I started trt the end of November. I was real low prior with total test as low as 59, and as high as 190 prior to starting trt. I wanted to take advantage of having normal t so I worked out harder and ate like a horse. I've since calmed down, lost the water I gained initially, and have felt amazing. I feel 20 years younger. The trt clinic I use is pretty loose, so I've tested on my own above and beyond they're minimal testing. I felt so good I wanted to know exactly where I was because I felt "this must be it". Well turns out 200mg/wk + hcg 50 units/ wk puts me over the 1500 that lab Corp tests to. What a royal kick in the ego. Knowing I fee this good, but also knowing I need to dial it back is a total bummer. I fee like I've been living a lie. Wtf!!! I gave blood in January and my hct and rbc are already up there. What a bummer. If I feel half as good with "normal" #'s I'll be pretty happy. Ugh.
Lesson learned again. Blood tests, blood tests, blood tests. It's the only way to know wtf is going on.
