NPP protocol data - 400mg per week, prolactin management, and actual bloodwork numbers

[BERLINER]

Running NPP at 400mg alongside Test P at 600mg, now at week 8. Posting bloodwork because data is more useful than opinions. Prolactin at week 6 was 18 ng/mL, upper normal is 17 so marginally elevated. Added Cabergoline at 0.25mg twice weekly. Retest at week 10 will confirm if that dose is sufficient. Lipids: HDL dropped from 52 to 38, LDL rose from 95 to 128. Fish oil at 4g daily throughout. E2 holding at 28 on sensitive test with Anastrozole at 0.25mg EOD. The point of posting - run actual bloodwork and share numbers. Opinions without data are useless.

This is exactly the kind of bloodwork data this forum needs more of. Your prolactin at 18 ng/mL on 400mg NPP at week 6 is marginally elevated as you say. Cabergoline at 0.25mg twice weekly should bring it down to mid-range within 3-4 weeks. Retest at week 10 is the correct confirmation step. The lipid picture is typical for an injectable-only cycle - HDL drop of 14 points and LDL rise of 33 points is significant but manageable with fish oil and cardio. Quarterly panels for anyone on NPP long-term are essential.
