I'm looking at doing my first cycle of Test E and seeking additiinal opinions on the risk.
I'm 44 years old and have been currently lifting for about 17 months. During the process I have dropped about 40-45 pounds but need to lose probably at least another 20. Likely more. My primary interest in doing a cycle or two of Test is to maintain the muscle that I have added while I continue to lose weight, perhaps to help accelerate that, and perhaps add a bit more muscle. I'm 75 inches tall and about 242 lbs currently.
The reason for caution is that I have had elevated Liver function for years. Had a number of exams and test done about 17-18 years ago when it was first discovered, including a biopsy. Everything came back normal. During periodic labs over the years, the functions have remained somewhat elevated.
My ALT was at a 90 last week and my AST was a 35.
Six months ago, since which time I have lost probably 20 or more pounds, my ALT was a 97 and my AST was a 35.
In the Fall of 2015 my ALT was 88 and my AST was 69. I don't remember what my exact weight was but I may have been slightly lighter than I am now but was not working out with any regularity.
Also this past week, my testosterone was 289. This was the first time I have had this tested. I feel like it has probably gone up since I have lost some weight, without having any concrete proof.
My initial plan has been to run a 10 week cycle of 250 Test E. Perhaps a 2nd later on depending on the results. Any feedback on how much of an increased risk that dosage and duration would present to worsening hepatic function? Anything I should take for liver support prior to or during? Also, should I take anything for estrogen levels during a cycle at that dosage?
I appreciate any feedback.
