[QUOTE="DragonBits, post: 153077, member: 18023"] In the past, meaning for ~5 years on Nebido starting in 2009, I only tested total T and free T, a couple of PSA tests (2.28 – 2.78), a bunch of lipid tests, nothing else. So I could give you a couple of total T / Free T readings and lipid tests, but I am thinking that wouldn’t be useful to anyone. [B]To address your question: [/B] I had one blood test in 7/ 2018 16 days after injecting Nebido but before HCG or anything else. Total T 1389 Free T 28.4 E2 56.2 SHBG N/A Then I had one test 9/2018 that was 109 days after Nebido, with HCG, but I was also probably using a T cream. At this point I am not sure about the cream, and I was supplementing DHEA/Preg. Total T 690 Free T 20.7 E2 20.3 SHBG 41.1 PSA 3.9. Since my PSA went up from a base of 2.4 before TRT/HCG to 3.9, I cut out everything outside of the Nebido. I ordered a number of PSA/Hormone tests after 9/2018, but I changed up everything with the single goal of reducing my PSA while maintaining a high total T level. Once my PSA got down to 3.2 on 4/2019, I went back to my new normal protocol. Since that time I have gotten a number of blood tests (one total T / free T test) for my own reasons, I doubt they are related to TRT. Aldosterone, Omega 3 Index Complete (breakdown of all fatty acids in serum). Glucose Tolerance Test with Insulin (8 specimens), Progesterone, NMR LipoProfile®, today I got a blood draw for lipids / Vitamin D, 25-Hydroxyand and last but not least, a new calcium heart scan. All interesting, but not pertinent to your question. I was going to do a more complete hormone test sometime in August, but after that assuming noting is out of whack, I am thinking of moving to yearly blood tests, assuming I can do it my way. If my Primary doctor or urologist wants me to take a test and writes the order in such a way that medicare pays for it, I am OK with doing it. Today's blood draw was for my primary doc. [/QUOTE]
