Hi everyone I just got my blood test results back.
I have been of propecia for exactly 3 months at the time of this test. 29 years old, took propecia for 2 years 3 months, 1mg/day.
Suffering sexual sides only (that im aware of).

Test was taken at 8.15am, Monday 1/10/10
Note I did not fast for this test. But just noticed they recorded that I did fast (even though I told the lady I didnt), so this may affect some results im not sure.
Edit: Called the doc and he said not fasting should only affect the serum level result (well this info was relayed to me from the secretary). But i think also the Cholesterol and Triglyceride levels are also affected as 'Fasting Status" was recorded along side the results for these, aswell as for Serum Level.

The order said non-fasting? Strange. I’ve been in for 4-5 bloodtests last 6 months and all were AM fasting. So, not sure about results. But if accurate your Vit D is in range. Pretty much all the rest of us out of range low.

#3

Post everything.

#4

Maybe Oz guys have good vit-d with all that sun, I noticed JN’s were decent too.

#5

Well the thing is the Dr didnt say to fast before the test. He didnt mention anything about fasting whatsoever actually. Im thinking he just plain forgot to tell me by the sound of things… Should i get another test done properly this time?

Ok Ill post up the rest of the results in the next day or so.

Well regarding the Vit D, i started an office job basically the same week i quit propecia, and as such havent been seeing much sun at all. I dont have a tan that’s for sure.

But i have been taking Vit D3 capsules for at least a month or 2 prior to the test, 15,000 IU per day. 5000 morning, 5000 after lunch, 5000 before bed…
I didnt take any Vit D the morning of the test though.

#6

I’d call the doctors office and let them know you didnt fast and see what they say about the results.

Good that you got right on the vit d3 supps I think. I take 50,000 IU’s every 3 days and I’m still out of range low.

#7

Ok Haematology and Serum Chemistry results are up.
Seem to be over the range for phosphate…

Boston i think I’ll increase my Vit D and get another test in a few weeks or so, see if its improved. Have your numbers at least improved since starting the 50,000IUs? Is there a reason you dont take Vit D everyday?

Hi guys,
This Hair Mineral Analysis was taken 17 Septemeber 2010, and I trimmed the hair about 2 weeks before getting the results, so about 1 month after quitting propecia.
I was on propecia for 2 years 3 months of use, 1mg/day.

Drink mineral water.

#10

Did they do a sodium/potassium ratio?

#11

Hi Tim, no they didnt…

But in my blood test last week their levels were tested:
Sodium: 141 mmol/L (135-145)
Potassium: 4.1 mmol/L (3.6-5.4)

Can the ratio be worked out from these results, or is it something different?

#12

Thanks for posting Mikey. Glad to see the test looks pretty good.

One small thing I have noticed in Mikeys’ test, as well as mine and some others here, that Plat and WBC are low range. Could there be an issue with this?
