Post PCT bloods

Just finished the Platinum PCT and was having some really bad side effects, so decided to have blood work done. Side effects included, No sex drive, no sensation while trying to have sex, mild ED, and just all around moody. Doc called today and said everything was normal and I just needed to let the medications wear out of my system. After looking at the results myself, my Free Test is high, Total T seems to be high for my age (38, 6'2", 185lbs), but within range, and a few other flags that I'm unsure of. Estrogen doesn't seem to be on my test, even though I asked specifically for that to be checked. Results are below. Range is in the middle, actual reading to the right. Star placed by high readings. Lmk if you need anything else.....

Your test numbers look excellent, so no issues there at all. You need more extensive testing. It sounds to me like your estrogen may be off. It's hard to say at this point whether you are high or low, and the symptoms of both are about the same. Everything you are experiencing can be caused by high or low estrogen
 
Wow your free T is through the roof. Most people free T is 1-2% and yours is over 3%...
This was a worry for me. Not sure exactly how it all works, but if it is not binding with the SHGB could it cause a higher number? Wouldn't a exuberant amount of free T convert to estro causing some on my issues? Its just really odd to me that any product that I have taken that has to do with "test boosting" has had a complete negative effect on me.
 
Doc called back today and acted like he could give 2 sh*its about my estrogen question. All he said was "it's possible". From the get go he acted like I was crazy for taking the PCT. He basically wants me to wait 4 weeks and if I don't feel any different, draw blood again. I was really wanting to get started on my next cycle as I've been out of the gym since these symptoms started. However, I'm not fixing to start taking Test when my numbers are already that high and I obviously have a problem with products that boost test. I'd really like to get this ironed out first. I have a call in to another doctor to review my labs and get a second opinion. Hopefully he will be better. Anyone else have an opinion?

I asked the first doc to test it, but I guess he was thinking along the lines of Low T. When it came back through the roof, he basically quit caring. With those numbers, I should have the sex drive of a 18 year old, but I'm just blah. Don't really care if I do it or not. When I meet with the second doc, I will find out what is involved and if it can be done. Shouldn't be a problem.
