Alright, that's it for the ranges. Hopefully this will answer a number of peoples questions about what is considered "normal" for a male.

 

[KA-BAR]

Thank you. So on the chart you posted is Estradial the same as estrogen? And I do not see Prolactin on there.

 

[ripper911]

Prolactin Normal results
Reference ranges vary from laboratory to laboratory but are generally within the following values:

Adult male: 0-20 ng/ml.
Adult female: 0-20 ng/ml.
Pregnant female: 20-400 ng/ml.

Estradial the same as estrogen...............not sure

 

[pursuit]

Looks like your estrogen levels are extremely high. What have you been taking?

 

[KA-BAR]

I have taken anything in 3-4 months. What is the guidline for estrogen?

 

[KA-BAR]

OK Estrogen is supposed to be anywhere from 40-115 and mine is 325 so its off the charts. That explains the gyno symptoms. I am on heart meds so that has to be whats causing the gyno. Unless its somekind of rebound effect from when i stopped my cycle in July. I am turning into a bitch.

Ka-br, what heart meds are you taking?

How's the ticker treating you?

 

[kbrkbr]

Ripper, good stuff.

K to you.

Heart attack Aug 30 due to blood clot blocking main coronary artery.
Catheter and anjio jet to suck it out.

Currently taking.
Plavix 75mg ed
lopressor 50mg every 12 hours
Aspirin 325mg ed
Lipitor 80mg at dinner but this will be dropped way down soon.

I have been feeling really good up until this week. I have a bug in me or something. I feel like crap. I also changed my diet around BIG time. I lost 30lb in 9 weeks so that might have something to do with the way I feel. 235 day of heart attack and I am now 205. I mainly lost all my muscle. I am not worried though. I have great genetics. I have mainly been going to cardiac rehab but soon I hope to start weight training again. NO more power lifting but I can still weight lift.

Ka-br, what heart meds are you taking?

How's the ticker treating you?

Sorry to hear about the heart trouble ka-bar. I remember u mentioned something about it in a post a while back. Tell me, were u on a cycle when it happened? A reason why blood work is a must I guess.

how old r u?

 

[kbrkbr]

Ka-bar, which meds do you think caused the gyno?

Were you taking tamoxifen during or after your cycle?

You might want to ask your doc about taking it now.

 

[KA-BAR]

No I was not taking anything at the time of my heart attack. I started a 12 week cycle of enan and EQ that started beg of May and ran until the end of July. Heart attack was Aug 30. Although I did take 2 virormones in the quad aug 7. Its possible scare tissue in my leg could have clotted up. No way I will ever know. BTW no blood work would have figured out my problem. Doctors even told me that. They said NO test could have prevented a blood clot in my case. Hell they still do not know what caused it for sure. My blood work looked great other then not enough good chol and my triglycerides where 180 but nothing alarming. Hell I was not even fasted all they way when they took those test at the hospital.

I am 32 and I was taking armidex throughout my cycle. I am afraid to take nolva now until my docs give me the go ahead. The doctor is sending me to a specialist to look at my tits and I am getting a MRI to make sure everything is ok upstairs.
