1 Yr Update with 250mg/mL Lab results are in!!

Hi,
I'm at 1300, peak and have been for this year: https://www.excelmale.com/forum/sho...on-4-pumps-of-Androgel-and-500iu-s-of-hCG-EOD

I don't feel any different from when I was at 800 and since my hemoglobin and hematocrit hasn't climbed, I just leave it at 1300. Now, since I'm on Androgel, I think it works differently than injections, my peaks and troughs are daily versus weekly.

Reading this thread has me wondering......should I lower my dose? I don't have any problems and my bloods are still good, but this thread has me worried that I might be a ticking time bomb

No need to worry in any sense. Most with high/normal physiological testosterone levels on trt will peak over the top end of the lab range and if you feel good and your overall blood work is healthy than stay with your protocol. In this thread I was referring to trough not peak! Seeing as you just recently switched from im to topical your numbers may lower only time/blood work will tell how your body reacts to the androgel.
 
I was just reading this post and the op is comparing himself to Nelson. Nelson is HIV positive and they get prescribed deca-durabolin sometimes. And for low testosterone he was given testosterone injections.

I think you might have me confused with another poster on this thread. In no way have I compared myself to Nelson. Although surprised he never commented on the thread.
Cheers.

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
