Greetings my fellow forum members. I have been in Testosterone Cypionate for about 6 months on a daily dosage of 16mg per day (111mg per week). I´ve just relocated to southern Spain for 6 months and have just pulled my labs while here. Two points from the results was an abnormally high Ferritin result at 420 ng/ml (range 20-250), and a low Progesterone .10 ng/ml (range .28-1.22). My Total testosterone seem average and my free is also low. I´ve attached the total result for your review. Any advise based on your experience would be greatly appreciated. thank you.

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
