What’s up guys. I posted on here a while back when I was messing around with Sustanon and Test Prop without really knowing enough about what I was doing. I also wasn’t getting bloodwork at the time and you guys pretty much roasted me for it lol. Fair enough.

I stopped all that and decided if I was going to keep doing this I needed to actually take it seriously.

Right now I’m only running Test E at 250mg/week. Been doing that for around 6-8 weeks. I was doing 125mg twice a week every 3.5 days. I’m probably going to split the same 250mg into 3 smaller injections a week just to keep things a little more stable. Not planning on raising the dose or adding anything else right now.

I’m 32, 5’11” and around 185-188lbs. Main goal is putting on more muscle while staying relatively lean.

One issue I’ve been having is eating enough. I’m prescribed Vyvanse 70mg and I take it pretty much as soon as I wake up. It completely kills my appetite during the day. By evening I can eat normally again, so lately I basically eat everything between around 5-10pm. I know my diet/protein intake needs work and I’m trying to get that more consistent.

I finally got bloodwork done. Some of the CBC/CMP/lipids were done June 5 and then I specifically went back and had more hormone-related labs done August 5.

June 5 CBC:

WBC - 7.0
RBC - 4.66

MCHC - 33.9
RDW - 12.6
Platelets - 424 high
Neutrophils absolute - 2.7
Lymphocytes absolute - 2.8
Monocytes absolute - 1.0 slightly high
Eosinophils absolute - 0.5

June 5 CMP:

June 5 fasting lipids:

Then I had more labs done August 5 at 12:35pm:

Total Test - 1,028 ng/dL
Free Test - 206 pg/mL
SHBG - 36 nmol/L
Estradiol - 47 pg/mL (lab male range tops out at 43.2)
Prolactin - 17.5 ng/mL high (range 4.04-15.20)
PSA - 0.3

For the August bloodwork, my last injection beforehand was Saturday afternoon and the blood was taken Wednesday around 12:35pm. I hadn’t done my Wednesday injection yet because I wanted the blood drawn first, so that should be pretty close to my low point/trough.

Also probably worth mentioning my sleep has been pretty shitty lately and I worked out around 11pm the night before the blood draw.

I had some nipple sensitivity recently, which is one of the reasons I wanted estradiol and prolactin checked.

I have Nolvadex 20mg and Clomid 50mg on hand, but I haven’t taken either one. I’m also not using an AI. I don’t want to just start taking something because one number is slightly out of range if there’s no reason to.

Mainly curious what you guys think about the numbers overall for 250mg Test E. Anything here that stands out that I should be concerned about? Especially the estradiol/prolactin, triglycerides and platelets.

Also is there anything else you guys would add to my next round of bloodwork?

I’m definitely still learning so if I’m fucking something up feel free to tell me. I actually listened after my last post which is why I simplified everything and got the bloodwork this time.
