Done a few cycles in my late 20’s (with proper PCT and nothing too crazy) Although I never have gotten a full panel blood test till a few weeks ago
Few weeks ago I went to a TRT doc and he drew all the labs (posted below) his protocol is 150mg week/ 1mg Adex every 2 weeks/ Sublingual HCG 500iu week. I understand this protocol is less than desirable but I believe he is open to changing the HCG to injections and I’ll divide the Adex up myself. I see him again tomorrow and will voice my concerns.
After doing more research on this forum I have also come to the conclusion I may have Hypothyroidism and am going to be starting the protocol for that this week. I’ve always had a low temp (I know this because I have young ones and when testing the thermometer on myself I have never been above 97.5f. Thinning of outer eyebrows and the other symptoms that go along with thyroid/Low T issues.
Last but not least a couple of points on my blood work:
-I’ve always had high ALT values, had and ultrasound done and confirmed a “fatty liver”
-Cholesterol and LDL have always been elevated even when on a strict diet and also in my younger years when I was in the best shape of my life in the military.
-Not sure why my B12 is elevated (I don’t take supplements)
-Estradiol is extremely low. haven’t cycled or done a PCT in ~6yrs
-Free Test is also low which I expected
-The blood work was done at 2pm and I was not fasting
Just wanted to post this to have some of you guys look it over and reinsure me I’m looking at this the right way. Thanks for your time!
