TRT - HCG/E Help & Estrogen LC/MS Vs Roche / Testosterone LC/MS Vs Roche DIFFERENCES
tl;dr
REFER TO PHOTOS AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP! I can provide the actual labcorp test results if needed
ATTACHED:
EXCEL COMPARISON CHART OF MY LABS
CORTISOL SALIVA TEST
25 Years Old
5'11" , 180 LB, very lean, I take an entire slew of natural herbs/vitamins/minerals/supplements every monring and night, and eat extremely healthy - my diet is filled with greens, green smoothies, omega 3s, all types of healthy fats and proteins, lower carb diet, ZERO processed food or sweeteners or artificial sweeteners.
TRT for 4 years straight from clinical low testosterone from varicocele
ISSUES: Have never been able to control my redness / bloat / energy level
Recently - low morning cortisol, bloat and grogginess every day mostly in the mornings.
Bloat, grogginess, lack of energy, has been going on for a long time.
JAN 9 2017
TRT 154MG PER WEEK
[22mg injected every morning IM]
NO AI
Resveratrol injected IM at 15mg ED only
APRIL 14TH 2017
TRT 126 MG PER WEEK
[18mg injected ED IM]
.25mg Arimidex ED - pharmacy tabs for 2 months now
100 IU HCG ED for 2 months now
NOTES:
AST AND ALT ARE HIGH FROM DRINKING ALCOHOL 2 NIGHTS BEFORE
I wake up at 6 every morning and run a good sized residential and commercial roofing company.
I take many many supplements to try to remedy the thyroid issue....IE selenium kelp/iodine vitamin D b12/complex curcumin inject zinc L Tyrosine Ashwagandha Copper iron vitamin A .... many many supps...
DIM MADE ME BLOAT SO BAD AND FEEL HORRIBLE
TMG seems to not do anything but I don't have tests to show that
Taking HCG makes me bright red and bloat up badly. I have to inject at night, 100 IU MAXIMUM
Gyno has been on and off for years now ... it got BAD in January - February, now the mass has cleared up mostly but still itches and HURTS.
Low E has me flat feeling and looking, but still watery / puffy as hell.. weird I know
High RBC / Hemoglobin / Hematocrit I think causes my chest / neck / face to be bright red all the time.. in combination with estradiol being out of wack consistently too
I get morning wood even with this low E somehow
SOME FINDINGS:
Lowered my test level, but my test and free test has gone UP from low E which is probably causing lower SHGB) and adding HCG
HCG has not raised my DHEA / Progesterone - but it will leave me bloated as all hell though
My TSH has exploded high to 3.96 ...its been high for over a year now always 2.6+ ..I do not have NEAR the energy I used to have anymore regardless of my estriadiol level !
QUESTIONS
TOTAL E IS HIGH, BUT E2 IS INSANE LOW, ESTRIOL IS LOW ?
Dhea is low, progesterone is low, and pregnenolone is low (is this an irrelevant test?) HCG isn't increasing them... why?
TSH / thyroid tests for the past year are not optimal regardless of E levels
Energy is never the same as it used to be regardless of E2 levels
Red face, chest, neck, upper back, Bloated and groggy in morning
Still bloated all day after in face and body (regardless of sodium and water manipulation)
Fat loss isn't the same as it used to be ... I have to stick to low cal low carb diet to stay half as lean as I used to be
