Hey guys,
Just got a call from my doc with the results. I am not sure if i got the units right. But the docs would like to see me because my SHBG is too low…
T 34.5 ng/l
Fai 1869 ng/l
SHBG 6.4 nmol/l
E2 108 pg/ml
TE e5d 500mg
Bolde e7d 400mg
Aromasin e2d
Started T in mid may. Bolde mid June.
Hey guys, i totally forgot this thread…
Here are the correct units:
Date: 29. July
Testosterone 34,5 ng/ml (2.8-8)
SHBG 6,4 nmol/l (25,4-192)
FAI 1869% (0.3-5.62)
17ß-Östradiol 108pg/ml (1-215)
I didnt check anything besides oestrogen in June because I got a lot of problems with water retention.
I started with Aromasin 12.5 EOD, 2 weeks later I upped it to 12.5ED.
Its getting better and better, but my oestrogen is still to high and my SHBG way too low.
Ive got low libido but no problem with wood.
Any help/advice for me?
Mate estrogen isn’t too high, E has many important benefits towards the body such as maintainence and increased BMD, aids with cholesterol and glucose management and metabolism, increases nitric oxide production, exerts anabolic effects independently of AR activation, serotonin release etc. All you’re doing by pumping aromasin is potentially causing harm, fucking you’re cholesterol to combat non existent sides.
For water retention, the issue can typically be mediated with diet, if you actually do aromatise too much, you may need to lean out or improve hepatic function, as the liver is largely responsible for clearing out excess hormonal buildup. Seriously water retention isn’t just estrogen either, hydroxlase inhibition from AAS can cause massive buildups in sodium/water.
Secondly AAS have affinity to SHBG and lower concentrations said glycoprotein. Another common issue associated with low SHBG is impaired.glucose tolerance and insulin resistance, so get that checked, genetics can also play a role however chances are it’s just the high androgen concentration
You’re aware of the risks running doses such as specified above can have with regard to you’re longevity right? Primarily the cardiovascular complications. If you’re aware then that’s all good
