Low testosterone still?

**txnhb** · 03-27-2012, 09:43 PM

Has anyone read any information or have a personal experience of starting TRT and still showing low total test levels? What are some possible reasons this could occur?

is this hypothetical ?
i dont see any information to the contrary

Poor absorption possibly if on gels.
Injections spread out to far and/or not enough T.
Converting too much T to E.
High SHBG levels.

When I started test was really low, increased dose fixed it.

Thanks for replies guys.

I have found that my sex drive is lower now than when I started......Could this be the Test converting to Estrogen? Also abdominal area has got bigger and feel tearful when watching anything sad on tv.

at 100 mg a week my bloods brought back a score of 218 the same day as injection before I injected. Switched to 100 mg 2x a week. and scores 2.5 days after injection were 1100. Which is roughly close to when I would peak apparently.

Well it would be an easy fix but then i was too high on free, although I liked how I felt, had to back off but now I feel its too low. Once we get relatively dialed in will test for e2 again, and take it from there, but hoping they will bump it back up a bit from where it is now.
