Thanks for your help KSman

KSman if you have time I have updated this thread.

thank you,

Hey KSman

Have new labs and need your opinion, because I have no idea what to make of them.

Hi KSman,

I have updated my thread with labwork and would like to know your opinion.

Thank you

Hey,

If you’re sick of the consistent questions please let me know. I don’t really have any other source of information. I don’t know a doctor who can answer these questions and I haven’t been able to find the answers searching on the forum.

For whatever reason the HCG, although scoring me positive on a pregnancy test twice, is still not recovering my testes. I’m also wondering if TRT is really what I should be doing in the context of adrenal fatigue. I don’t want permanent HPTA damage and I’m considering going off right now or going on an alternative therapy which would cause less damage (if a SERM is actually that).

Questions in the thread, though: http://tnation.T-Nation.com/free_online_forum/sports_training_performance_bodybuilding_trt/24_yo_tt_264_ft_152_range_43_304_pgl_?id=6251735&pageNo=2.

KSman,

I got my most recent blood work back and I have no clue what is going on? Please take a look at it again when you get a moment…

Thanks in advance.

KSman,

Have tried my best to answer your questions. Have a proposed plan of action, would like your opinion.

Many thanks,

KSman,

I updated the fT3 labs, if you would take a look.

Thanks in advance again.

KSman,

Could you please check the new test results, that don’t make much sense to me? Thread is here, thanks!

KSman,

I added responses to what you asked about.

Hi KSman, I would like to ask your opinion on the labs concerning phase 1 of my HPTA restart, here:

http://tnation.T-Nation.com/free_online_forum/sports_training_performance_bodybuilding_trt/day_1_of_restart_attempt?id=6321229&pageNo=1

I think, if it is possible, that I am an extreme aromatizer…

Thanks, see you there.

Ksman, could you take a look at my thread when you have a chance?

Bump, sorry if I come across as needy, but I am sort of in limbo here :wink:

Hi KSMan, if you could respond to my latest reply, that would be great!

Hi KSman!

I wanted to see what you thought about my recent labs here:

https://tnation.T-Nation.com/free_online_forum/sports_training_performance_bodybuilding_trt/estradiol_levels_and_free_t_

It may have been premature to get labs after only 2 doses of eod T after switching from IM to SQ, and I missed a shot right before the transition. I noticed at the gym this morning that I could barely bench press a weight that I normally have no problem with-- just ran out of steam completely. I have a feeling that might be more the result of e2 being too low than low T. I have really dialed back the anastrazole to only .06ml/mg.

I’m really curious if the SQ test might take longer to get to steady state… When I was doing IM I had a really clear idea of how my body “took” the T, thanks to being a bit OCD with blood work. I am hoping that SQ is just a very different slope… I’ve now had 5 doses (last fri, sun, tue, wed, fri) I skipped my off day on wednesday since I had my results from tuesday and was eager to get a boost…

I have been on 30mg eod for a couple of months now.

thanks!
Graham

Hi KSman, when you have an opportunity, can I ask your advice in the above thread please?

Okay i requested the results and got them today, although looking at these it seems hard to translate and i dont think they have given me everything you asked for but ill go ahead and copy what i have

Serum testosterone: 17.1 nmol/L
Serum Prolactin: 10mu/L
CBC: White cell count: 5.6 10*9/L
Haemoglobin estimation: 152 g/L
Serum ALT level: 16 u/L
Alp?: 61 u/L
Serum TSH: 3.38 miu/L
9am Cortisol: 523 nmol/L
SHBG: 38nmol/L
T4: 16.5 pmol/L
Free androgen index: 45.0 “low”

As i noted earlier i couldnt fill everything you mention and added a few other
stuff, im not sure what androgen index is but its noted as low and i also know
that my prolactin levels are low but this was because i took cabergolin last month
hoping it would give me my libido and morning woods… but clearly but prolactin
levels were normal and i made them low, i was limp before the cabergolin just to
clear it up.

EDIT: I just researched and found that the free androgen index is the free testosterone level.

Hi KSMan,

Can you please please answer my question on masturbation here: https://tnation.T-Nation.com/free_online_forum/sports_training_performance_bodybuilding_trt/the_decision_to_go_on_trt_for_adrenal_fatigue_?pageNo=0#6334871?

Sorry for being so blunt but I wasn’t able to recover my testes on tamoxifen and then I switched back to HCG + T and 6 days straight of HCG (masturbated once) and I still have a pretty bad scrotum situation as in no improvement and this is on a fresh vial of HCG.

You say in the sticky that HCG is supposed to keep the size/firmness of the testes and my experience is a large flap of skin underneath tiny testes. This is a huge stressor in my life and it’d be really nice to have some clarity. I keep wondering whether I screwed up when I reconstituted my HCG and since I injected immediately after if that gave me an extreme HCG dose which put my LH receptors to sleep or if I really just have primary and my body was functioning on higher LH levels…?

Hi KSMan,

Thank you for taking the time to post and share your insights with everyone. I’ve been having brain fog, fatigue, and anxiety lately and have recently gotten blood work done.

When you get the chance, could you check out my thread?:

Looking forward to hearing for you. Thanks again.
