2 Month Blood Test Results

9 weeks in and feel pretty good. 200 mg test-c injected once weekly currently with 1 mg arimidex injected with T.

TT 650 (300-900)
E2 22 (10-30)
LH 2.5 (1.8-8.6)
Hemocrit 47 (40-52)
Hemoglobin 16.5 (13.5-17.5)

One thing I have noticed is my sex drive has regressed in the last 2-3 weeks. And I noticed my LH is still low. Is there a way to increase that. It was only 1.0 prior to T, so it was in the tank already. Should I ask about HCG? Will the LH continue to rise as I do TRT longer?

I don’t know where to start

I don’t think once weekly dosing is going to work for you, levels peak and 7 days later hormones are lower and over time some men will start to lose benefits because hormones fluctuating too much.

You need more frequent injections to minimize these fluctuations and then your body should respond to TRT better. Men with natural healthy T don’t see more than a 200 ng/dL in either direction.

No free testosterone labs, so there is no way to know how much test is bioavailable and therefore these labs are almost useless.

TRT supresses LH which stimulate the testicles to produce T, you’re on TRT and LH should be almost fully suppressed, exogenous T supresses the HPTA and therefore LH. No need to test LH anymore. I don’t know why your doctor even bothered testing LH

I’m inclined to believe LH labs are in error. I would like to know when labs are drawn in relation to your injection?

Still early in the game.

I agree with systemlord on this.

If you are currently trying to conceive.

Nope, it will bottom out, as mentioned, don’t spend the money on the test.

Way too early to move to a different injection frequency. You likely will not need to. If anything, I’d be looking to decrease or eliminate the AI.

I constantly read about HCG being used only if you want to conceive, but I find it to be not just be about that or cosmetic. My balls are part of the sexual experience. Some chicks like sucking and playing with them. But mainly my ejaculate has more fluidity to it. Its the only reason why I decided to use it. I do agree with Systemlord on you needing either biweekly or daily injections. Im on bi weekly and will stick with it, but I might try daily injections in a few months to see if I get more improvements in quality.

I was gonna write ā€œTMIā€ but then I realized I’m just jealous. :laughing:

Good to know thanks all. I’ve had my kids and had a vasectomy so balls are for show only.

Same. Same.

Ah the world of the single man.

My wife would suck on my ball, not really my thing but I’d let her as she seemed to like it. Somehow it came up in conversation about two weeks ago and I mentioned it doesn’t do much for me, responded ā€˜i don’t have to do that anymore, great’ she just did it cause she thought I was into in, I let her do it cause I thought she was into it.
