Bloodwork: Low Test, Low Estrogen

@alldayeveryday this isn’t abnormal. Your. Icy is anything but a static system - it changes constantly. Soooo many factors go into metabolism, processes, elimination , regeneration. Labs are never the same and it’s why it’s more important to to assess how you FEEL.

I have had patients on the same protocols have labs come back extremely different with stress being the only variable.

How do you feel?

Overall I feel awesome. Stronger than ever. Literally. High sex drive. Great performance. I have no complaints where I’m at.

I guess the UGL stuff WAS properly dosed then eh? And E2 looks great considering where your T is and you feel amazing so nuff said.

I’m still not so sure about the ugl test. 350 mg 900 ng/dl and 120 mg 754 ng/dl? Something still seems rotten in Denmark

Yeah that does seem like a high dose for sub-1000.

@highpull

when i see guys talking about “getting on DHEA” are they adding this to their injections or just grabbing some supplements from GNC and taking the pills?

So this is 120 mg per week in October of last year. Notice that free t is 24.7


Below is 120 mg per week in February of this year. Notice the free t is almost identical. It’s just the tt and e2 that have changed

Its definitely supplements.

Those comparisons are pretty interesting @alldayeveryday. Do you have any sense of whether you feel better now or then? This stuff is fascinating.

Honestly I cant tell the difference. I felt great before I feel great now. If anything… maybe my sexual function is a little better now… maybe. It’s always been great on trt so it’s hard to say.

At what levels do you feel your best? All around well being? Sex Drive? Motivation in general - all of it.

How many weeks into each protocol were these bloods taken?

I’ve varied from 100 mg to 160 mg and up and down from there. It all feels about the same to me.

The first one I was on for a while. This most recent I only waited 4 or 5 weeks. I was getting impatient.

Lol as soon as this bloodwork was done I immediately started injecting 160 mg per week. Got a little acne break out on my back from that but overall I feel the same.

It’s oral. Some use pharmaceutical grade DHEA (a prescription) and some use OTC. It should be micronized for adequate absorption. Labs will show whether or not it is working anyway.

I’m just now starting to feel a little better from my Dr induced priapsm that happened in 1/14. One month later…geesh.

I’ve been on 40mg EOD (140mg a week). It’s a little more than prescribed dose (120mg a week), but I like how I feel on this dose. I feel I’m improving slowly from my issues… And the addition of 90mg of armour thyroid could be helping too, but I’ve only been on that for a week.

I’m staying here at this dose, even through my upcoming appointment in March. I don’t care anymore… I want to feel good, have good libido and boners. The latter is slowly coming back… I’m having more frequent pain free boners and rigidity is slowly improving… Sorry, TMI.

Either way, great to hear you are doing great and feeling great @alldayeveryday. Progress pictures after looking amazing, keep it up.

what is doctor induced priapsm?

and what sypmtom/level was off for you to take armour thyroid?

glad to hear things are improving

i have thought about upping my test a little but i have been told to be patient by other posters

Go up and read his comment from. That date. Scary

But you probably recover better and add muscle faster. Maybe?

I noticed a huge difference when I jumped from 140 to 200 a week. Within days I was amazed how different . I actually felt like I had T in me.
