6 Week TRT lab work follow up

[fossilk1]

Labs look good. Was prolactin high to begin with? I got spooked earlier in the year when I ran a prolactin panel for the first time (been on TRT for 6 1/2 years) and it was similarly slightly out of range. I followed it up with another panel about 2 months ago and it was normal. So may advice would be to do the same. Give it some time and retest. If you have 3 high prolactin labs in a row over the course of several months, I'd consider seeing an endocrinologist. If not, it could just be normal fluctuation of the hormone. I too will continue monitoring mine, but I'm not worried at this point given the normal second lab.

Since last year prior to TRT (if you want to check my old threads), my prolactin was fine. MRI of the pituitary last month prior to TRT is normal. No abnormalities. I think the prolactin is a bogus test. Needs to be retested with LabCorp. Those labs were from my doctors office, which is a good reason for any readers out there to stick to LabCorp if they started there. Also this test was at 3pm.

So I agree wait a little and retest. May need Cabar.

I thought sexual frequency vs blood draw timing affect results as well ?
