Morning Folks! Wanted to throw up these before/after 6 month numbers. Appointment to review with my urologist is next week, so any input or ideas is very welcomed. Doc has me at 150mg/week, I split it to 100mg every 5 days. Was having a bit of mood swing crashes every 7 days, feel great at 5.

Quick notes and questions:
Red blood count small increase 4.91 → 5.26
estradiol big jump along with free and total T big jumps (most likely too high?)
LDL a tad high, start supplementing with red yeast rice?
Diet, cardio and training have been on point. What can I do to lower the LDL a bit? (read about red yeast rice supplementation)
I am a little interested in the big jump in ALT and AST as well. They were pretty low 6 months ago unless they werent tested correctly.
Any other thoughts and concerns are much appreciated. Overall I feel great, much better when switching from every 7 days to 4-5 days depending on travel schedule. If there are any other measureables not listed, let me know and I’ll grab them. i kinda feel like the dose is a little high, like a mini-cycle. I’m fine with it as long as there are no health concerns above that need to be addressed.
