I dont get what you are going on about, all the results are within the normal ranges???
The only way to know if it is high is if you had pre cycle test-results to compare it to...
It may just be that you naturally have high levels of prolactin and progesterone...(not really high anyway)

or am i missing something? Is there a problem?

Just my halfwit medical opinion.

Hey Guys,

Had blood tests done again as advised, and the results were as follows :

TOTAL TESTOSTERONE - 29.6 NMOL/L
FREE TESTOSTERONE - 623 PMOL/L (180 - 739)
SHBG - 39.10 NMOL/L (11.1 - 78.1)
OESTRADIOL - 79 PMOL/L (50 - 218)
S-PROLACTIN - 26.6 NG/ML (4.1 - 18.4)

I did it at a different lab this time, a lab which was advised by many ( not sure if i'm allowed to mentioned lab names here )

Anyways, according to results, testosterone seems okay now, thank GOD.
But isn't it strange for testosterone levels to rise so much so rapidly ? ( comparing my previous results to these ones )

Prolactin seems to still be a problem .

What should i do now veterans ?

Advice is highly appreciated.

When was the last time you used PCT drugs? E.g. HCG, Triptorelin, Nolva, Clomid? Are you on TRT?

PCT was done 5 months ago. And since then, i have not used any drugs. And no, i am not on TRT , have not taken any Testosterone supplements at all, not even testo boosters.

Why ? is there anything wrong ?

I find it odd that your prolactin is high which kills testosterone, yet your test is sky high.

Very weird. Only around 3% of young men have a total T of 30 nmol/L without 'chemical assistance'.

It is very rare, and the fact that you were on cycle not that long ago means you are either extremely gifted in the hormones department or something is wrong somewhere.

I see !

So ? Whats the next step guys ?

Should i go for a 3rd test on FREE & TOTAL TEST ?

Or should i start by treating my high levels of prolactin ? Because looking at my 1st and 2nd blood tests, both show high prolactin levels, right ?

All right ! I can go for another test , not a problem !
But does it really matter ? What I'm trying to say is , my result will either be the same as the 1st test ( which falls in the normal range ) , or the 2nd one ( which also falls in the normal range ) .

I guess what really needs to be sorted out is prolactin here , which is slightly elevated , right ?

Please correct me if I'm wrong .

Thanks for your replies .

Yes, no point in us trying to guess.

What I said before is based on reference ranges of normal total testosterone levels, where the low number (6.1) is the 2.5th percentile and high number (27.1) is the 97.5th percentile. What that means is only 2.5% of men score higher than 27.1nmol/L. So you can see why that is odd for someone who recently did steroids, and has not used anything to boost T.

I understand. So you're advise is to run another blood test ? What should I test for this time , and which lab must I use ? The first or the second one ?

I totally understand your point . But we must consider the fact that in both tests that I've done, testosterone levels fell within the normal range . If the first test showed abnormally low levels of testosterone , and the second one showed very high levels , then a 3 test would be extremely important . Am I wrong ?

Please do not take my reply as an argument . I'm just trying to clear out my doubts .

In regards to prolactin, which appears to be slightly elevated on both blood tests , what should be done about it ?

Thanks once again for the replies .

Get bloods done again. Test. E2 and Prolactin. Post the results up so we can see where you are at. Like Oupa and MA said no point in guessing. If this really bothers you go see a Specialist

It is on you. It always has been...

A specialist ?

what is so wrong with me that requires a specialists attention ? My testosterone result is doubtful because it is a bit too good to be true . Prolactin is a bit high . And that's it ! I don't see why i should see a specialist for such reasons . And just for your info. , I showed my results to a GP . All he said is that everything is within normal ranges . Prolactin is a bit high , but that could be caused by stress .

So then why are you carrying on about it like it is something you can die from?

If you are really concerned about the Prolactin and Test levels go see an Endo...

It is on you. It always has been...

To be honest with you, the reason why i'm carrying on with this shit ( which is actually pissing me off now ), is because i have a feeling that the prolactin is affecting my erections to a point. I don't get that super boner that i used to. May be its just in my head, or may be its the prolactin.

Apart from that, everything is fine. Energy levels are good, performance at the gym is good enough, no mood swings, etc.

Therefore i would like to know if i could take something to kill that extra prolactin and get me going ? Caber ? 0.25 twice a week for 4 weeks ? I dont think it will do any harm.

I'm tired of sitting on this forum, filling you guys with stupid questions, making me look like a fuck'n idiot.

Ok then dude, give this a go

Take cabaser 0.5mg E3D and your erection issues will be sorted. Taper down the dosage to 0.5mg E5D then 0.25mg E5D.

I have done a lot of research on high prolactin levels as I've had a similar problem in the past which really became problematic for about a month or so after my Tren A cycle, until I heard about a natural dopamine antagonist which helps lower prolactin and progesterone. Instead of jumping onto Caber or Prami, I ran a supplement with Mucuna Puriens (Standardized to 15% L-Dopa which worked wonders and gave me that feeling of well-being again and my prolactin levels dropped back to the lower end of the spectrum. This is not at all medical advice, just my experience.

Shot have some karma, I checked it out also called the velvet bean seems to be effective in controlling prolactin from what I read not sure how effective in comparison to caber but might be worth a try. Where abouts did you buy it?
