Blood test Results

[lou123]

First off I beleive my HPTA is stuck from a steroid cycle or possibly Propecia.

I used Clomid and it raised my T and LH to normal levels.

I was retested yesterday 8 weeks after taking Clomid, everything came back EXCEPT my T level tests. I feel fine again and judging from beard growth, strength in the gym, etc i though my T level was still fine however my LH and FSH both came back at about 3. My red blood cell count was a little high as was my Hemotocrit, anyone have any idea why.

I'm worried by my LH and FSH that my T is going to come back low.

I think your Hemo levels may be high because athletes RBCs are usually high.

Consider donating a pint. It will reduce the risk of polycythemia.

LH and FSH flucuate throughout the day, so don't draw any ocnclusions based on those numbers.

Why didn't the lab run the testosterone tests? Did the physician order them? They almost always take extra blood. If they still have it, in the right stopper tube, then your physician might still be able to request the appropriate tests be run on that blood.

High hematocrit is actually a bit of an indication that your testosterone _may_ be high/high normal. It had been 8 weeks between your last dose of clomid and the test?

T tests were just delayed but I have then now, Total t 348 (240-950) Free T 14.6 (9-30 ng/dl) and % free T 4.2 (2.0 -4.8)

I feel fine, I've been working nights until 11pm and usually go to bed around 1 am. I layed in bed for a couple hours after I woke up and when the blood was actually drawn it was 1pm

My body hair is still growing like it did when I was on Clomid, my beard is really course, i hate that.

Even though I'm not very hairry as a whole my shoulders an upper back are and i use Jantana hair remover every 2-3 weeks, I'm going to look into laser hair removal for that area.
