Explanation of blood work
I am able to get blood work done fairly often so I decided to check things out.
There are some things I noticed but I’d like to get your thoughts on it.
the first results are more of a reference. As you can see the Test levels are higher then but my endo says its because it was taken at the right time (~8am) whereas the other 2 were taken in the afternoon.
-Liver enzymes were interestingly raised in the 2nd test even before taking anything, I can only assume this is from getting a Hepatitis A shot 1-2 days prior because every other time they’ve been fine,
-2 of the 3 liver enzymes were elevated while on cycle, I assume these will go down afterwards
-The 3rd test was taken after 6 days on an oral cycle
Now the main reason I’m posting this is
-
I see the prolactin levels were already fairly low, but only reduced from 5.1–>4.7. I was taking cabergoline at 0.25mg 2x/week. Having said that I was only taking it for 6 days at this point so I guess this could be indicative that it is real cabergoline and it was in the process of working?
-
My estrogen levels were already high before taking anything. Then at 6 days into the cycle my E levels seem very high. Theoretically though none of the compounds I’m taking are aromatizable and there is an AI in the mix, so why would my E levels be so raised?
-
I have heard the T:E ratio is important. Given that my Test is fairly low AND E is fairly high is this likely a reason for fairly poor results in the past? and looking like I might have gyno even though 2 docs have said I don’t.
-
The first week on this compound I gained ~10lb and even though my waistline didn’t increase a ton I looked fatter/softer than the past even compared to a time when calipers and waistline showed I was at a considerably higher bf%. Is this likely due to high E and can I expect to shed a good amount of water weight when I start Nolva+Adex for PCT?
