So I just got my bloodwork done and I’ve just received the results, things seem to be out of whack (or not?) but I’d like to know what these figures mean. My last cycle ended in late November 2019, here’s what I ran for 10 weeks.
Sustanon 500mg/ week
Deca 400mg/ week
Cabergoline 0.25mg E3D
Aromasin 25mg E3D
HCG 500iu E3D
I intended to take this cycle further at first, perhaps another 2-4 weeks at least but the side effects were severe, it was my first experience with Deca and I felt awful, depressed, pathetic all the time and almost suicidal so I came off and returned to a TRT dose of 200mg/ week.
On my cruise I kept HCG use minimal, probably 1000iu every 3 weeks or so to maintain testicular size. I stopped taking Aromasin and Caber since I thought I didn’t need them but oddly about 3 weeks after I came off cycle my nips lactated a little bit (wtf) so I panicked and started taking Caber AND Aromasin after every single pin of Sustanon. This is when a whole series of weird shit started.
All of a sudden my libido crashed, I felt more demotivated than I ever have in my entire life, I couldn’t get out of bed, I felt depressed as ever and wanted to shoot myself in the head all the time. Gosh, that’s when I realized that I probably went too hard on the AI I was taking and shut my E2 down completely and so I stopped taking Aromasin. I stopped taking Caber too, just in case. I mean, that was a rookie mistake. I didn’t need neither an AI nor Caber with a TRT dose of 200mg/ week. That’s just silly and I know that, so spare me guys.
True enough after I stopped taking them, things have gotten better, my libido returned to normal and I stopped feeling like shit. That’s great, but till now I can’t seem to pinpoint exactly who’s the culprit here, could be the Aromasin or Caber causing all this depression and murdering my libido so then I got my bloodwork done and things seems to sound wrong everywhere. Here are some of the figures.
Testosterone 1376 ng/dL
Estradiol (E2) 39.5 pg/mL or 145 pmol/L
FSH 0.06 mIU/ml
LH <0.09 mIU/ml
Prolactin 0.59 ng/ml
So basically only my testosterone and estradiol seem to lie within the “normal” range. Testosterone’s higher because I’m on TRT and probably estradiol’s high because of aromatization...? FSH and LH is completely shut down and it seems prolactin is too, since the normal range lies between 3.4-19.2 and mine’s sitting at 0.59ng/ml.
I’d greatly appreciate any advice on what these figures mean, what they indicate, what should I do next, if there’s anything I need to take or stop taking, I’m planning on starting my next cycle in February and I’d like to make sure my hormones are somewhat normal before doing so! Help a brother out guys, thank you so much, cheers!
