I was hoping you guys could please provide some advice for recent lab results. All of you have been a wealth of knowledge and appreciate everyones advice/input. With these recent labs I am having trouble pinpointing some issues, despite going through numerous threads and trying to find similar situations.
I switched to Test C at 20mg M-F, totaling 200mg (same as December 2017 labs - just increased frequency), instead of 2 pins a week, which seems to have helped total test (1631.9) and free test (greater than 50), as well as lowered my hematocrit, RBC and Hemo back down to normal range.
My main concern is thyroid function. On Dec of 2017 it was LOW at 4.3, where normal range is 4.5-12. Now (3/28/18) it dropped down to 3.3, but also Free thyroxine index dropped to LOW at 1.0 when it was normal a few months ago.
After research and looking through various threads on the board, I am thinking a recent drop in calories could effect this? However, it being low and going even lower is what confuses me as there hasn't been any other changes. Added Tren at 20mg day for a total of 100mg week right before this test, however can't see how that would impact this variable.
Also, IGF-1 went from a high of 293 to now 165. I suppose what is throwing me off is I expected this blood work to be better than my previous and that isn't the case. Estrogen is high, which is my fault as I lowered dex, thinking the frequent pinning of smaller quantities would allow me to pull back on this. The plan is to increase dex back up to MWF instead of MF, which has been the most recent protocol.
Any help/guidance would be greatly appreciated from you guys, as stated before I always appreciate everyones input and look forward to what you think!
