How in the world did this happen? Test Levels
Before TRT I had a test level of 195. Doc gave me androgel of 5g a day. Took it every single day for 1 month. Then did not take it for 3 days before next appointment.
New bloodtest level was at 193. Even lower that when I didn't take anything.
So doc upped my dose to 10g daily.
Well I didn't use it for 2 solid months. Then used it for 5 days straight at 12.5g and then stopped for 2 days before my new bloodtest.
Had the bloodtest and my test levels were at 665??? WTF.
I've lost weight from 235.5lbs to 205lbs so the doctor thinks my androgel is working great. But I lost weight and was not even taking the androgel so that's not the reason that I lost it. I lost it by cutting my calories drastically and stationary cycling.
So I totally don't understand how my level could jump up to 665 when I really only used the androgel for 5 days straight and then not using any for 2 days before my new bloodwork.
What the heck happened? I was wanting him to give me the shot instead of the androgel which I hate using because I'm tired of rubbing it on and on cold winter mornings that stuff is cold as ice, LOL. And I didn't even feel anything from it to begin with. My libido didn't come up and I was really expecting that to increase which it did not.
So now I'm kinda screwed. Did I mess myself up by using it for 5 days straing and then skipping 2 days and then getting my bloodwork done?
Those 5 days I increased the androgel from 10g a day to around 12.5 simply because I had not used it for a couple of months and felt BLAH.
So what is up with my new 665 level? He said it was perfect but I still feel like shit,LOL. No sex drive or nothing. Am I going to have to go to another doctor to get my shots now you think?
