So I got my pre cycle blood work done last Friday and received my results this morning. In the below pics, the top halves were results from April 21, bottom halves from Friday, May 19th, just four weeks apart. I know the pics are kinda large, but the positive changes were:
1) estrogen levels dropped from 160.7 to 27.6 I accomplished this by taking a full dropper of aromasin ED for seven days, then switching to a full dropper EOD and thats where I am now
2) AST dropped from 71 to 53 (still elevated but better) and ALT dropped from 74 to 43 (now within range) I accomplished this buy discontinuing the statin I was taking for high cholesterol, a two week liver detox and started taking Tudca daily.
Negative changes:
Hematocrit level went from 50.9 to 54.2 and now I am probably too high to donate blood
I have two questions:
1. do I continue the aromasin at a full dropper EOD, or ease off slightly? Obviously I don't want to bottom out my estro, as I hear that having low e2 is worse than having high e2.
2. I have an appointment to donate blood today with the Red Cross, should I even bother going? I read somewhere that 55 hematocrit is the cut off to donate.
**currently on 125mg trt EW and I start my cycle in 2.5 weeks
Dude your levels look wayyy better. As far as donating goes, I think you should be able to. I live in Alaska and we have one blood bank organization and it is not Red Cross..that being said our blood bank doesn't have a HTC cutoff of 55, and I don't know what Red Cross' cutoff is for sure. Make sure you are completely hydrated before you go donate and your HTC may come down a little when they test you. I think you should be good to go, but if not, have your doctor get you a therapeutic draw.
