+ 1 Blood work 4 months on TRT
I don't have my initial blood work in digital format, but my total test was at 100 mg/dl, thyroid antibodies at 170 IU/mL, and ALT was at 57 U/L. For whatever reason they never checked my estrogen levels. Free test was extremely low also when they tested the first time. First bloods drawn was the end of April.
Started test cyp at 200mg/week and was told to increase to 300mg/week 6 weeks post blood work. Started liothyronine and it's brought my thyroid levels down to 72. I was feeling like a new person.
Mid June I began a cycle of low dose Tren E 50mg/week, then 100mg/week for a month and increased my test by 150 mg/week. I felt like a champ at that point. I had to do blood work the first week of September so I backed off the test down to my TRY dose and pinned the Tren for the last time one month out from my most recent blood work. I did low dose Tren to see how my body would react
They also drew my blood without fasting and in the afternoon. I'm not sure how big of a role that plays in the picture I posted.
Has anyone else experienced the types of numbers I am seeing? I also take low dose naltrexone and low dose Ambien for sleep.
Thoughts? Comments? Suggestions?

Don't run tren if you have a thyroid disorder, unless you want to make your condition worse.
Tren can show up on blood work as e2, if not an ultra sensitive e2 test. Being you were running such a low dose, not sure that's the case. But was enanthate Ester, so can't rule it our either.
I was hoping that one month would have been enough for the small amount I was doing to run it's course and exit.
E2 is high due to trens ability to bind tighter leaving the excess to convert. Each cycle running tests will give you an idea of your bodies reactions.
You've got a lot going on. You went from trt to tren?
Your shbg is likely suppressed resulting in the high free test.
If i recall correctly from a recent Vigorous Steve video, Tren is known to register as estrogen on bloodwork. Could have something to do with it.
It's good practice to get bloods pulled early while fasted so you have consistency between numbers.
What is your injection frequency?
Something tells me the doctor hasn’t prescribed 300mg, I could be wrong,
My doctor is lax and didn’t care when my labs came in last 1500ngdl.
Seems odd that doctor wouldn’t jump from 200 to 250mg
I wasn't going to do more just to do it. And it was odd that no blood work was done after 6 weeks. I just did what I was told to do. I did feel much better than I was and I didn't feel like crap
Sounds like you got a keeper for a doctor, you may never need ugl test for awhile until you decide to run 500 test LOL
You should ask your doctor to prescribe you deca & anavar; it doesn’t seem out the realm of possibility
Deca does well for me and my body tolerates it. The doctor is pretty chill and I asked her about HGH and she told me once my markers settle out then we will look at that route. I'm not trying to do anything other than remain strong and healthy. I would certainly like to see what 500 does, but I do know that 400-425 or so makes me feel like a new man
I've cycled before and earlier this year did a low dose test/Deca cycle. 6 weeks after that I thought I would get everything checked and that's when I found all of my issues. Pin frequency is once a week, but I will change that to 2 and then 3 if I need to
AK80Most places NEVER check our estrogen! Even when we tell them too! Gotta stay on top of them. You should look into some Aromasin 12.5mg once per week. Maybe .5 cabergoline (dostinex) once per week too if you keep doing the tren. Split your Test shots up into 3 times per week like M-W-F and that will keep your blood levels stable including estrogen and other side effects.
I'll definitely look into the aromasin and consider the cabergoline as well. If I stick with the Tren then it'll remain low dose as it really hammers my appetite. My plan moving forward is to split my shots for sure. The doctor wants me at 1100, and that is fine, but I have to make sure my other health markers support that. I appreciate the feedback.
I feel for you buds.
I was at a point where 200mg a week put me at 1200ngdl 2-3 days after inject,
Then I get labs done on my day of inject, morning labs and my total test was 411ngdl
Seems like a super low trough to me I’d expect it to be around 700.
You gotta get your SHBG checked, your free is super high along with e2 and total is meh,
I’d say Shbg is the next marker
I'll bring that up with the doctor. I also forgot that it had been 7 days since my last shot when the blood was drawn and tested. I don't suspect anything else I was doing to still be in my system at high levels after a month of stopping. This whole TRT treatment is still new to me
It’s wild to hear a doctor increase your dose from 200mg a week too 300mg a week.. “sports trt “ is something taking off in Cali for top level athletes but 300mg is definitely not trt.
You’re somewhere around 2000 on your peak, your doctor is okay with this?
They are the new "pain doctors" of 2024. They got rid of percs and oxy so now these doctors are writing TRT scripts like horse race tickets
Bro I'm telling you. I'm trying to get a group of street dudes to invest in a wellness center in a bank that closed down on main Street here. I'm trying to get in on this wave
No doctor is going through insurance to put someone at 300mg this would be the first time I’m hearing this
That's not how that works. Doctor prescribes testosterone and I get it from a compounding pharmacy. I follow the doctors directions on the amount to take. Basically insurance just pays for x amount of dollars for the testosterone and I pay the difference.
@DeeMan
Bro nothing surprises me nowadays. I have no true experience with TRT though, tried it a short time awhile back though. But usually I come completely off gear
The doctor hasn't told me anything different, so I guess so. I need to do some more talking with her
