my blood test results

[foreveryoung]

got them back today, nothing too remarkable, but it does tell me something pretty profound about libido (that brain chemistry is 99.9999999% of the solution)


rbc 5.7 ter/L range (4.20-5.40)
rdw 14.9% range (11.5-14.5)
psa 0.69 ug/L range (<2.5)
glucose fasting 5.5 mmol/L range (3.3-5.5)
ALT 30 u/l range <60
AST 24 u/l range <35
TSH 2.6 mU/L range (0.27-4.2)
Prolactin 5.1 ug/l range <15
Estradiol <100pmol/l range <150


unfortunately this lab doesn't put an exact number for estradiol, just a normal result as under 100, so I'm not 100% sure what mine would be, but I'm lean and not holding any water at all so I doubt e2 is a problem right now, but not a definite on this one

should probably shed some blood to get my rbc down a bit, other than that everything looks great, doctor said I look good, heart and blood pressure good, all ok

Don't know...you have quite a few out of range/top of range results.

 

[foreveryoung]

the first two values (rbc and rdw) are basically referring to the same thing, and being high is very common with exo testosterone administration

the glucose fasting I am at the top of the range, I don't really know the significance of this, will have to look into it

the rest are all very good, so your comment is not really accurate

Ok.....9 test results.....3 top of or out of range including your fasting glucose = nothing remarkable to you. BTW...do you know what rbc and rdw are measuring? What it means when they are elevated? Do you understand there are much better tests that could've been ordered for someone on AAS and/or TRT?

On its own, it may not mean very much unless it is a huge change from past results. Have an HbA1c done next time in addition to FBG.

 

[foreveryoung]

there were many other tests performed, I just didn't bother to type them out because they were all well within normal ranges... the ones I posted were the significant ones, there were no other out of range

E2 is the worst thing to get in balance on trt. When its high I feel shitty, unconfident and moody and when its too low feelings are almoust the same with no libido either. It takes about 2 weeks to get normal feelings from low values after stopping Arimidex. Morning woods are good indicator but its not easy anyways!

Whats total test?

 

[foreveryoung]

Whats total test?

didn't take testosterone test, I have gone up and down in my dosage and one could theorize levels based on people's experiences, right now I have shifted to 100mg per week of testosterone cypionate, I expect that would put my levels mid range somewhere, maybe a touch higher

Look at past tests. to see where you were. Could mean that you ate too late the night before. Did you drink any alcohol the night before? Do you drink much?

I accidentally drank a lightly sweetened sugar drink that was in my car on the way to the blood test, I wonder if that screwed up the fast

I never drink alcohol, and eat a very extremely disciplined diet, I did eat before bed the night before yes

The lightly sweetened sugar drink will FUCK UP YOUR BLOOD TEST!

How many hours before the blood test did you eat - you should fats 12-14 hours

it was probably about 11 hours, a big meal

wouldve been nice to get Free T3 and Free T4 as well.

Lol, Just as I expected, didn't fast properly. That is the cause, I wouldn't sweat anything.

the doctor looked at me and said that thyroid couldn't possibly be a problem, but I begged him and he put TSH on there reluctantly

I went for my yearly check up and the doc added TSH to the tests and it came back high meaning i was hypothyroid.I didnt have any of the symptoms for being hypo. I went to an endo and put me on T4 at 88mcg which is about half of full replacement dose.

what benefits did you notice from the t4 after you took it for a while?

 

[MR10X]

I havnt seen any difference,i was hoping to be able to loose weight easier and be able to eat more calories but it hasnt made any difference.I am about midway in the ranges for TSH and T4 and could probably take a little higher dose and still be in normal range but on the higher side.
