Labs are Back

After switching to daily injections about 8 weeks ago, time for some labs....I was on a protocol of E3.5D 50mg each/.125 Anastrozole on shot days, 300iu HCG on T shot days. New protocol 12mg daily T, no AI, 300iu HCG E3.5D. I wanted to try a daily protocol to hopefully drop the AI and spread out phlebotomy routine.

Total T before on trough 862
Total T now 903

Free T prior 28.3
Free T Now 32.8

SHBG prior 32
SHBG now 35.6

E2 prior 32.3
E2 now 36.8

I think I will stick with this another 6 week and reevaluate. It has been nice to ditch the AI. HCT and HGB were not positively impacted by going to dailies....I was really hoping for no more Phlebotomy....no such luck for me.
 
Might just need more time if it goes to work that way at all to see what HCT/HGB can balance out too.

I too have this crazy idea that E2 should mimic the SHBG value nice to see that this is working for 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.
