Spring 2013 labs

ad

Two sets of labs done on a low level cruise. The May labs showed elevated estradiol...which I brought down in 1 week with aromasin. (3 days at 25mg, 7 days at 12.5mg.) in prep for 12 week test E cycle.

Hey Jason,

Just noticing, because I'm in the same boat, your liver values (AST n alt) are high.

Where they high at dr test? Are you taking anything besides the test at the time?

Your numbers are way low for the amount your taking. Have to agree with romodinho it's shutting you down due to negative feed back. Your numbers are equivalent to a study where 18-35 yr old healthy males were given one 50mg injection of Test E a wk. Your dose may be correct but I agree that you may be having an absorption problem. May want to show your Dr this publish med study.

Thanks mega, I am sorry I didn't see your response sooner...I didn't have it tagged for email-on-reply.
You are absolutely right the numbers are way low. I had free and total and estradiol tests done one week later (for my MD in advance of an annual trt eval) and the total test was 1125 and the free test was 62. Both quite high for maintenance. Not sure what's going on here. Same lab, same draw office. All I can think is that they got the previous lab wrong...as the F&T test that was run on my MD's order seems more in line. (Some background, last year it was 950 and he let it slide; I have lost some bodyfat and weight since then, and he thinks that could be behind the increase.) In any event we have dropped the Testim down to one tube a day, and are going to re-evaluate in 5 weeks. btw, he is amenable to self inject test down the road...I will likely take him up on that. Right now, it's actually a bit more convenient to use the gel, as I travel a lot.

The wbc was high on the first one...I was getting over a cold at the time. Dropped back to normal on last week's lab. The cruise test levels are worrisome, and I meet with MD next week. Going to lobby hard for going injection route rather than transdermal...so from that perspective, I am going to change nothing until we run his labs on Friday. I suspect the absorption rate is really low. Will let you know how that goes. What I was looking for was to drop the e2, which I did quickly. That gave me a.) an idea of what dosages it takes to bring it down, and b.) confidence in my new aromasin source. It is def gtg.
I am working on a pm for you. Give me a day or two.

how much test are u cruising on? is it script or ugl?

Using Testim on script, 2 x 50 mg tubes ed. Lately i seem to be having a problem with transdermal absorption, and am going to lobby MD in two weeks to cut over to (self) injected test.
