Been a while since I’ve had anything worth posting about, but here it goes.
Went to the doctors office for some gut issues and requested some bloods done while i was in there. He is my PCP who doesn’t deal with hormones, so go easy on the scope of the tests. I was just happy he tested anything. My regular labs i do myself, these were just extra because the bloods came free with my physical/gut appointment.
My routine:
15 mg every day sub q Test C (100/week)
100 iu every day sub q HCG (700/week)
Bloods were taken mid day. I did not do my morning injections until after the bloods were taken.
My results
TT: 145
FT: 33
SHBG: 18
Pretty wild for 100 a week. I have low SHBG naturally, so i was happy with 18, and is the highest SHBG Ive had. I felt not great, obviously, so I was not all that surprised by the low numbers. Typically 250 a week puts me at 900, and 300 per week puts me at 1200. I was expecting 400s. Stress levels high and sleep is low. The Test C should be real. Its prescription and comes from my normal place. 200mg/ml. Normal stuff.
After my results I upped my dose to 200 a week and feel much better. Look to a different post to explain my issues with my routine. I just wanted to keep this one about the crazy blood results. Ive always considered myself a low responder, but wow.
