I introduces myself here and here. Here are my new labs after a few months of using Propionate, 0.125 ml (12.5mg) a day.

How come my T levels dropped so much? Vitamin D increased from 25 but still needs more work. My DHT doesn't look high so I don't understand why I keep getting new facial hair. Mornig salivary cortisol wa 0.36 in 0.025-0.6.
My Thyroid and prolactin look a little better. But I still feel like sh!t.

Why is my IGF1 so high? Before TRT it was below the normal range.
 
Yeah it was cypionate before September 2018 and only 90 mg a week.
My current T level is basically the same as before TRT. :mad:

Does it matter that I had the flu when I did the test?
 
Now I'm thinking it's probably because I inject in the morning so when measured 24 hours after the injection its level had dropped.
 
The flu not going to affect your testosterone levels when you're on TRT. I would go back on testosterone cypionate and increase the amount you inject. At least that's my opinion.

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.
