Results came in really quick. Some things were quite unexpected. My hematocrit is DOWN 3 points (46) from 2021 TRT bloodwork. So I have lower hematocrit on 400/500 test + 250 primo than I do on 160 test. I really think I know why. It's the E2. My E2 is lower using primo mid 20s than it is on 160 test with no AI (35ish). In early 21 I was trying to sort out whether I liked an AI and most of the time I was using none.
My platelets are the HIGHEST they have ever been. This is good for me. I'm usually below the bottom reference range slightly 140/150 but came in 191 this time.
I recall seeing Dr. Touliatos bloods and he's in the 70s E2 on a similar dose to me and had to inject ED to avoid having to do phlebotomies. Interesting line of thought and interesting results to say the least.
My cholesterol is awful specifically my HDL. I usually have a good number on TRT my last was 57... off TRT I can push this number near 80. My LDL is atrocious too at 169. I have been bulking on purpose so I would imagine this to be better if I had better body composition and cleaner diet. The low HDL was a bit of a shock for me as I'm not using any oral steroids and still walking about 25,000 steps per day. The main reason here to stop this is my cholesterol... f*cking awful LDL. I take krill oil, eat olive oil a lot, cook w avocado, but it doesn't seem to help. Next time I do this experiment perhaps in March or April, I will use 400/500 test + 250 primo again but i will cut. Bloods will be interesting then.

I didnt have my hormones done here but a few weeks ago and a reminder is that my test was near 3300ng/dl and my e2 was 26.
