Hey guys, need a little help interpreting my blood work.
A little history,
I’ve ran several cycles over the years, did blast and cruise for a while, but decided to drop down to trt levels as I’m more concerned with health and feeling good than being the biggest I can these days.
I’ve been on 150mg test cyp split into 2 injections a week (tuesday and friday) and 250 of hcg every other day. I’ve been running this protocol for about 6 weeks, was running 250mg of cyp along with the hcg for a few months prior.
I haven’t taken any adex in this 6 week frame because I felt my e2 levels were crashed and it looks like I was right about that.
I got bloodwork on Friday before my shot.
My blood work shows…
RBC 5.89 (little high) range 4.14-5.80
Hemaglobin 17.8 (little high) range 13.0-17.7
Hematocrit 50.7 range 37.5-51
Testosterone 435 range 264-916
Free test 15.3 range 8.7-25.1
T4 1.23 range .82-1.77
DHEA sulfate 332.3 range 138.5-475.2
TSH 1.14 range .45-4.5
LH <0.2 range 1.7-8.6
FSH <.02 range 1.5-12.4
Prolactin 18.7 (high) range 4.0-15.2
Estradiol, sensitive <2.5 (low) range 8-35
Progesterone .3 range 0-.5
T3 3.2 range 2-4.4
SHBG 18.4 range 16.5-55.9
Where do I go from here? Looks like I’ve got myself in a mess. I can tell my energy is down, I’m foggy headed, and have nearly no libido. Oddly enough, training is still ok though.
Any advice? Thanks guys.

Hi SouthernxGun, Danny here from UK & good too meet you. Testosterone 435 Lab’s Range 264-916 Your blood Result value of 435 ng/DL for 150mg of Test-Cypionate twice per week split, that makes ZERO sense and is AWFUL value buddy for what you’re putting inside your system.
Maybe your Androgen receptors are all Exhausted from Steroid cycles in the past i don’t know Brother. Also what time did you take the Blood work, if it is at 8:30AM to 9:30AM then i am completely Dumb founded why you ended up with only 435 NG/DL of 150mg of Pure Testosterone shots per week??
if you took this blood test at 4 pm to 5 PM in late afternoon, it’s kinda possible. but really should still be around 650 to 750 at your Dosage which is more than the Standard 100mg 50mg twice weekly.
I wish i had more Knowledge to tell you exactly what’s going on. KSman or SystemLord might have an idea. I do think maybe all your Androgen Receptors could be Maybe Burned out though bro. @KSman @systemlord
Oh I took the test around 4 pm. I was thinking that was awfully low as well and am completely confused by it. Thanks for the response my friend

Still low at 4PM Brother Gun, especially if you ain’t on the TROUGH day of Cypionate ester which is day 6 or 7th day. if it’s only first few days should of been at 650 to 820 Testosterone lvl at time of your test though.
Also since you took no A.I arimidex on the whole 6-week i am quite Confused bro how come your Estrogen would crash. do you have an idea why that is.
No idea. I’m as confused by it as you. I’m confused by these labs in general. I dropped from 250mg to 150mg on the test because I started getting nipple sensitivity so I knew I was too high. I didn’t take any Adex though except for a .25mg dose right when I dropped my test dose.

Are you an Hyper Metabolizer Perhaps of Estrogen(E2) It’s crazy how your estrogen can go so low on T.R.T i thought it be better number on Testosterone Therapy i bet before T.R.T your estrogen was a more better number.
Myself i ain’t had proper bloods yet. need to soon though. will let you know how that goes bro.
Your SHBG is low enough to where you should be injecting smaller doses every other day, RBC, hemoglobin and hematocrit will decrease in smaller more frequent dosing.
My SHBG is the same as yours and I had the same problem injecting moderate doses twice-weekly, RBC, hemoglobin and hematocrit we’re at the top of the range.
Injecting smaller doses EOD will give you higher more stable free testosterone without the sides of higher RBC and hemoglobin levels and you will feel better. Estrogen will be lower and better managed allowing you to reduce or eliminate the AI all together.
Oh wow. Thank you so much. I’ll swirch my dosing schedule to EOD. When would you recommend getting bloodwork done with that kind of schedule? On an off day?
