Lipid Advice

[PressureTest]

Curious to see what you all make of my lipid history. Seems like some of my cholesterol swing are kind of out of the ordinary.

I did bloods the day before starting 200mg/week TRT, which my first anabolic of any type. I was HDL:52 and LDL:76. I have had prior bloods where LDL was up to 130’s.

I had my lipids checked again after 6 months and I was HDL:23 and LDL: 114.

I was doing about .25 adex x2 per week after my e2 started running wild. I switched to aromasin and after a few weeks I was at HDL:36 and LDL:134.

Decided to do a small blast and went to 280 Test/ 180 Primo for about 10 weeks. Checked my lipids on week 10 and I was HDL: Non-detect (<15) and Total Cholesterol 225. That scared me so I stopped. Waited 12 weeks, retested, and was HDL:48 and LDL:139.

Seems like I recovered to normal ok and that my body has normalized with the TRT regime. Has anyone ever seen someone go to single digit HDL from low-ish dose primo? I was considering trying anavar but I’m a little afraid to considering the primo response. Would a statin have any effect on HDL drop or just keep the LDL under control?

Statin probably wont change hdl just lower ldl. There are natural ways that may raise hdl like citrus bergamot, omega3 and niacin but would need to do some trial and error to see what works for you.

My ldl used to be 160 off cycle and now I take rosuvastatin and on heavy cycle with test primo and anavar my ldl is 93 and hdl 26

How much rosuvostatin you're taking? I just started ezetimibe 10mg per day and if this doesn't reduce ldl enough I'll add a low dose rosuvostatin.

My doctor started me at 10mg a day and ldl went from 160 to 110, he wanted it lower so we went to 20mg a day and only time I’ve tested was after I started my cycle ldl was down to 93

I did take a month or two worth of citrus bergamot and fish oil in my post-primo recovery. Not sure how much it was responsible for since I had stopped a while before bloods, but my HDL was the highest it’d been since pre-TRT
