[QUOTE="Vettester Chris, post: 67573, member: 696"] Hi Matt, thanks for getting back and posting the labs. Real quick, you setup two (2) memberships, one under Matt, one under Mathew. If there's a problem with your first account that your originally posted, please let myself or one of our other staff members know, thanks! Triglycerides are quite high as you know. Is there anything immediate in your diet that you can attribute this to? Sugars, high carbs?? RBC's and HCT is just starting to get to the outside of reference range. Would be good to look into donating blood. Total test is LOW for 100mg/wk. Were you on your TRT protocol when drawing these labs? Do you remember when your last draw was in relation to these labs (1 hour, 1 day, 7 days?) PSA is excellent!! Both estradiol assays are high. To really gauge the accuracy of measurement we need to see this on a Sensitive or Ultra-Sensitive platform. I honestly believe that will register "High" as well, but trying to set a program and goal to manage your serum levels will be significantly easier, and more successful with an assay designed for adult males. Vitamin D at 42ng/ml ... IMO, optimal Vitamin D serum levels will be achieved somewhere in the 60 to 80 range. 5,000iu/day usually put me at 75 on the last labs. You could also talk to your physician about Drisdol, which I initially did 1x/week for about 6 weeks, then my doctor just had me on OTC D3. Not seeing anything on thyroid ... Need Free T3, Free T4, Reverse T3, TSH and antibodes, TPO & TgAb. Iron serum, TIBC, ferritin, B12. Also, DHEA at 141 is quite low, but I would do ANYTHING in this area until you get your E2 under control. This could also be a marker for other imbalances in the adrenals; possibly in a maladaptation phase ... All just speculation, but a 24 hour saliva kit with Cortisol and DHEA correlation will tell the story on your circadian profile.[B] Just saw TSH[/B], one would expect the other primary thyroid labs would be in the optimal zone, if only the TSH by itself had any reliability. I've seen females with estrogen dominance that have severe hypothyroidism, meaning in the tank, below reference range on FT4 and FT3, and their TSH is < 1.0. I suspect that actual active thyroid hormone levels are going to be low, and/or pooling can be problematic when iron is off, adrenals are off, and even some of the electrolytes and D3 can play into this.
