Cortisol a.m 585 nmol/L (160 - 650)
FSH <2 u/l ( <10 )
LH 3 u/l ( >9 )
IGF-1 24 nmol/L ( 24 - 102)
Prolactin 311 nMIU/L ( <500 )
Testosterone L 9.8 nmol/L ( 11 - 40 )
Free T4 11.1 pmol/L (9.0 - 19.0)
Free T3 4.5 pmol/L (2.6 - 6.0)
TSH 2.2 mU/L (0.3 - 5.0)
The only thing he told me was that my testosterone was a bit low which we already friggin knew. Can you guys please comment on my IGF-1 level and thyroids and cortisol? In past tests, my cortisol has always been pretty high and my IGF-1 has previously been tested at the exact bottom of range. |
You would benefit from long blood
test, similar to mine, attachment to post #1 here:
http://anabolicminds.com/forum/male-...tml#post827550
Done at Quest Diagnostics, blood drawn at Quest.
With the
test that you presented;
Try to boost you natural T, use Novarel HCG 250iu/EOD
retest after 2 months if it is not enough use T supplementation.
Test for
(Free BioAvailable and Total Testosterone)
Either FreeT or BAT should be on top of the range leave the other be.
That would apply if you supplement on T, if on HCG only, you may not reach thoes levels but the should be quite high to be acceptable.
If you have to, keep HCG and add T. Most likely T shots,
Depo®-Testosterone---200 mg/mL
There are different ways to use this combination, presently, for effectiveness and convenience in daily life I favor
(T + HCG) both shots SubQ around navel, every other day, have shots free the next day.
100mg T weekly dose, use 28 or 29ga 1/2cc insulin syringe for T and same or thinner for HCG
100mg/week=0.5mL/week
E2D dose = 0.5/7*2=0.143mL=0.143cc=
14marks on insuline syringe, '=0.14/2*7*200=98
Test after 6 weeks, adjust dose as need.
0.22 154.0 mg/week
0.21 147.0 mg/week
0.2 140.0 mg/week
0.19 133.0 mg/week
0.18 126.0 mg/week
0.17 119.0 mg/week
0.16 112.0 mg/week
0.15 105.0 mg/week
0.14 98.0 mg/week

Make sure you get good estrogen testing, specially when your will be high on T.
----------------------
Your FreeT3 is low, but it is not that bad overall, so not first priority.
Use Armour Thyroid to raise it to top of the range or close to it at about 20%
Use Corteff, 2-3 times /day max 20mg to support Adrenals.
Go by how you feel for both Cortef and Armour.
Free (T3) --4.5 pmol/L (2.6-6.0)
5.320 <--FT3 start of upper 20%
5.150 <--FT3 start of upper 25%
4.867 <--FT3 start of upper 33%
4.300 <--FT3 start of upper 50%
44.12 <--your current 4.5 puts you %% from the top =100-(4.5-2.6)/(6.0-2.6)*100
Bloodwork - please interperate 
Linear Mode
