Latest Blood work received, 2 weeks after PCT.........I know my liver enzymes are elevated and not really sure the cause. I was taking 1500mg niacin ED which may be the cause and I guess smoking marijuana at night doesn't help either. My problem is my libido is ZERO right now. Another member said i should give it some more time and libido should come back. Please let me know if you see anything else that is off here.
Edit: wanted to thank AAP for helping my research subjects in getting back to normal. Their test levels are way higher than baseline and this shows the quality of his products.

Smoking weed isn't gonna fuck with your liver, it's the niacin that raised your alt and ast and the pct meds don't really help either, but elevated alt and ast without elevated akaline phospotase ( spelling lol?) or GGT is nothing to worry about, those words came straight from my doctor no bro science here. Now you have no libido with total test of 900+ and free test of 140, what other symptoms are you feeling? This is most likely an estrogen related problem. Or the biggest factor, it's only 2 weeks post pct, when I used to do pct it would take me a full 10 weeks after my last pin to feel normal again in that area, basically 1 month post pct is when I would feel good again. But with these test levels the only other reason I could see libido problems is high or low estrogen. Get a cheap blood test from privatemdlabs or one of the sites and for like 42 bucks you can get s full panel work test estro Lh fsh, cbc and a metabolic panel, just get the female hormone panel. And don't stress on your lipid profile it's actually good from a doctor perspective, the most important thing is your hdl to ldl ratio and yours is in range. You just came off gear so it's expected for things to be high. If you wanna know how to cut your ldl and tryglicerides in half very quickly pm me and I'll give you my Otc supp regime. It's never failed anyone I've given it to and it keeps my lipids perfect year round.
rocketballzThe whole point of getting bloods after PCT (and you didn't wait nearly long enough to get an accurate picture of recovery) is to see if you have recovered from your cycle of AAS. In order to do that you need to test for LH, FSH, E2, free test, and total test. If you are getting it done through your doctor just ask him to add those tests as well. You only got total and free test and I promise you that you are not yet at homeostasis. It takes months to get back to "normal" functioning of the HPTA, and with a baseline of 301 you may be a candidate for TRT, but I'm not a doctor so talk to him/her about it. PCT is meant to give your body a little shove to get your HPTA back up and running. Good PCT meds will do this but they will also keep you elevated for awhile after PCT especially if you do the standard clomid/nolva protocol. Time off = time on plus PCT so wait at least 4 months (assuming a 12 week cycle here) and pull bloods before you start another cycle. Do yourself a favor and make sure to get the hormones I mentioned tested as well. Sorry bro but this blood test tells me nothing about your recovery....and thats what I want to see.
BlackOPS317My doc wants to see me in a month and I'll ask him to do the other tests. I will post when done and hopefully it will give me a better picture of what's going on.
BlackOPS317I know I'm surprised the doc didn't check it. If my E2 is high could that cause elevated cholesterol? I have aromasin on hand, I wonder if I should take it and see what happens?? Also, test level before cycle was 301 and now it's over 800. Still could be elevated from pct and high E2 may be up as well.
Estrogen/Estradiol is cardio-protective. It's going to help keep your cholesterol levels stable and at the ratio that is normal for you. If your E2 is low that could definitely be a reason for elevated cholesterol. Any aromatase inhibitor is going to mess with your cholesterol because if affects your estrogen.
If estrogen is high or low that could be the cause of decreased libido. It's hard to say without your baseline lab work. Without that it's just a guessing game. Some men who fall under the normal range of test and estrogen levels will have libido issues because they are out of range for what is normal for them
Don't just take it to see what happens. You'll end up in a worse situation then where you are now. Unless bloodwork shows your estro is high, then take it. If you are worried about it , get your estro tested now instead of waiting. Don't just take it hoping maybe it will work. Maybe smoking that weed is messing you up.
Check E2. That could be your problem.
When my E2 creeps up, I get a bit puffy in the stomach region and my BP jumps up. I'm currently taking 6.25mg every 3d on 500mg of test. If you do take the aromasin I would keep the doses small.
