[QUOTE="You Gonna Learn Today, post: 35345, member: 13086"] I was seeing a Urologist in the Houston area, but after a year on treatment of 200mg of Testosterone Cypionate every two weeks and nothing else I was not seeing any improvements and my TT only increased by 14 points (from 296 to 310). I was still feeling like crap and sometimes even feeling worse than before I started treatment. I decided to switch doctors and heard of Dr. Larry Lipshultz so I've started seeing him. He has me on 200mg of Testosterone Cypionate every week, along with HcG 75 units per week. Everything is going well, I'm feeling fantastic, and my numbers have finally increased! I finally have energy again to work out and now have high motivation to eat very clean each day since I'm now seeing results in my body composition and weight training! Feeling like I was in my 20's again!!! [U]Full Labs are as follows (taken 4 days after injection of 200mg Test Cyp only):[/U] Testosterone Level = 1,309 ng/dl SHBG = 19 Calc Free Testosterone = 42 ng/dl Somatomedin-C = 182 ng/ml Hemoglobin = 16.1 g/dl Hematocrit = 48% Prolactin = 9.2 ng/ml DHT = 513 pg/ml DHEA-S = 1,498 (not sure what the measurement unit is, doesn't say) Estradiol = 11 ng/dl FSH = 0.26 mlU/ml LH = 0.40 mlU/ml With Estradiol at 11 ng/dl, isn't that pretty high? Doesn't that come out to 110 pg/ml? The first two weeks were amazing! Had about 5 night wood episodes per night and was feeling awesome.
