First TRT Blood Test Results

[cybrsage]

OK, here are my first blood test results - though they are due to pinning double the amount of Test-P I was supposed to pin...due to a clerical error, I was pinning 300mg/week when I was supposed to be doing 150mg/week. Needless to say, the doctor flipped out and called me immediately to discuss the issue. He was relieved to find I had discovered the problem (ALL thanks to you guys here, btw, telling me 300mg/week is WAY too high for TRT) and fixed it. I am to have another blood test done in 3 more weeks.

Lowering you dose should get your TT in the normal range and lower your E2. It would also be better for your E2 to pin 75mg twice a week instead of 150mg once a week.

I plan on shifting to 75mg ever 3.5 days once my new results come back as showing me back in the normal range.

Your PSA is kind of high for someone your age... any BPH symptoms? Maybe it will come down when your E2 is under control.

Get that T in normal range. How many days from shot was this lab done?

Is the whole test shown? I would want a lipids panel for baseline before getting too far into TRT

No symptoms at all - I pee often, but I also drink fluid almost continuously, so when I pee, I pee a lot of fluid back out. No stopping and starting issues or anything like that...and my doc puts his finger up my butt each visit.

This was only 7 days after my last "way too much" injection.

It is the entire test. Before we started anything at all, he did a lipids (and more) test to get a baseline. Here are the results, everything is pretty much smack in the middle of the normal range. Except for my Test level, I am the picture of health (and my body fat percentage is a bit too high at about 20%):

As a note, the tests at the top of the page were from the June 9th. My last "way too much" injection was on the 4th and I have been pinning 150mg /week since the 11th. So in 5 weeks from June 4th, my body should be completely rid of the "way too much" injection and be running on the "most likely just right" injections (since 5 half-lives means the substance is effectively gone), which would be July 9th. My doctor wants me to get a new test on July 16 to make sure things have returned to where he expects to see them.
