Hi,
I am on SubQ 100mg testosterone per week. After 8 weeks i wanted to see where is my testosterone levels.
On Day 3(48 hours after injection) i checked at closest lab to my place - "lab A" and was surprised that total T is only 19.5. I expected to see peak of T, which should be probably more then 19.
Then on Day 5, i checked at big university "lab b" and was surprised again that Total T is now high - 25.
I couldn't understand which lab is correct, so i checked at third different "lab C". Result was 15.2
If you look lab a and lab c, then you see that Total T is going from 19.5-15, which could be normal.
In this case i should probably add more testosterone or switch from 1x shot per week to 2x shots to have more stable blood level.
If you look at lab b only(day 5) and result 25, then you don't need any more testosterone.
I know that sometimes lab do mistakes and etc, but the problem i don't feel any improvements on T shots and considering to increase T or switch to T-gel, but don't want because of "lab b" result.
At the moment i switched to 40mg 2x per week schedule just to have more stable results.
I am bit confused and would be interesting to hear others opinions?
Day 1, injection
Day 2,
Day 3 (lab A)
Total T 19.5 nmol/l, range 5.5-27
Day 4
Day 5 (lab B)
Total T 25.07 nmol/l, range 5.6-30
SHBG 28.1 nmol/l, range 10-57
FSH <0.1 U/l 0.95-11.95
Day 6 (lab C)
Total T 15.2 nmol/l, range 5.2 - 25

, because its shows enough T(25), decreased SHBG(due to endogenous T), and undetectable FSH.
