OK, I got back results from my blood work and I'll give you the rundown.
Cholesterol was way way down from the last two times I had it checked. I was at 188 this time. A couple or 3 years ago it was 257 and a year later it was 227. I attribute this to a cleaner diet and less body fat.
RBC, HCT, etc, was high again, as I hadn't given a blood for two months and will do it again soon. The levels were above norm, but not scary high. Just barely above top of range.
Vitamin D was at the low end of normal, 34 in a range of 30-150. This is with regular intake of a multi with D.
B-12 was in normal range.
ALT/AST was not tested this time, but will be on the next blood work.
Estradiol was at 31. <39 is normal range.
Testosterone...
Low - 1100
High - 1500
Apparently my little mini test blast must have not half-lifed out of my system as quick as I thought. The high levels were a surprise to me and a red flag to the endo.
So, while she increased my dosage last time, she decreased it significantly this time to get numbers back in order. She now wants me to use 100mg every 10 days. This sucks, but it is likely my fault for tinkering with my levels.
I have to retest in 60 days, so I will try to comply with her on this. If it gets unbearable, I will call her to ask if I can do 50mg every 5 days instead.
I did ask her how often we will test levels once we get things stable and she said every 6 months. So, maybe I can tinker again with levels when I have 6 months between, but until then, I have to comply.
As always, I'm open to comments or questions.
SubQ still correct?
Maybe your SHBG is high as well, that would contribute to high TT, I would also say that 120-125 is on higher side of TRT dosages but then it also depends from person to person to some it can barely raise to low end of normal, some it can bring to above range- anyway I would say that its better idea to monitor BAT (bioav. test.) as this is feel good factor, really.
I forgot to mention that they will test for free testosterone levels as well as TT levels in the next go around.
Good input, J. I may have taken two steps back before I can make one step forward again. Ultimately, I'm thinking 100/WK would be an ideal maintenance dose (or 50, 2x/WK), but we will see what the next round of tests shows.
