Did a Marek basic male hormone panel through Labcorp on 5/7/21 and got the results back today. I have been doing my own blood work via Labcorp for 4 years now and started off posting on here years ago. I am 38, 5'7" 145-146 (on a lean bulk, lost a bit of weight in the pandemic). Lift 4-5 times a week, run trails 1-2 times a week (1-2 miles at a time, will walk 1-5 miles sometimes)
I also did a sleep study a couple of months ago, no sleep apnea was found, but I never get N3 sleep, I just cycle from N2 to REM over and over, and my results from a home study in 2019 were similar. Platelets have been low for 4 years, they just keep trending lower and lower. I see a hematologist for this, he has not been concerned yet, his NP seems more concerned.
Never alcohol, never recreational drugs, no AAS history but did take prohormones norandrostienedione19 back in 03 or 04 when it was legal. Was on SSRI drugs for 20 years, got off of them in 2018 to try to help with T levels and to improve sex drive.
Other wild cards: Arachnoid cyst and venous angioma in the brain, found this out in 2002, have never followed up on it.
Meds: Cialis 5-20mg depending, Sildenafil 100mg depending. Have switched more to running daily 5ishmg Cialis, with 20mg on demand, or will run 100mg Sildenafil the day after a 5mg cialis if having sexy time. The somewhat daily use Cialis started this year, whereas before I was just using it more on demand. I wonder if it crashed my E2.
Supplements: Lipsomal Vitamin C 1800mg, Vitamin D3 4000IU, Optizinc w/ Copper 30-60mg, Maca Root 10g, B6 50mg, Krill Oil (I used this a lot in 2018, got back on it about a month before this recent blood work), L Citrulline Malate used to be used 4-6 times a week, have barely used it for awhile.
I left off some of the basic stuff but my platelets were 116 & 110 2 months ago, have been low for 4 years, triglycerides were 117, had them at 63-65 mid last year, in the 80's back in Nov.
Vitamin B12 912 pg/mL 232-1245 01 (1732 last year, stopped supplements and went down to 1252 in Nov, was in the 280's in 2017, got it to over 1100 with supplements & didnt test for years)
Folate (Folic Acid), Serum 7.0 ng/mL >3.0 (was in the 3's back in August)
A1C 5.0 (has been 5.0 on every test over the last 4 years)
DHEA-Sulfate 264.0 ug/dL 102.6-416.3 01 (244 in Aug, 309 in 2017)
Cortisol 12.4 ug/dL Cortisol AM 6.2 - 19.4
Testosterone, Serum 382 ng/dL 264-916 (429 (348-1197 same lab) in 2017 when sedentary & undereating at 122 lbs, 454 once I started working out with noob gains in mid 2017, 473 after that, 417 mid 2018, 358 in 2018 the day after a handjob lol, 410 jan 2020, 349 in Aug)
Free Testosterone 9.6 pg/mL 8.7-25.1 (6.4 Low in Aug, 12.1 Jan 2020, 10.4 in 2018, 8.9 in 2018, 11.4 in 2017, 11.3 in 2017, 9.27 when sedentary)
LH 3.4 (it has always been in the 3's except once it was in the mid 4's)
FSH 3.3 (has been as low as 2.7, mostly in the 3's)
Prolactin 8.5 ng/mL 4.0-15.2 (10.9 in 2017)
Estradiol 8.4 pg/mL 7.6-42.6 (18.7 in August 2020, 13.4 8.0-35 Sensitive in 2018, 14.3 on sensitive in 2017)
PSA 0.8 (always 0.7-0.8)
IGF-1 190 90-278 (189 2 months ago)
Vitamin D 89.5 ng/mL 30.0-100.0 (was 81.6 in aug, 98.6 in 2018, 28 in 2017 before supplement)
Magnesium 2.0 mg/dL 1.6-2.3
Progesterone 0.4 ng/mL 0.0-0.5
Ferritin, Serum 100 ng/mL 30-400 (has been as low as 75, never goes above 100-130 across several tests)
TSH 2.580 uIU/mL 0.450-4.500 (is always 1.9 to 2+, has been as high as 2.9)
T3 Free 3.7 pg/mL 2.0-4.4 (usually stays in this range)
SHBG 27.2 nmol/L 16.5-55.9 (26.1 in 2017)
Have done other stuff back in August. like Reverse T3 (22.8 ng/dL 9.2-24.1) Thyroid Antibodies, TIBC, UIBC etc.
I am wanting to run 90iu HGH for 45-90 days to help with my sleep and heal some things, as well as BPC 157, TB500 (have run BPC before with some success), and if it's the right move, TRT with HCG. Fixing b12, vitamin d, maca, zinc, calorie surplus, healthy fats like olive oil, more red meat, working out which progressed into deadlifts & squats over time, regular sexual relationship etc has made fuck all of a difference, so I need to make a decision here.
