make of the numbers above. I know my Test is low and so is free test but if any one can chime on LH, FSH etc

Attached is the full report for anyone kind enough to see and advise.

I was looking at 25mg to 50mg of Prop EOD OR 40mg to 50mg of testE E3D to be around the 800-900 range of total test and hopefully 300 range for free test.

80+ reviews and no replies. I am sure there must be some one out here you can simply this for me. I am not a total newb so a higher level explanation would be good enough

I’m no expert , but I know TRT has really helped me. Your Total T is low and your Estradiol some would say is high. I try to keep my T levels in the upper range of the considered normal and my Estradiol between 20 & 30.

Also every time I visit my TRT doc I take the ADAM questionnaire to give him a better idea on where I’m at.

200mg of Test Cyp a week puts me above 1100 for Total T, but everybody reacts differently.

Were you using testosterone or anabolic steroids in the past? Why is your hematocrit high if not? Are you taking any supplements that may be increasing your bilirubin?

I would consider 50 mg of testosterone cyp or enanthate twice per week and also add DHEA at 50 mg/day to increase both your estradiol and DHEA.

Your ferritin is high also. You may want to do donate some blood.

LH, FSH and TSH look OK.

Thank you Phoenix and Nelson.

@nelson, I have used test in the past but for bodybuilding cylces with proper PCT coming off. Only 8-10 weeks at at time ending with nolva and clomid for 4 weeks and off for a while. Right now I have been off for a long time.

I was using hgh but nothing else to increase my Blood count. And same for bilirubin, I dont drink but I love red meat. Wait I also take more often then not execdrin migrane (pain killer for migrane) 3 tabs at a time but other than this I cant see anything. I eat fish oil and extra virgin olive oil and no other supplement. Should I supplement with Liv52?

I just started yesterday 25mg test prop eod (total of 87.5) along the lines from Dr. Crisler that have reducded their recommendation from 100/week to 70+/- per week stating its better to build up rather than have sides and taper down. EOD is pinning is perfectly fine with me and will do 150 hcg eod also.

I will look into donating blood asap. Thank you so much for your input.
