[QUOTE="hombre, post: 191553, member: 18845"] Over 40 months of my TRT (dr. Saya) I took probably a dozen+ Total T measurements (used to be obsessed with wasting money on tests). Most of you are probably only doing blood work once in six months or four earlier on. What puzzles me is how often under the exact same protocol my total test would show up on a labcorp report as 700, 900, or 1100. I'm not sure how protocol tweaking possible with those fluctuations. And I ask myself are those tests so unreliable? I base life and death decisions based on those numbers. All my protocols were three times a week [testosterone cypionate] (Tue evening, Thu evening, Sat evening). Usually my blood would be collected on Thu morning, 10-13 hours before the next injection. Sometimes on Saturday or Tuesday. - Would you have expected Tuesday morning to show the lowest TT number (after two day break)? (wrong, often it's 1000) - Would you have expected that with same test cyp dosage but with reintroduction of HCG it would show higher number? (wrong, 700 with HCG vs 1000 without HCG) Looking at my spreadsheet going back from mid 2018, some numbers: I had 900 TT on 40 mg test cyp TIW and 300 IU HCG I had 1000 TT on 40 mg test cyp TIW withOUT HCG I had 726 TT on 40 mg test cyp TIW with reintroduction of HCG I had 1000 TT on 40 mg test cyp TIW on Tuesday (the lowest valley / trough), and 750 TT on Saturday days earlier (highest valley / trough) I had 700 TT, 900 TT, 935TT taken on the same day of the week on the same protocol (36mg !!! test cyp TIW) just a couple weeks in between I had 700 TT on only 30mg test cyp TIW without HCG Thoughts? PS. I noticed extreme fluctuations even before TRT when trying to keep the day of the week / time the same: 250, 350, 500 (three weeks in a row). Three years before that I'd do only one test a year, usually around 260-280 [/QUOTE]
