    He called to tell me that my T levels were very high they where 4000 for total and 3000 for free now im really confused with this normal 200mg aweek divided into 2 injections and 250iu hcg eod told me to stop everything for 30 days and then will run hemocrit lipids thyroid everything that could be thought of. But what the hell when I started it was 309ng/ml

    Don't stop!

    You are HPTA suppressed and you are going to crash and bottom out hard.

    This is the last thing you want to do.

    You're labs make no sense.

    What were the ranges and measurement?

    pg/ml?

    Think I'd ask doc If I could lower the Test dose to 50mg 2x per week and keep the HCG the same and then redo BW.

    I'd ask to just lower the dose but not stop for 30 days. Maybe you process/metabolize T very slow. Maybe it was a lab error... we don't know for sure.

    In the end, if you did stop for 30 days, it wouldn't be the end of the world. If, unfortunately, you ran into some severe depression I would certainly notify the doc. it's not likely, but it happens.

    Maybe could run your own lab quickly if you wanted to:

    I've also heard of guys ordering this female hormone test and they just adapt it to a guy..."need sensitive estradiol" for $59.99 - the 10% off coupon.....

    Good idea. Total T test is $40. You'll get result in 24 hrs. Totally worth it, just to be sure.

    Few people need 200mg test per week. How was this dose decided on? Second, you do not need HCG at 250 IU eod. Two or at the most 3 times per week is sufficient.

    Are you sure your measuring your Test correctly? If you're sure I'd think the problem lies with the lab.

    Something is off.

    Total T is usually measured in ng/dl and the range is approx. 350ng/dl to 1000ng/dl.

    You mention your total T is 4000ng/ml this would be 400000ng/dl which is impossible. Check your values again. Maybe you doc has or the lab made a mistake.
