Bad Blood Results - Test and Estrogen wacked
So my blood-work came in.
I have been on "T" gel for a couple of years. Been doing okay. However, the last few bloods came back. (1/7/2015 was 214, started T, 8/1/2016 was 335, 10/1/2016 was 542) Doc thought it was coming nicely, for a 55 year old. My Endocrinologist, figured I should stop the gel, thinking my own production was kicking in. So I did. At this point I thought cold turkey was weird, so I started investigating, and that's how I found Dylan's videos. I learned about PCT and what not.
Within a month, I started feeling like shit. I lost A LOT of strength, I lost 3/4 inches on my arms and i felt this blackness in attitude start to come over me. That's when I called her up and said I want bloods done early! I told her I also wanted Estrogen checked as i had a hunch there as well. She questioned me on it, but I explained what I learned from this forum, Dylan's vid's and other research. being that I pay, she said okay.. Well 15 minutes ago, I got my results on my Quest Diagnostics app! F ME!
So I have a call into the Doc, nurse saw the bad blood results, told her I want to get back on "T" but this time injection! Fuck this gel....
If you look at my other out of range issues, my hemocrits and red bloods have been high for a few years, but they are trending downward. Others are about the same.
So with that in mind, what would be the recommendations for me to get on track here?
~55 y/o, 5-9, 184 lbs @ 16% BF. In the gym 6 days a week, eating clean 99%. I allow 1 cheat meal every 2 weeks, and even that is not super cheating.
