Hi guys, long term lurker looking for a little help interpreting the following blood results .
Would really appreciate some help interpreting these results from a test e ~ 440mg/week blast
Blood test 1 and 2 are both pre cycle , before any PEDs.
Blood test 3 is 8 weeks into a test e + mk677 cycle.
None of the E2 in these tests is high sensitive.
I’ve just ordered that for the latest labs but as they are done private, will take a little longer to get those results.

Background
30 year old male. Lifting around 10 years.
Decided to try first cycle as gains have slowed down tremendously last few years.
Living in Australia.
Tests 1 and 3 were done in QML and test 2 done at SNP.
Currently on week 8 of the following cycle :
Test e 125mg e2d ~ 440mg/week - injected subcutaneously
MK677 - 12.5mg nocte
No AI - I have some on hand just in case
Cycle report
Have been feeling great so far on week 8 of my first cycle.
Consistently setting records for either weight or reps in the gym
Getting a really good pump.
Getting leaner but also going up in weight.
Feeling generally really happy and feeling more assertive/ confident.
I decided to do mid cycle bloods as I am holding off on an AI this cycle.
I’d rather limit the amount of drugs and mitigate sides this way.
Symptom screen
Sex drive
Would say my baseline sex drive was pretty average despite my free test looking pretty good
Sex drive around week 3-4 mark
Sex drive has subsided back to normal now.
Still getting early morning erections, probably more than from before I first started.
Skin
Mild increase in oiliness but not breaking out, never had an issue with younger as well.
Gyno
Nothing at all, no increased sensation or burning, no lumps
Mood
As above, feeling really good and probably happier than prior to cycle
Nil fluctuations or moodiness, just feeling more assertive
Blood pressure and bloat
Minimal bloat
BP usually sitting around 110 systolic
Questions
- I suppose my main question if what should I be doing in terms of E2 management.
I feel great at this current level of test and e2 and my current ratio of test/e2 is pretty much the same as it was pre cycle.
I’m inclined to not add an AI at present as I do not have any sides whatsoever.
I’m due to get the results of the high sensitivity e2 in the coming days so will update with that.
- Lipid profile and cycle length
Considering that my lipid profile is looking pretty decent as well as HCT, liver and kidney looking good, can I assume that I’m ok to proceed cycling for possibly 20 weeks?
I was planning on getting an echocardiogram at some point as well just for a baseline
