Hello all,
So to make it short and sweet I been on and off testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) androgel 2 years (had insurance issues)
My levels 2 years ago were 150ng something. Doc put me on 5 mg of andro gel every day and my test came back lower did 10 mg a day and it brought it up to 600ng I believe. After having test level checked 3 moths after that I was to be tested on a 6 month basis. This all happened in 2011 2012 ish
Fat forward to January of 2013 I did a test cycle 500mgfor 14 weeks. 2 shots a week. Used a Aromatase inhibitor (AI) also.
Approximately April I ended my cycle and broke the hell out on y back. So I said fuck it I'm not gonna take anything when to dermotologist and got some meds for the acne and barely worked out I wanted the acne to clear.
2 weeks ago I hopped back on the androgel.... I took 3 angrol packets a day (15mg) to jump start it for a for a week and just las week I went down to my prescribed dose 10mg a day.
Here's the surprise. I wanted to change to injections because I forgot how annoying the androgel can be. I go get blood work done from my doctor and my levels are at 1194ng!! And I believe 134 of free test! Again my last injection was in April and I only did two weeks of androgel.
I only did one cycle ever
Question is why are y levels so high?
My possible answers to this question is.
Did I really have low testosterone to begin with?
When I first got on testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) I was drinking a little more than I do now.. I wan to say 9-12 servings a week vs 6-8 servings a week now.
Was the test he took inaccurate?
Did the cycle jump start my testosterone????
Any answers will be great and it was test cyp I used when I cycled. I didn't use hcg or anything else but a ai.
