Blood test after first cycle. Doc told me to stop TRT for 3 months!Looking for advice

[gojumac]

I recently did my first AAS cycle. I got a ton of great advice here and couldn't be happier with the results! Big thanks to all who pointed me in the right direction!!
I recently went for my TRT blood test (2 months after my cycle) while cruising on 100mg Test Cyp EOD, which is more then I was perscribed. Doc called with results and advised me to stop TRT, and all other supplements (she only knows I take Creatine) for 3 months based on the results. Thats the last thing I want to do! In fact, I was planning a second cycle soon! I'm very frustrated! Below are my blood test results. I would really appreciate any advice on: if the readings are truly concerning and how to correct what needs correcting!

I'm 52 years old, 6'6", 315 pounds (in case that makes a difference).

Blood test results:

Creatinine: 1.48 mg/dL
Urea Nitrogen: 20 mg/dL
eGFR (MDRD): 50
PSA: 0.60 ng/mL
Cholesterol: 205 mg/dL
HDL: 38 mg/dL
LDL: 145 mg/dL
Non-HDL: 167 mg/dL
TSH: 3.70 uIU/mL
Red blood cells: 6.05 Mil/uL
White blood cells: 5.4 Th/uL
Hemoglobin: 18.1 g/dL
Hematocrit: 55.0%
Red blood cell distribution width-CV: 16.5%
Red blood cell distribution width-SD: 51.3 fL

Everything I listed was labelled as high or low (outside normal range), except the White blood cell count which I added for comparison.
I didn't list everything. If more is needed please let me know. I am new and trying to educate myself.


Thanks very much!!

Ok, I know about a few of the results you have there. Hematocrtit level is too high. This is related to your red blood cell count, and Hemoglobin. I see you have the rbc count result, but I don't know how to interpret that result (don't know the reference range). Testosterone increases the production of rbc. You can lower that by lowering the dose of test or donate a pint of blood. You may not be accepted to donate with levels out of whack. Rbc's have a relatively short life, I think it's 90 days or so, so reducing the dose and waiting should do the trick there.

Cholesterol, specifically Ldl: Test raises cholesterol too, along with dietary factors. You might try reducing shellfish, red meat and whole eggs, among other things, and see what happens. Unfortunately, I don't know about the other cholesterol results. I just know the L in Ldl means "lousy"...... lol!

Psa: 0.6 is a good number. This is Prostate Specific Amdrogen (I think the A stands for Androgen); it's an indication of prostate enlargement. Normal range is 0 to 4.0, but I learned recently that the prostate can be enlarged without elevated PSA level. Also, I think it's important to know what your psa level was before starting on test. Mine was 0.6 prior to trt and rose to 0.8 and later I think 1.0 while on it. My numbers were still good, but based on the performance of the Dangling Disappointment while on test, I'm convinced my prostate was growing.

That's about all I can help with from what you posted. I would like to see your total serum testosterone, free testosterone and estrodiol levels also.

O, one more thing related to hematocrit: what was your blood pressure?

 

[gojumac]

I don't know the specific numbers. But, my BP is in normal ranges and I've never had a high or low reading.

Just go donate blood, my Hemaglobin gets up there, past 18, and hematacrit is 50, so I donate blood, your numbers will drop, thats what your doc is prob worried about, cholesterol isnt too terribly bad, but AAS will shift your lipids toward the negative side. Just look up normal lab values for PSA, CBC, BMP, for males. Basic labs. Red blood cells live 120 days so after that if you stay off AAS then your numbers will drop too. But I just donate blood, no prob.

That;s good idea monkey but do they accept a person's blood who''s on gear as they ask alot of questions about steroids?

 

[MonkeyWrench]

You dont tell them, they are after red blood cells and plasma, and screen only for diseases, it makes up so little in one pint, has no real effect on pts who receive blood.
hell I figure whoever gets my blood will be feeling GREAT!!

Thanks guys. I really appreciate the advice! I gotta say, MC is fantastic! I've just begun to learn but, without you all I wouldn't know shit!

MonkeyWrench, I'm with you, somebody's gonna feel a whole lot better with a pint of high test!

I'm going to give a pint or 2, wait until 11/1 and get my follow up blood work. Then, get back on the gear! I'm just getting started and I sure like the results I saw on my first run!!
