Need Help Interpreting Labs to Tweak TRT Protocol

FT is low. Range looks like Quest Diagnostics.

If you get E2 managed, you will feel hugely better.

No CBC lab work?
Hematocrit?
LH/FSH never tested? - which is criminal…
DHEA-S
fasting glucose
AST/ALT
AM cortisol - at 8am please

Please read these stickies found here: About the T Replacement Category - #2 by KSman

  • advice for new guys
  • things that damage your hormones
  • protocol for injections
  • finding a TRT doc

E2=40 and doc will not do anything… Idiot

Total cholesterol=142 is getting too low. <160 associated with increased all-cause mortality.

The ranges are stupid. You would be better closer to 1.0
Have you been using iodized salt and/or vitamins listing iodine+selenium to support thyroid function?

Thyroid hormone fT3 regulates body temperature by regulation of mitochondrial metabolic rates, which creates ATP, the universal currency of cellular energy. If thyroid function is low, body temps are lower and you loose energy and gain fat.

Check you oral body temperatures as per the thyroid basics sticky.

Do you get much sun exposure? Could need 5,000iu Vit-D3

Normal anastrozole responders need around 1mg anastrozole for every 100mg T cyp/eth. See the stickies.

Lab numbers one week after injecting are sort of useless as levels have crashed.

Tell doc that you want to modulate E2 to get near 22pg/ml.
