Bloodwork Question

So about this time last year my TT was at 530. Free test was mid-high range, I can't remember the exact number. Estradiol was not checked.

I just got bloodwork last week, I have been on Ultimate T for 4 weeks and Cellucor p6 Chrome for 1-2 weeks. The Chrome was free and I only added it in to see if it would help with estrogen symptoms..

Now, my symptoms are low libidio, barely feel like having sex. I could go an entire week without the urge. Sensitive nipples to the touch, nipples are kinda puffy, I am somewhat moody most of the time, low motivation, tired throughout the day despite sleeping all night long. I tend to tear up at shows/movies more often than my girlfriend.. Lol

But, my bloodwork is nearly perfect for being 21 years old, a little low on the TT and FT wasn't tested this time.
I don't know if 28.8 Estradiol is a tad too high for me or what else could be causing the issues? 738 TT is 200 points over my last draw a year ago, I think it is more of the fact that I had just had surgery and finished up pain meds, was laying around the house mostly, not lifting as much, etc. The Ultimate T may have bumped it up some, but I doubt it was much. But the Test Boosters have not given me any additional libido or anything like that. Maybe an increase in motivation a bit, not much increase in energy though.

Also, my last cycle was nearly two years ago, Test, Tren Ace, Tbol with a Nolva and Clomid PCT.

I was fasted for 12+ hours before the test.

So I found my bloodwork from last year
B12 was 829 pg/mL ref range 200-1100
TSH was 1.05 mUI/L ref range 0.40-4.50
Free Test was 90.0 pg/mL ref range 35.0-155.0
 
Check your prolactin; it can mask the effects of testosterone and cause nipple tenderness/puffiness. Everything looked great to me. I personally like having my shbg checked as well because my labcorp has a different way of testing free test, and they dont give me a ref range for it.

Yeah, I just went with the Female Hormonal Panel this time from PrivateMD to get an update on Total Test, and I was really thinking Estradiol would be high. A year ago Free Test was decently high, so I don't think it would have gotten worse if Total Test went up, but I could be wrong.

I almost threw in Prolactin as well, but it doubled the cost of the overall price. Lol I will take these results to my doctor and tell him I'd like Prolactin checked as well. I did have issues with high Prolactin a few years ago, before ever cycling if I remember correctly, so I may be prone to it.

Who knows, maybe seeing the good results will have a strong placebo effect and boost libido some. This whole time I was thinking it could have only gone down from 530 in the past year.

youre 21, so im assuming you're a college student?. do you use adderall? when I used it to crack down on some coding for a few projects, it shot my prolactin through the roof, the next day. tender nipples and everything. I did some research and turns out that Adderall can raise prolactin significantly. can't believe they prescribe this stuff to kids

Yeah I am in college, but I have only used Adderall a handful of times. I haven't used it in the past 6 months or longer, though. I try to stay away from stimulants as much as possible now as my anxiety has gotten worse. It is very easy to get both Adderall and Benzos around here from doctors, though. It's crazy.

I was thinking maybe the anxiety may have been due to hormones, but I am thinking not now. I still want to get Prolactin checked just in case. Maybe once I finish my last bottle of Ultimate T, I will run bloodwork again but add the Prolactin and Free Test in with it.
