[QUOTE="CoastWatcher, post: 100547, member: 2624"] Why did you test at the one week mark of therapy? Serum levels take time to adjust. A one week check confirmed that when you inject testosterone your levels rose. That's all. You have no idea how successful you will or won't be on this protocol. It takes six weeks for a picture to begin emerging. It's true, some doctors will test at the four week point, but six provides more information. Not much to say beyond that in respect to the numbers you posted. In terms of individual tests, estradiol was measured with the incorrectly. The reference range is a dead giveaway. You want the sensitive, LC, MS/MS, lab test used to evaluate your e2 levels. SHBG does not appear to have been run. It's not a nice-to-have test, it is a critical value to capture as it helps tailor your protocol. If you have low SHBG the protocol you're on will fail. It may work if you have elevated SHBG - without that value you just don't know. [/QUOTE]
