Hi all,
Want some opinion on my result bloodwork on HCG. I am currently dosing at 400 IU EOD and feeling great:
LH: <0.2 IU/L (ref: 1-9) LOW
FSH: <0.2 IU/L (ref: 1-19) LOW
Estradiol: 155 pmol/L (ref: 40-160)
Total Testosterone: 23.6 nmol/L (ref: 6.1-27.1)
Free Testosterone: 583 pmol/L (ref: 110-660)
Bioavailable Testosterone: 13.7 nmol/L (ref: 2.8-15.5)
SHBG: 27 nmol/L (ref: 13-89)
T levels are higher than ever, but unfortunately so is E2. I will admit though, I have 0 symptoms of high E2 (no bloat, acne, and normal libido). I am very lean at around 5'8 170 @ 9% BF.
Now, previously, I had taken 250 IU EOD and here were my results then:
LH: <0.2 IU/L (ref: 1-9) LOW
FSH: <0.2 IU/L (ref: 1-19) LOW
Estradiol: 72 pmol/L (ref: 40-160)
Total Testosterone: 15.5 nmol/L (ref: 6.1-27.1)
Free Testosterone: 380 pmol/L (ref: 110-660)
Bioavailable Testosterone: 9.1 nmol/L (ref: 2.8-15.5)
The reason for my dose change was I was trying to maximize my T levels (see how high I could get) without raising E2. Obviously, the bump to 400 IU did improve T levels, but at the cost of higher E2 as well. I do notice I am stronger in the gym, and holding more muscle while cutting (I usually lose strength when I cut aggressively).
What I am wondering is, is there any health risks with my current level of E2? I feel fine and am experiencing no issues, however I do hear high E2 can wreak havoc on a man's prostate. I am going to be on HCG probably all my life (unless I switch to T shots after having kids) so I want to make sure my health will not be jeopardized.
