Had my labs done. I appreciate all you guys help

[doosty]

Continuing the discussion from Intro new here need help:

So my dr did labs this week and my levels a little high. I’m sitting at 2500 on test. And I have noticed that my chest is very sensitive. So I probably definitely should taper it back. Ive been doing strait sus but now have E D and S. And I’ve been doing 1ml every 3 to 4 days.

@doosty A few questions as there is barley any detail to go off, i have a mild clue but would like more detail to help further.

1.) Total MG per ML on your sustanon and what is the break down per compound in the sustanon?

2.) I am assuming ED is erection issues and could you explain what is S?

3.) Can you provide your overall Lab results to better understand what is going on.

Thank you!

Your estrogen is elevated from all the different esters and aromatase process. Are you using an AI? You mentioned testosterone levels but not estrogen levels?

 

[doosty]

My dr don’t test for that. I asked about it but bandaids don’t do me any good

 

[John]

What are you referring to as bandaids?

 

[NeuroRN]

I’m with you @John.

@doosty are you referring to an AI as a bandaid?

 

[John]

I hope he isn’t

 

[NeuroRN]

I mean he might not have a physician who’s really digging into his trt with him. Who knows. Hope he responds so we can figure it out.

 

[Outlawthing]

Oh he is. Doesn’t sound like the answer he already/ has looking for nah don’t taper double it and use viagra. Doesn’t have any AI prolactin or pct I hope not

 

[Outlawthing]

I don’t use sustanon To many ester and possible test or estrogen spikes I guess I’m a control freak I do long or short if I’m going big cycle I will separate compounds I like blends for short blasts easier when pinning a lot

 

[doosty]

Ha no viagra needed but it is a bonus

 

[doosty]

Nah he’s no help really. I just get checked twice a year for the test level . Ive just kinda been doing it all myself for a couple of years.

 

[doosty]

I didn’t get estrogen tests. I’m not sure what you mean by ai as on the bandaid my dr thought it be funny which it was.

 

[Dirtnasty]

If you don’t know what ai is and they don’t check your estrogen your doctor needs to be atripped of their license

 

[Sig516]

Yep, your not getting a good deal with your doc

@Dirtnasty unfortunately this is actually way more common than you think in medical practice. Sad to say but its very true.

This is more common with nurse practitioners under the supervision of a MD. You will explain symptoms and they will write the script, not being educated enough to understand that you also need the other medicine to offset sides that will occur. They are taught to listen to key words and symptoms and plug those issues into their ipad and spit out a diagnosis and prescription recommendation for those problems. Then from there you will have to meet the criteria for that prescription to single out that is the issue. So, if you have a red flag for Testosterone being the singled issue, labs are ordered for Testosterone and if that is the issue the medication is then provided. Only when the patient comes back and addresses new concerns will the problem be addressed.

Best issue is always tell your family physician the following for a TRT program and come educated, cause its hard for a nurse or doctor to know everything with out researching.

1.) I have no sex drive
2.) no energy or mental clarity
3.) no drive or ambition
4.) nipple sensitivity and mood swings
5.) hot flashes

Those symptoms above will register for low T, estro imbalance and poor testicular function and so you will 9 out 10 times be prescribed the following. Test Cyp, Arimidex and HCG.

Really wanted to touch on that as alot of men need to know what to say to get what they are seeking. Best of luck!
