Bloods for Feedback

[Buddhabuilder]

So I posted a question about how long it takes to get IGF-1 test results. I appears to be 5-6 business days as that is how long mine took. I usually get blood results back in 2 days and that was the only thing different than the usual stuff. So anyway;

Test at 357. Low but within range. I had a 605 last pre-cycle bloods so I'm figuring there was still some PCT stuff still in my system at that time.

Free Test. 11.02 which is about the middle of the range.

But here are a couple questions for Dylan and other Mods. My Estradiol came back at 4.3, well below the range, and my IGF-1 levels are reported as 224, which is above range.

Not sure why the low estro. I haven't taken anything besides a multi-vitamin and a little creatine for 4 months.

My main question though is, does taking HGH stop your body from making it's own? Like Test does to natural Test production? At this level should I even consider 2iu a day for 6-8 months? Or best just to leave it alone.

As always, thanx for the feedback.

Your body will always attempt to achieve a certain test to estrogen ratio, and given that your test is basically at the very bottom of normal range, your estrogen will often times also be low. I've seen this before and that's my best explanation.

GH is not supposed to suppress your natural production at all, to my understanding so there shouldn't be a concern there. I think your dose is fine

Thank You Bros. Will move forward with the basic plan. I am also considering going back on TRT as my Test level came back so low. I will be logging my next cycle with Robo gear starting any day now. I'm using Test P as my kicker and can't wait.

I was surprised by the low Test number though. My libido has been lower than usual, but I have been killing it in the gym and even making some gains in quality using Doug Brignoli's superset approach. Should be even better now.

Can't wait....
