blood test done...advice?
I'm a 45 and have done a few cycles. last one was T E and Trn E, at 300 each twice a week. ran for 12 weeks. used Nolva 20mg ed along with ldex10mg ed for 6 weeks. my sx drive has nose dived, then leveled off and got better but still not what it was pre-cycle or during. I was off everything for 45 days, two weeks ago, I started another cycle, however I have a new supplier and seriously question the strength of the products. had bloods done and the results are not surprising.
I also just added hcg 250ius day before t/eq pin as a recommendation from an AAS veteran.
fsh - 9.1 (1.5-12.4)
lh - 8.1 (1.7-8.6)
test total serum - 236 (348 - 1197)
test free - 6.8 (6.8-21.5)
dhea-sulfate - 128.5 (44.3-331.
tsh - 2.17 (.45-4.5)
estrodial - 16.5 (7.6-42.6)
insulin - 174.7 (2.6-24.9) this freaks me out,however they forgot to tell me to fast, and I ate oatmeal with sugar, whey shake, coffee with creamer and sugar in the am maybe an hour before the test.
any help would be greatly appreciated.

What I see. Get a new supplier, take some time off, get bloods with hemocrit ( tren will raise RBC count, thicken blood) you need a solid baseline for bloods. yours looks like mine after half a year off. Look into TRT, you will keep more of your gains, but its for life so be careful when you consider.
Anon236 total test and you've been on cycle for 2 weeks ? That doesnt sound good at all. Test levels take time to build up, and I didnt notice what type of test but that number should be a lot higher.
I think you should retest and this time fast like they tell you, could be afecting more than just your results on insulin.
Just to clarify, are these bloods for a current cycle?
yes, after 4 pins or two weeks of 250/250 test tren.
After 2 weeks with that combo I think you should at least have the signs of shutdown, besides having a higher level of test. Your lh and fsh look normal and toward the higher end of the range. It looks like you gear is not very good or bunk. Also, why not take a longer break between cycles if you're not doing blast/cruise?
If you don't do this already, be sure to have caber or prami on hand for prolactin. If you're going to run tren or deca, you may have issues with your sex drive during and especially after a cycle.
AnonJust some quick observations... You did a 12 week cycle and only took 6 weeks off before starting a new cycle? The normal protocol for you scenario after you finish a cycle and starting another one is 4 weeks PCT + 12 weeks off before starting a new cycle, giving you a grand total of 16 weeks till you are SUPOOSED to start your next cycle to ensure there is no permanent damage. You are 45 though, ever talk to a doctor about TRT/HRT? so you are always on some dose of test e.. have it be even something low as 125mg a week, just something to consider. Oh yeah..one more thing, todays protocol for AIs does not include nolva, save that for PCT. Just use the adex next time.
As for your labs... your fsh and lh are surprisingly in normal range after not taking much time off. Everything looks good except maybe your Test serum, but that could be due to many things... your age or not takeing proper time off after cycle. But your test levels should start rising due to the Test E till at least week 3 to week 5. As for GH, I don't know what normal is supposed to look like so no advice from me on that.
What does your present cycle consist of?
oh, and I never ran nolva on cycle, only for pct. only had slight nipple sensitivity going into week 12, so I hit a shot of adex and that killed it. waited a week and started pct of nolva and adex.
I've never took more than 6 weeks off after my 6 weeks PCT....maybe something to consider I guess. however this is the first time that my sex drive has been low. Im trying somthing new this time around and adding Hcg to my cycle at 250 ius day before each inj along with b12 at 1000ius. just started that this week, so we shall see how that goes. My old gear obviously is underdosed as I never had any pip with it and pinned it 4 times over two weeks. my new gear just came in yesterday and I can tell it's different. this time I'm running a 250/250 test/eq. have a slight pip like I did with my original gear that I used for 3 cycles and that shit was fire. last cycle I put on 25 pounds solid after 12 weeks..only lost 6 on pct. I plan to have bloods done again in a few weeks and am hoping my test level is up and my insulin level down. I still think my insulin spiked due to my large carb loaded breakfast. forgot to add that I had 2 breakfast claws with my oatmeal...next time I will fast 10 hours like I should have.
