Hey, everyone.
I wanted to see if ya'll could take a look at my latest labs and let me know if you see anything that stands out. Details about my protocol are as follows: 200mg Testosterone Cypionate (50ml E3.5D) - pinning with 28g 1/2" shallow intramuscular in my delts & 500 iu HCG (25ml E3.5D) - pinning with 31g 1/2" subq into stomach fat. I had stopped taking my .25mg Anastrozole, which I was told to take twice per week by my doctor but I was trying to go based on feeling and not a set frequency. This is obviously why my Estradiol level was up a bit higher than the standard. I have felt some tenderness in my nipples and not getting as much night wood lately, so I just started taking my Anastrozole again. Hopefully that clears that up in the coming weeks.

Overall, I've been feeling really well. Good energy, no fogginess, good workouts, and libido is great. I don't know too much about LH and FSH. Can someone shine some light on those for me, please?

I told my doc about my bad back acne and he prescribed me 100mg of Minocycline twice per day. I've tried all over the counter stuff and it's not working. My scalp acne stopped after using Nizoral, but I couldn't seem to control my back acne for anything.

Anyhow, on to my labs:
