[QUOTE="Melody68, post: 277738, member: 46595"] Systemlord, thanks very much for your extensive thoughts on this very odd problem of mine. I don't doubt what you're saying, because in addition to your position, there have been others who also experienced a large difference between peak and trough throughout the day. The manufacturer of the gel (it's a generic equivalent of Androgel) claims that there is only a very slight peak two hours after application, which then drops minimally, leveling out for the next 24 hours. The graph almost looks like a straight line, which would indicate that you could do a lab test anytime after 4 hours right up to the 24th hour after application. That's what they say . . . but maybe some people don't absorb the T the way they're supposed to, causing greater blood level variations? I've contacted the endo (he's not back to me yet); I'm thinking the first step is a blood retest. If that repeats the dreadful result, then it would seem I should move to injectibles. I'll stay in touch . . . [/QUOTE]
