[QUOTE="meanbreen, post: 79812, member: 15604"] I have posted screenshots of my labs (also available at [URL]http://imgur.com/a/7boGI[/URL] if there are viewing issues on mobile devices). I had bloodwork peformed 6/15 and switched up my protocol from: -TEST-CYP 70mg E3.5D -HCG 500iu E3.5D -MG Citrate To: -TEST-CYP 50mg EOD -HCG 280iu EOD -MG Malate -Fish Oil Pills -25mg DHEA (GNC Oral, taken in evenings) The attached blood work was taken on 8/11, approximately 6 weeks after I altered my protocol. I am very concerned! Below I listed important variances from labs on 6/15 compared to the labs performed 8/11: *TSH increased from 1.260 to 1.330 *T4, Free decreased from from 1.29 to 1.19 *Lipid improvement (LDL decreased from 151 to 135, HDL decreased from 45 to 44) *Testosterone Increased from 648 to 949 *Free Testosterone increased from 24.7 to 29.9 *DHEA increased from 191.9 to 366.4 *Prolactin decresed from 24.4 to 14 *Estradiol increased from 27.1 (sensitive) to 40.8 (non-sensitive). This was an error by Lab-Corp, the Dr's orders were sensitive Estradiol. Nonetheless, looks like an increase of E2. *Reverse T3 increased form 14.9 to 17.2 *Free T3 decreased from 3.5 to 3.2 *Progresterone only .2 (range is 0-.5); not tested on 6/15 *SHBG decreased from 15.4 to 11.7 (was in 40's before starting TRT in March, but was on CLOMID previously however) Symptom wise - I have felt like hot shit for the past couple of weeks. I attributed that to poor sleep. I would wake each morning feeling like I had not slept all night. Very sensitive to light. I have had no morning erections for the past couple of weeks. I have had extreme bloating. Anxiety all together not too bad surprisingly. Very little energy. I stopped taking DHEA two nights ago. I had immediate improvement the next day. I am wondering if taking DHEA had a poor effect on me. If I suffer from low cortisol, perhaps the DHEA made the cortisol even lower. This would explain the decreased FT3 and increased RT3 in my opinion. My low SHBG keeps decreasing. This is pretty disturbing. I have known I had mild O.S.A for about a year now but could not sleep with a CPAP. I will be receiving a Dental Appliance which might improve my O.S.A. Perhaps that would in turn increase my SHBG. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated, and let me know if there is any information that I neglected to include. [/QUOTE]
