Ordering Bloodwork

[Ateam2023]

Im sub 10% confirmed by dexa and i am a high aromatizer needing an ai for just trt dose mg of test c , so naybe bf levels have "very little " (not saying none) difference in e2 levels? Idk but just an observation, i know how estrogen works in higher bf individuals , but estrogen conversion is a tricky subject

Imagine uploading your blood work on a forum and getting called fat lol..

Same, I’ve always been a high aromatizer - even at trt doses.

The thing is, I’ve spoken to multiple doctors about THIS bloodwork and no one of them are concerned about my lipids at all other than me, to the point to where I’m being referred elsewhere. Albeit, they don’t know about the mast or hgh. I have an appt with a cardiologist next month for a CAC. I’m not fat, visible abs, abdominal veins.

You appear to have hypothyroidism.

Before taking T4, to confirm you need to test:

TSH

Free T4

Free T3

Thyroid peroxidase (TPO)

If it is what it appears, you'll need 1.6mg / kg T4. So I suggest ordering the closest dose to that from India pharma while waiting, and some additional 25mcg pills so you can adjust the dose if your need to.

I recommend picking one of these and sticking with it, Abbot or GlaxoSmithKline, aka Eltroxin or Thyronorm. They're very cheap.

@Ghoul need to speak to my dr. about the results. If these were your labs, would you supplement low dose T4 or leave it be. Doesn’t seem to be hypothyroid but rather GH induced. TPO is still pending.

You might benefit from 25mcg T4 but you'll have to be watchful for hyperthyroid symptoms (anxiety, palpitations) because T3 is in the high normal range.

In other words, it's almost as good as you can get without going supra-physiological which isn't something you want long term, There might be room for a little more improvement. If 25mcg works well, and you decide to try more, I wouldn't increase it by increments larger than 12.5mcg every weeks, and get another set of labs in 6,weeks, even without hyperthyroid symptoms. You wouldn't want to start losing bone mass.

By the way, I'm assuming you have no heart issues and BP is well controlled. You don't want to be at the upper end of thyroid activity if you're at increased cardiac risk already.

And of course, if you come off or change rHGH dose you'll have to make adjustments since T4 -> T3 conversion will slow down.
