    Test level

    So I am going to a trt clinic. they have did blood work on 5/7 total test was 551. My wife made me go to the family GP and do some BW. The test level was 1290 from lab corp. why a huge difference? I'm doing 100ml a week split into 50ml 2x a week. 500 IU of HCG . Skipped the AI as the E level was 8.8 out of 42.6

    start again, your post in unclear- did you get two tests results on the same day and have a discrepency?
    did you stop the AI before during or after your second or first bloodwork?

    you need to rewrite your question in clear , easy to understand and concise format.

    ^^Agree. Clear it up for us Mile! Time between tests. Actual day BW pulled compared to injection, etc.

    your test was 1290 or the range? 1290 looks like a range not a level..especially pre TRT/cycle

    agree with simon..

    revisit your bloodwork and/or even possibly scan/copy, include measurements

    i can see a clinic still prescribing with a 500 something total test level but be hard to get a regular doc or specialist to rx with that level

    what are your symptoms/reasons for trt...goals?, stats(age, cycle history, etc., body fat......

    welcome

    Sorry. I did BW 30 days apart. I just thought a 700 point difference was huge in 30 days. I'm only doing 100ml a week. My GP now wants to have a talk about the dangers of having my T that high. I'm looking for advice on how to decrease the level

    Simply reduce the dosage. But seeing full BW would be helpful. Yes that is a big swing in levels, hence my question above about the time your BW was pulled relative to injection on both tests. But even with different pull times on a twice a week injection schedule I still have trouble fathoming that much of a swing as your nevel really far off of peak.

    Did you actually see the BW results from the clinic or did they just advise you?

    man at 550 i would have never started TRT! clinics are becoming nothing but a scam, its disgusting! if i were you I'd do PCT and do other things to boost up your test naturally, you could probably bump it up to over 600 easily with a right diet and exercise. its up to you though.

    450 was my level before starting Trt. The 550 was from BW done a month ago and the 1290 was from last week. I can't see how it would be that high

    you JUST clarified...both you levels in your op were AFTER starting trt...

    25 plus posts later can u maybe tell us WHEN u drew blood IN RELATION to when your injections were? think that might make a difference?
