TSH and fT3 are great. Expect that oral body temps will be good. See below. Body temps are the bottom line for thyroid. Keep using iodized salt and stay away from sea salt.
Suggest that you not take any thyroid hormones, your body will simply reduce your own production. Why risk upsetting the apple cart.
Your TT and FT are quite decent. E2 is elevated. Without TRT, .25mg anastrozole twice a week might improve your natural T levels and allow for fat loss and better fat patters. Might improve mood, libido and energy. On gear, take 0.5mg anastrozole with each T injection, 0.75 might be required to be near E2=22pg/ml.
hCG and T are synergistic. I would not throw that much $hGH$ at pre cycle T levels.
You really might not need to get on cycle. You might upset things then need TRT which is forever.
40mg Nolvadex is just the kind of bad advice we always see. It will create a large amount of testicular T–>E2 that anastrozole cannot manage at any dose and no hope for Aromasin. See the logic in the HPTA restart sticky.
PCT needs an AI, but as a above, cannot be managed with larger SERM doses. Do read as I suggested.
If you inject T, 75mg twice a week, subq not IM, take AI at that time.
During T injections LH/FSH–>zero and tests can shrink and may ache. 250iu hCG subq EOD will protect, then PCT is not recovery of the testes but only getting pituitary back in the game.
Yes T4 is below midrange. fT3 is great, do check body temperatures. fT3 is the only active thyroid hormone. There is no receptor for T4. TSH thinks that things are great. Your fT4–>fT3 conversion is very efficient.
HTC-50.1 is quite strong. Injecting T will make that higher and you should be doing blood donations. Injecting T sometimes sets off a HTC cascade that is a major problem. Avoid all iron fortified foods: rice, pasta, breads, mixes, cereals…]
RBC seems OK, considering above, part of HTC could be from dehydration. Was this fasting lab work?

Evaluate your overall thyroid function by checking oral body temperatures as per the thyroid basics sticky. Thyroid hormone fT3 is what gets the job done and it regulates mitochondrial activity, the source of ATP which is the universal currency of cellular energy. This is part of the body’s temperature control loop. This can get messed up if you are iodine deficient. In many countries, you need to be using iodized salt. Other countries add iodine to dairy or bread.

I can be a bit abrupt in my replies and recommendations. I have a lot of ground to cover as this forum has become much more active in the last two years. I can’t follow threads that go deep over time. You need to respond to all of my points and requests as soon as possible before you fall off of my radar. The worse problems are guys who ignore issues re Thyroid, body temperatures, history of iodized salt. Please do not piss people off saying that lab results are normal, we need lab numbers and ranges.
The value that you get out of this process and forum depends on your effort and performance. The bulk of your learning is reading/studying the suggested stickies.
