I’ve also learned that lcms is more accurate than eclia for estradiol? I’ve also read of two sensitive lab corp tests, one
500108 uses gives better results than 140244, both are lcms, but one has more rigorous collection requirements.
Also on the iodine/temps, started taking 6 to 12mg iodoral about 8 days ago, temps are looking in range now.
Reading the trt sticky made me want to pursue things with my pcp, come to find out she does a lot of work with transgender ppl, and was very interested to take on trt and learn about it to help me.
At this point, what should I do?
I stopped the supplements like fenugreek/tribulus almost 3 weeks ago. I dropped dhea down to 15mg from 100mg. I also have been naloxone free for 2 weeks, on subutex.
I have been feeling more morning wood than before. Though I still kinda feel like shit, not terrible, just mental fog, fatigue, and not quite right.
Obviously dht is a problem, but how is my e2 so damn low, and t so high just on androgel?
I put gel on the night before, and have been trying to just do it at night now.
I’m going away for almost a week tomorrow out of cell phone/net range in the mountains.
Should I change my androgel, or get in to see the doctor for any labs tomorrow?
If so on labs, what should I run? Any advice on codes? Are there certain all in one panel choices that’ll save me money.for Labcorp?
