Noob question

Thanks for the input. I'm not sure what the middle column is for. There's not much of a bodybuilding community here at all. The doc suggested I lower my test levels. Yeah right! I'll get right on that. I wish the test didn't cutoff the test level at a certain number. This test was taken a few day after a 4ml (1 gram) shot of pars test e 250. A dose I've been on for awhile. So with estrogen that high for the length of time I've been doing it I would say I'm not prone to gyno. Not impervious of course but not very sensitive to it. I will get on the AI right away. I was thinking of using Purity Solutions stuff.Any experience with them? Thanks for all your input. It really is appreciated!

Even if you're not getting gyno, do remember that the estrogen is still there! It's the main culprit for the shut-off of natural Testosterone production, not to mention it could play a role in fat gain, cancer, behavioral effects. Good to see you're doing something about it! I've personally never used Purity Solutions, so I can't say much about them. If you don't know someone who's had a good experience with them, check out one of the sponsors here or on IronMagazineForums.

Interesting to see the way your doc looks at your test levels that way! In America, it'd be obvious that you were juicing, guess that's not widespread at all over where you are! I'd be interested to hear more about the bodybuilding/fitness community (and how it's perceived) where you are, if you'd indulge us with some stories!

Well the doc knows I'm juicing because he's the one prescribing it to me (I do buy it from them every now and then despite the high cost just so they will be cool about other scripts I want) but over here it's used for HRT not really thought of as something to use for bodybuilding. It's such a very, by the book, rule following country, that no one even thinks of using it things like this for bodybuilding. I'm not involved in the community really as I'm on a military base but if I were to look around and judge I would think there wasn't a gym in the entire country. The only big people are foreigners.

Wow. Thanks for the info.

Which AI would you recommend?

I use aromasin when Im on.

Scagnetti

Which AI would you recommend?
Aromasin (exemestane) is the best, but most expensive.
Anastrozole(arimidex) is the 2nd choice.
Letrozole (femara) is the 3rd choice (it's often too strong even taking it every other day).
Arimidex and letrozole should be cheap and easy to get, and will work fine.

You've got the estrogen levels of a teenage girl, if it's the units I'm thinking of (pmol/L)! You'll have a pair of C-cups if you don't do something about it!

I exaggerate, but you should get an AI (such as aromasin or arimidex) to help control your estrogen levels.
Your levels are significantly higher than the range for testosterone! They don't test levels that high, you cleared the chart, which is a sign that you're using something with gear in it. Interesting to see their cutoff wherever you are (is that China, Taiwan, HK?) is the same as Labcorp in the USA (so you could end up using the protocol we have, coincidentally, if you want to know if your gear is underdosed or overdosed in the future). At the moment, it's clear that there's some form of gear in there though.

Your HDL cholesterol is very low. This is the good kind of cholesterol. This is normal for when you're on gear. If you're concerned, reduce your intake of fatty meat and increase your intake of oily fish and omega-3s.

Any other questions?
What's the middle column for btw?

I wonder if this is why despite a heavy regimen of Accutane my bacne hasn't subsided at all.

It is very likely a cause - elevated estrogen does tend to accompany acne in males, and lots of people report that taking AIs helped with acne while on cycle.
