Skewed results

[Zooka15]

I got my results back from the defy medical initial blood work and my total T is greater than 1500 and free T is greater than 50. This seems wrong considering I use 100mg a week and out of the past 3 years I average about 700 on total T. Can these values get messed up?

When was your last injection in regards to your blood draw?

 

[Zooka15]

I inject twice a week 50mg mon and Thursday. Blood draw was on Wednesday.

Tests can be shanked. Not often, but it certainly does happen.

I should make a correction I was doing EOD at 28mg during this test I just switched back to the TW this week. But still for the past 3 years I average about 700 TT with low free T 12-15.

I am sending in all my previous labs to defy as well since I think this may be skewed.

Yeah your T does look very high, hopefully it's just a mistake. Let us know what Defy Medical tells you.

I would surmise that your SHBG is not low and that you don't need an EOD routine if you were pulling 1500 on a ~48hr trough for testing. But then you can't do one thing and switch to a totally different routine and then wonder why your test is out of whack...things don't work that way.

I was doing EOD for awhile just felt no different from it, plus less injections. I have not been switching protocols just randomly. My highest test level over 3 years is 750. So there is definitely something wrong with those numbers I believe. Dosage had always been the same.
