Blood work came in! READY for new cycle??

[crulexis]

My blood work came in finally.. ( Yay for free healthcare .. lol )
Brief history, did a cycle 3 months ago or so , after PCT drive was lower than normal and puffy nips came after the Nolva... So is this blood work all good? Is it safe to start a new cycle? (Kata- & Epi-strong)

Canadian Units

Result __________________________________Range
Testosterone: 30.0----------NMOL/L ------------6.0 To 30.0
Free Test: 116.6------------PMOL/L------------15.6 TO 146
Estradiol 90 --------------- PMOL/L-------------------0-161
Prolactin 9.5---------------UG/L-------------------2.6-13.1
T4 Free 13.2--------------PMOL/L----------------- 9.1-23.8
TSH 0.78----------------- MU/L--------------------0.30-4.70
Cortisol Random-Ser 357 NMOL/L ---------------79-536

This stuff I don't even understand at all.. so

RDW----------------15.9% ----- (TARGET 11.0 - 14.5%)
CHOLESTEROL-------4.14----- (Normal range Below 4.6)
TRIGLYCERIDES------1.74----- ( TARGET <1.71) MMOL/L
HDL CHOLESTEROL--0.88----- ( TARGET >1.29) MMOL/L
LDL CHOLESTEROL---2.47
CHOL/HDL RATIO--- 4.70----- (TARGET Low <6.0 / Moderate <5.0 / HIGH < 4.0

If anyone can shed any light on these results it's really appreciated, the one's with "Attention" On them are the one's with the TARGET...

Editing this to make sense took forever... Wish I could just use a table ... lol

I'm cautious. I wouldn't start a cycle until that RDW dropped within range, especially if you were going to consider something liver toxic.

+1 judging from your numbers you did some orals. Doing some more may not be a good idea for a while.

What's RDW stand for anyways...lol, Is it related to liver toxicity?

And other than RDW is everything else fine...? Cause I wanted to start In January 8th..

 

[HAYEZ]

i dont do orals at all....wreak havoc on your system

 

[crulexis]

Any other input guys?

RDW stands for Red Cell Distribution Width. Its a measure of how variable the size of your red blood cells is and is generally an indicator of activity of bone marrow. The higher the activity of the marrow, the more young red cells are in your blood. The younger the red cells, the bigger they are (yes, RBCs shrink with age). So if you have a lot of young RBCs and a lot of old RBCs, there will be a lot of big and a lot of small cells --> high RDW.

Low RDW --> usually means that the bone marrow isn't very active for some reason, most often thalassemia.

In your case, if the RDW is high then it's most likely bone marrow stimulation (did you take GH?). AAS can stimulate bone marrow too.

High RDW values can also be related to liver disease/other liver issues. Hence why I said I wouldn't start another cycle (ESPECIALLY one with orals or anything else hepatoxic) before the values are within range.

sounds good, thanks a lot guys for the info... I couldn't really ask my doc many quesitions since I don't want him to find out what I did..

I just told him I took Tribulus LOL... he didn't even know what it was...

I'm gonna wait for RDW to go down, for now I'm just glad that my test & Estro levels are in good shape
