[QUOTE="newguy128, post: 58009, member: 14517"] R. Thanks for your reply. To answer your question: [B][U][B]3/7/16: [/B]Before Clomid or HCG[/U]:[/B] [B]LH 9.49-H, mIU/mL, Ref. Range: 1.24 - 8.62. FSH: 5:04, mIU/mL, Ref. Range: 1.27 - 19.26. [/B]So looks like my body was trying to produce more Testosterone, but my T levels were not improving. And looked like I was experiencing some testicular atrophy. So I did Clomid for about two weeks, then when I received the HCG I started daily low dose HCG. I did the HCG for a week, then stopped the HCG and went back to Clomid the week prior to doing labs, so as not to skew my labs too much. [U][B]8/1/16: After Clomid/HCG my VA labs were as follows:[/B][/U] [B]LH: 14.87 H, Ref. Range: 1.24 - 8.62. FSH: 8.81 mIU/mL, Ref. Range: 1.27 - 19.26. [/B] [B][COLOR=#0000ff]Tot.

Range: 190 - 1200. (Started taking B-12 2500mcg prior to labs). So I attribute the high Tot. Test. more to the Clomid, as I did the Clomid for 3 weeks total prior to these labs. And the HCG two weeks before these labs. [B][U]8/31/16 LabCorp labs on daily low dose HCG and Aromasin[/U]:[/B] Tot. Test: 521 ng/dL, Ref. Range: 348 - 1197.

Prolactin: 18.9 High ng/mL, Ref. Range: 4.0 - 15.2. IGF-1: 44 Low, Ref. Range: 47 - 192. Estradiol, Sensitive: 34.0 pg/mL, Ref. Range: 8 - 35. Although my Tot. Test. was lower here, my Free Test. was higher on the HCG. I'm sure the Aromasin helped here also, as my estrogen levels were lower, but within range. I recently started Cabergoline .25mg twice a week to reduce my prolactin levels. [/QUOTE]
