I just did these labs for hahas before I switched back to injections. Here you go (75mg of T cream and 250IU HCG every three days):
TT 1282 High (ref range 400-1080)
Bioavail T 277 High (ref range 47-244)
Free T 2.2 Normal (ref range 1.6-2.9)
SHBG 36 Normal (ref range 11-80)
E2 56 High (male ref range 12-41)
Well if you’d like to use the cream is works like crazy. Seeing these numbers I’m almost sorry I just switched back to shots. I am 35 so I probably respond well to HCG.
My E2 is off the map which explains why my libido is absolute zero and I feel worse than before I started. This f-ing moron family Dr that I went to marked my E2 as normal not noticing that the reference range of 0-571 is for women!!! I’m guessing with this reference range I should be around 18-24. On the bottom of the report she commented on my high T saying “To much testosterone isn’t good for mood”. Is she f-ing nuts??? God help me… Thankfully I just used her for labs and that’s it.
All I have at the moment is liquidex so I’m going to Adex myself to death until I pass through the sweet spot and adjust from there. It’s going to take weeks to clear this up…
Looking at my numbers I wonder what my E2 was when my family Dr had me on 200mg of T cyp a week. He did that with nothing else for 7 weeks and never ran labs. I felt like total crap. That’s when I went to see Dr John.
brentf13,
From my experience, you may be able to get your E2 numbers down rather quickly and that’s a good thing. But, it may take weeks for your receptors to clear out from the E2, and you may still “feel like crap” for a while.
In my experience, both times my E2 got off the charts high, it took my body three weeks or longer to start “working right” shall we say…
Those are great numbers for T cream. You may be one of the lucky ones that will have real high T numbers on the shots too.
Most doctors are ignorant when it comes to HRT/TRT, and that’s a shame too.
Thanks KNB. I’m actually about 30% improved already. I’ve been running Adex .5mg a day and Proviron 50mg a day. I know from my experience with Adex as a standalone it’s easier for me to adjust the dose by bottoming out, stopping, pass back through the sweet spot, and then adjust from there. I may drop the Proviron in a few months or just cut it to 25mg.

ok GUYS AND knb,
So when this anti-aging doc decides to get me started (I’m fairly certain he will not be prescribing a-dex,) but based on my bloodwork and feeling’s will be prescribing a Bioavailable testosterone cream, GH injections, thyroid, DHEA, and melatonin…BUT…I want to be clear with him from the get go…If E2 level’s are high and he won’t prescribe a-dex I wll have to implement a minimal dose independently. Would it be best to bring those E2 level’s down prior to any TRT??? Secondly and not to beat a dead horse, but any idea as to why my nuts literally hit the floor when I began using 75 mg. of DHEA along with the Myomin capsules? (Like almost immediately after beginning the DHEA.) I have had to d/c the stuff as my balls began aching. Balls were larger, sex drive increased, but ejaculate decreased??? Graphic I know, but gotta get the full picture out to get back a proper answer.(Back to normal now since I quit.)
AND if anyone has ever used myomin, what their result’s were and how long it took to work? I was taking 2-3 capsules 2-3X a day at the advice of a “nutritional expert.” How long do they take to kick in and do they indeed work at all???
I know when my E2 gets high my ejaculate volume is reduced. You may have been DHEA sensitive.
I am unfamiliar with myomin, so I won’t comment.
I suggest you don’t reduce E2 prior to getting HRT tested. You may be cheating yourself out of appropriate treatment…
Sometimes graphic comments are required to fully explain a situation, and I don’t believe any of us guys here are too “sqeemish” to try to help.
