Testogel t level question

[Geofftek]

Hello,
I have been a member for a few months. Just reading and learning as much as I can. Bought Nelsons book.
43 years of age.
i have been on TRT for 7 weeks now. Before I started my t level was 3.9 (9.9-27.8).
After three weeks on testogel:
testosterone 25.7(9.9-27.8)
estradiol. 68(28-156)
no further levels were passed on to me from that test.

6 week stage:
testosterone 9.9(9.9-27.8)
estradiol. 39(28-156)
shbg. 22(15-48)
hemoglobin 144(130-175)
HCT .44(.38-.50)
calculated free t. 237(91-579)

i will get more results when I see the doc in 2 days.
Over the past 4 months I have had everything tested and all came into normal range except for testosterone and estradiol.

So my question is, why would my t levels drop on testogel from 25.7 to 9.9?

I hope this has not been answered before. I did search it.
Any advice would be appreciated.
thank you.

Your levels dropped after your body stopped producing on its own. This is to be expected. You will need to increase the amount you are using.

Geofftek Hi, it seems to me most see better results when injecting, injecting twice a week the levels stay nice and constant.

It really does not make any sense to me that your T level dropped with same dose and product. What dose of testogel are you using?

I am on 2 packets every morning.

i am very lucky to have found a doctor that knows what he is doing. He has given me a script for HCG, which is in the process of being filled. I'm sure he will look at Nebido when I see him tomorrow. He believes in staggering injections to reduce peaks and troughs.

But this drop in my t level has me worried.
Can testogel stop being effective after a short time?

I googled it and found others have had this, but I don't really know how credible that site was.
On a different note, my doc told me to take 150ui of HCG everyday.?
if I remember correctly he thinks Nebido should be used every 2 weeks.?

thank you Nelson and others for your replies
