Labs drawn on 8/27, pre TRT:
TEST, TOTAL.....342.....(400 - 1080 ng/dL) LOW
TEST, FREE.....75.0.....(47 - 244 pg/mL)
DHT.....565.6.....(155 - 553 pg/mL) HIGH
ESTRADIOL.....35.....(0 - 52 pg/mL)
TSH.....1.71....(0.35 - 5.50 uIU/mL)
-----------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------
Labs drawn on 9/28, after 15 days treatment with 5 grams 1% Androgel:
TEST, TOTAL.....312.....(400 - 1080 ng/dL) *lower than before?
TEST, FREE.....73.0.....(47 - 244 pg/mL) *lower than before?
DHT.....725.7.....(155 - 553 pg/mL) *higher
ESTRADIOL.....12.....(0 - 52 pg/mL) *way lower
TSH.....3.03....(0.35 - 5.50 uIU/mL)
------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------
I understand the increase in DHT (and I guess the lowered E2 which it might have supressed, though I'm also taking ZMA now),
but I don't get the lower test and free test.
I have only been on TRT for the two weeks, could I be that HPT supressed already?
I am increasing titration.
Any thoughts?
