[QUOTE="meanbreen, post: 108173, member: 15604"] Got labs back. Labs from 5/18 vs labs 3 months ago when I was feeling a lot better (I have only been feeling bad for the past 10 days or so, thought I crashed estrogen from AI use): -Hemoglobin up to 16, previously 15 -WBC up to 7.5 from 7.0 -Sodium down to 137 from 143 (134-144); sodium is always near 144, never this low (not sure if significant) -Ferritin low 100's, Iron Sat% 60% (this is always high like this; no change from last labs). If Ferritin was also high I would be more concerned. For now, I will just keep an eye on this. -Vit D down to 43 from 62 (WTF its summer now!) -DHT down to 42 from 47 -Estradiol, sensitive, up to 32 from 26 (I thought I was suffering from low E symptoms!! -Reverse T3 up to 21.2, was 19.2; Free T3 down to 4.0, was 4.5 (range 2-4.4) -high but in range fasting insulin, yet A1C below range of 4.7; fasting glucose 85 -CRP is <.3 which is really nice to see -SHBG has gone down from 22 to 15. This part is pretty disapointing as I had gotten my SHBG up from about 11 to 22. I guess this could be in part due to my decreased thyroid state. How I feel: -good libido still -wood not amazing but okay -anxiety has been worse -ability to handle stress. I feel like this has been really bad the last couple of weeks. DHEA tested about the same though. -sleep has been oddly good in spite of everything else -my body hurts. no strength, joints, bones hurt. This pointed to low E for me, but clearly that wasn't the case. (maybe decreased Vit D?) Protocol: -.26mg TC daily -430iu hCG E3D (1k iu / wk) -I took .125mg Arimidex every 3.5D in month of April. I took my AI after getting the above labs, so this E2 was technically at its high point. That is the last AI I have taken (5/18) -Thyroid 2 grains daily -B complex daily, magnesium daily -I have decreased my Vit D supplement from 5kiu ED to twice a week since I figured I would be getting more sunlight. I think I will start taking it daily again. Thanks for anyone who took time to read that. [/QUOTE]
