My ratio has come back high and keeping me from securing additional life insurance at a reasonable rate. What could be skewing my numbers? Total cholesterol is around 200.
I am currently on a 10 week cycle of:
Test ethanate
Deca
( 5 weeks of Anavar)
starting 5 weeks of Winstrol
1-2 iu hgh
T3
T4
Progesterone

Dr Barrett, I posted this up on a non bodybuilding forum, and was accused of doing a mild cycle, and was told my TRT doc was giving me too much T, arimidex, and HCG. Just wanted to see what your opinion is:

"I just got my blood levels back. Everything is pretty awesome. My regimen for the past 8 weeks has been 200mg test cyp once a week on day 7, .5mg arimidex MWF, HCG 500 IU 2x a week on day 5 and 6. Here are the highlights:

Total test: 987 (241-827)
Free Test: 37.6 (6.8-21.5)
SHBG: 12 (13-71)
IGF-1: 254 (94-252) [Dr thought I was taking HGH on my own! lol]
Estradiol: 28 (0-53)

RBC: 5.49 (4.1-5.6)
Hemoglobin: 16.6 (12.5-17.0)
Hematocrit: 49.7 (36-50)

All of these blood counts on the edge, but not high.

Glucose: 84 (65-99)
BUN: 17 (5-26)
Creatinine: 1.09 (.76-1.27)
AST: 37 (0-40)
ALT: 35 (0-55)

Cholesterol: 182
Triglycerides: 83 (0-149)
HDL: 41 (>39) kind of low, but actually higher than last bloodwork
LDL: 124 (0-99): high, but actually lower than last bloodwork in 160's

TSH: 2.9 (.45-4.50). I stopped armour about a month ago, and my thyroid is already back to its prearmour TSH.

PSA: 2.8 (0-4.0). I have BPH

In summary, the doctor was well pleased, he said my PSA needs to come down, and wants to try a little bit more frequent arimidex, EOD instead of 3x a week.

The cholesterol numbers need to improve, but he said the TRT may help as we go further along if my diet is good too.

I found it ironic that he had suspected that I was taking HGH! Good sign, I take it?

My strength has been much better just in the last couple of weeks. I need to reign my appetite back in some, but I am definitely dialing in. My one complaint is the amount of time it takes to orgasm, forever and a day. He said the estradiol getting a little lower may help with that as well."
