Mid cycle blood work help :(

[McShredz]

My iron brothers. Can anyone shed some light on my lab results. I am a bit confused on specific values. I'm currently on 300mg Test C/W, 4 IU HGH daily, T4 100mcg daily, and Pramipexole 1mg split daily. The following values I would like some help on.

TSH 8.374 (.45-4.5)
T4 6.1 (4.5-12.0)
t3 uptake 33 (24-39)

Test 1360
Free test 26.8 (8.7-25.1)

prolactin 13.1 (4-15.2) puffy nips half the day

Estradiol <5.0 (7.6-42.6)

igf-1 232 (98-282)

I'm mainly confused on the TSH and Prolactin levels seeing that I'm taking 1mg of Prami per day and still having puffy nips. I would appreciate any feedback from any of my knowledgeable brothers.

The fact you are taking "Prami" in spite of a normal prolactin level and wo the guidance of a HCP, OR BASELINE LABS for comparison, tells me all I need to know.

Oh and great job lowering your E-2 to a level below the labs threshold of 5.0mg/ml, which is ONLY warranted in females on SERMS for breast CA!

And WHO ever said "puffy nips" is treated with a dopamine agonist?

Finally POST a before and after PIC of these nipple changes YOU describe as "puffy"!

The prami is because I have an old prolactin induced gyno with discharge. My levels are normal now I believe because of the Pramipexole usage. Not doing labs pre cycle was a terrible idea but now in trying to be smarter about things. Any advice on what to change Dr?

YEA STOP CYCLING, cease the "self DX and therapy" approach to whatever compelled you to use AAS, and see a PHYSICIAN, bc it's obvious you haven't the faintest idea WTF you're doing!

 

[Dr JIM]

Just the same for purposes of illustration so others may learn, do POST a PIC of your "puffy nips" as the latter are either

- a part of running AAS and are NOT the result of systemic changes in serum "hormone levels"

- a result of fatty chest wall changes -- that's to say as the chest wall musculature becomes hypertrophied the nipple region may APPEAR more pronounced as it's primarily composed of FAT

- a figment of one's imagination

An important proviso to ALL the above is the ABSENCE of bonafided gynecomastia!

OP, don't be afraid to keep posting up and ask questions if you have them. This forum is supposed to be helpful and guys are supposed to be able to ask questions when they don't know or are worried about something. Sometimes folks get real tough feeling behind a keyboard, and their "reputation" combined with snarky comments makes them feel bigger or like they have a shred of alpha in them, when most of the time in their real life outside the forum it's the exact opposite and they are small and as fragile as they come. Now I f you post a dumb question or one you could've found the answer to on your own, you should expect some hazing lol just the way it goes. But don't take someone's answer too seriously if they sound like just another asshole with nothing to offer.

The Hgh is causing your nipples to puff out. Cut it back entirely and continue running Prami. Your nipples will be back to normal.
