Re: HIGH Prolactin, LOW FSH & lh - UPDATE
Thanks again for all the suggestions.
Here's an update - probably another long post - sorry.
I started following some of the suggestions, but dropped back to only Dr. prescribed Test E dosage and a few OTC vitamins to see how my labs came back.
Then Doc wanted to run an experiment, so I stayed on his regiment only for another month.
(FYI - I dropped the Cymbalta completely suspecting it was effecting Prolactin)
When taking 200mg e2w, my labs came back.
Total Test ... 276 (241-827)
Prolactin 8.5 (2.0-18.0)
Dr was frustrated by the T level so gave me 400mg in his office and ordered labs again in 21 days.
This time...
Total Test ... 389 (250-1100) ((same lab, don't know why the change in range))
Free Test % ... 1.78 (1.5-2.2)
Free Test pg/mL ... 69.2 (35-155)
Prolactin ... 12 (2-18)
He thinks that's high enough (@ 400mg / e3w) or I can try pellets (which I don't want to do.)
He's not concerned with Prolactin since it's now in normal range.
I'd sure like to see my test higher than that though.
My Plan....
Take the Test E 133 mg every week
- get some Prami .25mg/day - I still think that Prolactin's a little high. Dropping Cymbalta seemed to help, but then it headed back up, so it may be something else.
- get some Aromasin - 10mg / day for possible Estrogen although no symptoms
- Start back on the UNLEASHED - to lower SHBG & raise free Test
- Start back on the POST CYCLE - to help reduce Estrodiol
Can I keep that up long term as HRT if it works?
Feeling decent with modest gains in the gym.
Not having any problems in the BR other than lack of frequency - maybe I'm not trying hard enough... need higher Test ???
maybe get some for my wife some.
Still never have felt "Like a new man" though.
Comments or suggestions?
Don't go back to Dr. now for 3-4 months. I've ended up with an extra vial and am thinking about private labs at the current dose or bumping my dose and seeing what's happening.
Thanks
