[QUOTE="newguy128, post: 58103, member: 14517"] johndoesmith: Do you happen to have the other pages of the lab sheet from 11/29/16? R. That's it-one page. These are base labs to compare with my labs after 2 months on MK-677. I am slightly concerned at your 8/31/16 results, as your LH is sky high while on hCG! That indicates you are not sufficiently giving your body the testosterone it needs. R. Thanks for your concern, but maybe I am missing something here? As I figure if you inject HCG or take Clomid your LH levels will be elevated. Also I wonder if the hCG is even doing anything? R. Look at the lab results in post #9. What were your pre-treatment total testosterone and e2 levels like? R. Don't have the exact numbers right now, but Tot. T. fluctuated from around 400-600 last few years. While previously around 700-900, so big drop for me. Same with Free T. E2 has been on the high end of the scale. IGF-1 levels are really low, but may be considered normal for a guy my age. Everything declines with age. Also, your need for such high doses of AI are rather concerning, and I think it may be due to the use of hCG. R. You think 12.5mg of Aromasin EOD or every 3rd day is high? The normal Aromasin dosage is 25mg. Given my estradiol labs the 12.5mg EOD dosage seems appropriate. Clomid and HCG both increase estrogen as shown in my labs. Also might be the DHEA converting to estrogen. My 11/29/16 labs show my estrogen is at 29.9 ng/mL, which is within the Ref. Range: 8.0 - 35. So I must be doing something right with the 12.5 mg Aromasin dosage. You might not need it with TRT. R. Are you referring to the HCG or Aromasin? If I was to do the HCG/TRT combo therapy, I would think there would be a greater need for an AI like Aromasin. As both HCG and Test can cause an increase in estrogen. As a plus Aromasin increases IGF-1 levels to a degree, whereas I believe Arimidex lowers IGF-1 levels. [/QUOTE]
