Blood work questions

So like I said I pin Monday and thursdays so I skipped my Monday dose and had labs done Thursday (before Thursday's injection)


Big mistake here!

Yes you testing Thursday before your next injection which would have been the true trough but you skipped your injection on Monday and your labs had you hitting a descent trough TT 512 ng/dL and more importantly healthy trough FT mind you it was tested using a known to be inaccurate assay.
Even then what is critical here is your results are skewed since you skipped your injection on Monday so you basically waited a full week before getting labs done which means that your trough TT and more importantly FT will have been much higher if you never skipped your injection on Monday and stuck with a consistent protocol (dose of T/injection frequency) week in and week out!

Top it off that as I stated in my opening reply that you most likely tested at or near the true trough (84 hrs) post-injection seeing as your RBCs and hematocrit are elevated which for the majority would mean your trough/steady-state FT is too high.

Throw in your elevated estradiol to boot!




She's going off because I have a high E2 and my fsh and lh is low.

Your LH/FSH are and would be next to nil as your hpta is shutdown from the exogenous T, she should know this!

If your steady-state/trough FT is high which is most likely the case seeing as you have elevated estradiol let alone hematocrit and RBC

I apologize I did not skip (was thinking of something else sorry) I tried to explain to her why the LH/FSH would be low but again I was in the wrong my question is I got told to do a few things 1 being up my dose a little twice a week? And to take zink and Calcium D glucarate and then recheck labs in a few weeks. What worries me is the high E2 as I feel like complete crap, headaches, dizzy, no labido, no energy. I'm going to pick up some iron vitamins as we speak and jump on those. Do you think this would be a good start?? And then restest after 3 or so weeks and see if the numbers have changed?? Another thing I was told is I need to go on clomid?? Would that help at all??

Then you have something else going on. Maybe the cause of your low testosterone is still at play.

I figured I do, as I know taking testosterone ain't a quick fix, takes a bit to get dialed in, I'm just not sure where to start. The doctors here know nothing, first doc just wanted to up my t and call it good, so went and seen another doc and got these results.
