bloodwork help needed

[Matsuo Munefusa]

my bloodwork is back and I would like feedback on my health. I am on 140mg test E/week + 10mg aromasin/day for medical reasons (hypo-gonadism).

total test 588
total estrogen 10.7
LH <.2
FSH <.2
HCT 52.8

My joints have been aching lately and I am guessing this is because my estrogen is somewhat low since I have already reduced my training volume to attempt to heal my joints (think earlier in the year it was over-training however now I think it must just be low estrogen?). The following is my plan of action to balance the situation...any input is appreciated. I try to be as conservative as possible given my situation (TRT without a doctor). I plan to rectify not having a doctor as soon as my insurance kicks in.

1) start clomid 12.5mg every day (this should kickstart LH/FSH)
2) increase testosterone 30mg/week (this I hope puts me around 700-800)
3) drop anti-E (aromasin) to increase estrogen into the 20s
4) donate blood to drop HCT at least 1 point if possible
5) get retested in 4 weeks to determine if 1-4 benefits me
6) when insurance kicks in go to doctor and work with him/her to get legal prescription (sadly I do not have insurance or a doctor right now for help)

Does this sound logical to you given my bloodwork?

First thing you need to do is donate blood. That is the most important thing on your list. Your Lh and FSH are low because you are on testostrone. There is no need for the clomid unless you are getting off the test. I would try to get your test and estrogen levels up. The docs say to try to keep the estrogen in the 20s.

I'm surprised how high your HCT is on that dose. Have you blasted recently? How high was your HCT before TRT?

I will give blood this week. I was very stupid last year and ran high doses of testosterone. I got 15 pounds of muscle and learned the hard way muscle is worthless if you are not healthy.

Its been 6 months since i used anything about 200mg/week. It took me a good 3 months to feel 'normal' again after using high doses. So its really been only about 3 months since I have been on what might be considered TRT.
