Blood test results, please advice

[drejb]

Hey guys,

Just got my bloods in don't know what any of this **** means


Are my test levels, cholesterol and everything else good?

Please let me know

Everything is within normal range, as you should be able to tell from your result vs. The range right beside it.

The line in red is not a worry either, it is right at the upper limit but not too high or concerning

Something to think of if you ever use something that could raise E, though

How is my test? High enough for decent natty gains? Or am I 60 years old

If you're 60 your test is in a great place lol, beats mine

You're mid-range (and any value within range means the same potential for strength, lean mass, etc.)

All looks good

I'll tag in a great guy for a second opinion for you kenpoengineer

He is also finishing up an app to help people organize and see their bloodwork results over time if you'd be interested

Thanks for tagging me. Your results look good for a 60 year old (I'm 56). Your only result that is out-of-range is estradiol (estrogen indicator). Some issues that would drive that up are fat percentage (obesity), eating foods that contribute to estrogen levels or supplements/AAS. Are you supplementing with anything? Soy products or flaxseed?

Hey! I was joking about the 60, I'm 27 lol. Using soy lethicin granules, Alphamax XT, ZMA and nothing else really that would cause that. Any ideas? I'm also not obese I don't believe lol.

I also took this blood test while on keflex antibiotic

Lol about 60. So, "something" kicking E2 into high numbers.

Not sure what would be doing it. Maybe I'll see if my doc can toss me some Nolva

Should I be worried about those estrogen levels? Let me know because I'm stressing out a bit

Sub'ed. About to have my levels check for the first time within the next month and this thread would have been one that I would have started as well after my results came back.

Thanks OP!

Personally, I would find out what's increasing my E2 levels and stop taking it. I use my app to track mine and here is where I've been running:

What do u take to lower levels?

 

[kenpoengineer]

What do u take to lower levels?

Since I'm on TRT I use 0.25 mg of anastrozole per week.

How often do you get bloods done?

 

[kenpoengineer]

Like clockwork-every 4 months.

Make sure you get a copy of the results Sdog77 as most doctors just say you are in range. Also, track your results to see if you are trending up or down. It's best to correct before you go out of range. Doctors only address issues once you are out of range rather than discuss fixing the issue while still in range. I also recommend my iPhone app called MyBloodTracker to help track.

You mentioned a while back you were going to be taking a small dose of finasteride, do these results include that because this would definitely raise it.

Taking nolva will do nothing to lower the E2. It just shuts down the receptors, you need arimidex etc. to get the production of estrogen down

This was pre fin and I have since stopped

Drop the Soy lechitin. Are you retaining water and looking flat? Do you find yourself getting emotional?

If no then let the body work it out. Last thing you want to do is see saw your e2 up and down. If yes then grab some arimidex and I would go .25 every other day. Retest in 6 weeks

I am retaining water I believe, feeling a little more bloated. Libido is a bit **** but nothing dramatic. Dropped the lecithin and supplementing with DIM currently

Good advice kenpoengineer!

Thanks for the heads up!
