From Sep to Mar I was on 200mg a week test and an average of 4mg Retatrutide. From Mar until now I've been on my first cycle. 500mg Test E., 200mg Primo and 20mg ED Anavar with ancillaries and supps. 6 days gym strength training, 2 days cardio. RHR, BP, Hormone/Blood panel all normal with BP maybe a bit low at 95/65 average. Question is, do I keep going if I show no sides?
Well it's still a work in progress but I'm happy with the results so far. Lost about 13kg since August and that really helped a bunch. Not sure what's next for me, I guess just a stronger focus on longevity.
I wear a 47.5/48 and it's been a struggle my whole life getting good shoes. I have had luck with Mephisto in the past and love them but they only really fill my sneaker needs. Any advice for getting nice shoes (loafers, oxfords, boots) in my size? I really feel that is where most great outfits start but damn it's a struggle in Europe to find anything.
My E2 has been dropping since adding in Primo. Last lab it was 22ng/dl. I understand that Masteron doesn't drop E2 nearly as much as Primo. Anyone tried the substitution? Also, before anyone asks, I'm not worried about my hair.
Currently:
500 Test E
200 Primo
Read so many user reports on Reddit saying it was mild. Took 36mg IN this morning and was pretty surprised to see nearly immediate and strong results. Placebo?
~5.5 months Reta + TRT. ~2 months Test 500mg/week, Primo 200mg, Anavar 20mg.
Got my labs back and while the liver, lipids and blood counts are fine (HCT at 45,8%!), my e2 is 22 pg/mL.
Hormone Panel:
SHBG: 13.6 nmol/L (low)
TSH: 3.84 mIU/L (high-normal)
fT3: 4.6 pmol/L (normal)
fT4: 15.4 pmol/L (normal)
Estradiol (E2): 22 pg/mL (low for your context)
FSH: <0.3 IU/L (suppressed)
LH: <0.3 IU/L (suppressed)
Prolactin: 199 mIU/L (~9.4 ng/mL) (normal)
Total Testosterone: >15 ng/mL (>1500 ng/dL) (very high)
Free Testosterone: >3.56% (high)
Could Primo be sending my e2 too low? I've noticed libido has dropped off slightly and that 'flat' feeling.

Feel good but bloodwork and UA came back with these results. Everything else is fine.
Been working out pretty hard lately so the bump in a few things could be due to that. Anyone else with a similar issue with creatinine and inflammation?
