I recently went to a trt doctor and took a blood test there, after i left i decided to go to a diff doctor a friend of mine uses and spoke highly of. He spoke to me about trt , i told him all my symptoms, i am a 43 yr old man, low energy, foggy, fatigued, no libido, lack of drive etc. He took my blood work and then gave me my first trt shot. In the meantime the first office i went to called me and told me my testosterone was 700. I dont know how thats possible, she then said maybe i was on test boosters, which i am not, i did have a protein bar before the test and 2 coffees, plus on amoxicillin and magnesium pills. Can a blood test be wrong or incorrect? should have the blood work from the second dr shortly, if my test is 700 and legit then should i continue with trt or could there be another problem? Thank you for any input.
 
What's your Free Test? Bio Test? E2?
Post the blood results. You probably don't even need to be on TRT and there is another underlying issue.

There is something amiss here. As has been noted by others, please oist your full lab results - with ranges - so as to help focus the conversation.

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.
