Lab results seem way too high

Hi all,

I started TRT ~8 weeks ago. Taking 28mg test prop every day. I know that dose is on the higher side. I just got my labs back and the numbers seem extremely high. I wonder if they are right or something got messed up. I didn't take my shot that day until after I had the blood drawn. Should I just have the blood work done again or drop down to like 20mg/day then redo them? I'm feeling pretty good and no noticable sides.

SHBG was 47.8 range 16.5-55.9 a few months ago. I didn't have that tested this time.

Yes your numbers seem too high. How long after your injection did you have your Labs? Do you use HCG?

I actually think 20 mg would be too high and I would wait at least 12 weeks after changing your protocol to her labs.
 
Test prop peaks very high it's not surprising really
Not saying it's super accurate but on cycle planner test prop at 28mg a day peaks almost as high as 150mg of test e twice week
So 200mg of test prop a week peaks as much as 300mg of test e a week

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.
