I would go to a naturopathic doctor and get them to test for T3. Anecdotally from what I've seen or heard from people. They all had super bad depression, they actually turned blue, definitely blue feet, and noticeable hair thinning. They had trouble getting a doctor to properly test them as well.
Hyperthyroidism often causes eye bulging almost like some alcoholics.
I'm not a medical expert or anything btw.

155.8 lbs this morning fasted. Coach decided on the next show which will take place end of September 2026 if all goes as planned.
Added injectable primo at 10mg/day on top of my weekly TRT. (If anyone has some primo to spare, message me lol)
No changes in food/cardio etc.

Thanks ! My Tresiba usage is for a nutrient partitioning effect mostly. It also helps with insulin sensitivity and I think I get better pumps when I use it to be honest. Also it's doesn't cause virilization which is a big bonus being a female. Definitely something I really like using

155.8 lbs fasted this morning again. Blood pressure was at 116/61/64 and fasted blood glucose at 4.8.
Food got slightly increased.
Training day macros are now 3438 cals 209 protein, 563 carbs, 43 fats
Off day macros are now 3121 cals 207 protein, 464 carbs, 50 fats.
Well that's definitely a food PR for me lol. Never have I ate this much food at this body composition as well.
We're probably going to keep my current training split that focuses on back development for another +-8 weeks and then switch it up. My recovery is going very well. I'm experimenting with the KLOW peptide blend at 10 units a day mostly to help recovery and help my acne breakout. The KLOW definitely has a little sting but people really exaggerate it lol.
No changes to my cycle and cardio. Let's go!

Posting some bloodwork I received like 2 weeks ago and completely forgot to post it lol.
161 lbs this morning fasted but my conditioning is holding up. Finally learning how to do my back pose correctly.
I have brought down my TRT dose to 5mg/week (2.5mg twice weekly of test C). Primo still in at 10mg daily + insulin + GH + reta at 0.5mg twice weekly + GH at 6 units daily. Playing around with the KLOW peptide for recovery and skin health. I'm quite liking it for now.
I'm wondering why my estrogen is that badly crashed.

Hey Jussik,
You can probably tell your liver is stressed right not, long term stress is your ALT, short term and most sensitive is the GGT - which you are on the edge of being high. My GGT was chronically stressed too for reasons unknown but I was able to get back below the mid of normal with liver protection supplements. Your kidneys are showing signs of stress. Creatinine being at the highest mark of normal so I hope they retest. eGFR is reasonable but most docs will retest your liver/kidneys in another 2-4 weeks to determine if they are going up, levelling off, or on its way up.
Any idea why your prolactin is high? I find that odd but no expert with female hormones. There are some anomalies with your CBC - are they going to check for anemia? I would take some B-12 shots and supplement with folate/can also indicate liver stress or thyroid issues or may simply be a matter of the PED's, but not if they are going to retest. the results aren't bad but enough to raise an eye brow for any decent doctor. Unless, I missed it your estrogen, why are they saying no reference range as there is a reference range. Are your estrogen numbers below 37 pmol/l? Your estrogen should be high as it should try to balance with the testosterone which is high, which is expected as you are taking it.
I don't touch any thyroid meds but see your TSH is considerably higher than normal, is this to be expected as you supplement with thyroid meds?
How do you feel?
Looking muscular and making progress - it appears your calves are catching up with the quads/hams. Being nosy but do you use the abduction/adduction machines? Just curious as I started using both and it works muscles that don't get worked as much with other pressing or curling leg exercises. Usually finish off upper legs with both machines. Lean forward and they hit the glutes too.

I take the usual liver protective supplements such as NAC and TUDCA. For my creatinine, it has always been on the higher end. Just hard training can make it this high and I trained the day before getting my bloodwork. It doesn't worry me much.
I don't quite know why my prolactin is this high. I searched online and found that a hormonal birth control pill can elevate it. I was using my pill at the time of my bloodwork but I have since then stopped it. My high TSH might explain high prolactin as well but unfortunately they canceled my T3 test. My T4 is in range so I don't quite know why my TSH is this high.
Why does my CBC seem out of range I didn't spot that? They don't do any retesting here in Quebec cause our healthcare is shit. I will need to go see another private doctor to get a requisition lol.
I feel fine honestly, nothing out of the ordinary. I do the adductor machine twice a week to start my leg day training. I truly love that machine, I have it maxed out haha
Morning Jussik,
I just noticed your MCH blood test is high which can simply be a by product of PED's. I am so use to looking at men's blood work, I am not familiar how PED's would impact a female. You are on such a small amount pf PED's that shouldn't impact your MCH (compared to a man), I always investigate anything that is not in the normal parameters. It makes no sense considering your diet, but being low in B-12 can cause this to occur. There are some people that simply can't absorb B-12, nothing you can do about it diet wise so you go on an injection schedule. When I was sick, and they could not determine what was causing it - my Doctor came back from a conference on the % of the population have this issue and he offered to give me injections. I told him I could do it myself, he wrote a script but you don't need one. You can call any pharmacy and they will sell it to you unless you run into an pharmacist on an ego trip who says not without a script. Not a controlled / prescription drug, and you can't abuse it so it is ridiculous but some pharmacists will say no.
My creatinine is slightly higher or on the high side of normal and the doctor I deal with said, he sees this with people who have more muscle mass than the average but still he rechecked it in 1 month and is doing so every 6 months. It is known muscle breakdown can cause this but I would not assume that is the issue. Better to be sure.
The prolactin has me stumped. Our medical system sucks too but if you have a doctor, they swore an oath. Why would a doctor agree to order blood work, if it was to check your health markers? If they are off, I make a follow up appointment to discuss it just to get a second requisition for follow up if anything is disconcerting. Nothing in your blood work jumped out but I always ask the doctor how do we know this isn't an indication of the elevated blood marker being a sign I have an issue and if we don't monitor it, it could continue to rise. I don't know how bad your health system is - but if they won't do follow up tests when something is low or high/I don't see the logic in even having a doctor. I really don't have a doctor but the medical system says I do. He came out of retirement, took a few patients and works 1 day a week seeing patients but if you have anything urgent, he keeps 5 minute appointments to see patients. He is overboard with retesting and I like him. Down to earth, seems to care, but it is a short fix as he won't be around long and then I will be without a doctor again monitoring my own health.
All of your elevated or markers that are highlighted could be caused by PED's and training hard, but I think it is smart to recheck. I would take a few days, off, don't take creatine, and test. Simply and old school way of testing your kidneys is just buy urinalysis strips - chemstrips 10 or 12 are great. They check for infection and protein. The urologist I know, told me he has never seen a serious kidney issue without protein in your urine. Few markers on it for liver health - I have a book on reading each one if you need help. That is what docs used to do for a physical, there was no blood tests. They had you urinate in a cup and would dip your urine to check for abnormalities.
I just started doing adductor and abduction machines for hip strength. If you lean forward, it also hits your glutes. Your stronger doing that machine than I am - been doing them for 2 months and I still have several more pins to go before I max out lol. Unlike you, I finish upper legs with both machines and then do calves.
I'm writing a book here but I would drop the Tudca and pick two other supplements. Not good advice for the labs, as they all sell it, but it is a treatment more so than a preventative. I tried it and it didn't do anything to help protect my liver, but I did find one paper with some data showing it did. All other papers I read were for treating specific liver disorders at the hospital. The liver is the organ I studied the most due to personal issues with my liver. I tried almost every supplement and came up with a formula that works for me. I can't guarantee it will work for everyone, but if you dabble in PED's - you want to increase your glutathione and keep your inflammation down with specific supplements.
That is my take, but I am not a doctor or Naturopath.
Sorry for the dissertation.

Not much to update on except me being a year older now lol.
We brought down my 15 units of Tresiba to 10 units daily because I was ravenous during the day. I was also having some slight hypoglycemia symptoms during the day. My blood glucose was 4.3 2h post meal.
I've tested my blood glucose today 2h post meal since dropping the insulin and it's at 4.5. I will see during this week where it seems to settle.

How many carbs are you eating per meal and per day, you just using the long acting?
Happy birthday!
If I take my current training day diet :
Meal 1 - 112g of carbs
25g of carbs (intra workout shake)
Meal 2 - 116g of carbs (post workout meal with 6 units of humalog)
Meal 3 - 97g of carbs
Meal 4 & 5 - 77g of carbs
Meal 6 - 56g of carbs
Thanks
And your settling into the mid 4s 2hrs post meals now with the reduced long acting I think you said that right?
Yes exactly. I'll test it again this week to see if it's maintaining at 4.5 2h post meal with the Tresiba at 10 units
How often do you dose your tresiba im sorry if you already said.
So basically even with the log after your other meals you were not getting low enough after 2h, added that in
You shoot it with a slin pin or a im needle?
