Testosterone dropped after a few months on the same dose

[whiting1986]

Hi guys, hope everyone is doing well.

Just after some advice from you wonderful people.

So when I got my 1st blood test done after 8 weeks on trt you can see my Free T was at 0.6nmol/l this was with 70mg a week. 35mg x 2 a week.

Now my second blood test which was 4/5 months after three 1st has my Free T down to 0.3nmol/l.

Both tests where done at trough just before the next injection. I know my prolactin is slightly over the range on the second test which I'm not to worried about .

The question is had anybody else's Testosterone dropped after being on Trt with the same dose after a while ?

And do you think it's worth upping myndose slightly?

I have just ordered another blood test just to double check but wanted to run it through you guys as always.

Hope you are all doing well and thanks in advance

Can you tell us more about your injection method / site / depth? Same vial of test used in both cases?

Do you feel any different now versus period of first test (not including the initial honeymoon period)?

Never unless I was manipulating my dose (increasing/decreasing).

Are you still f**king with UGL gear?

HI guys just after some feed back on people who have been on both test cyp and test E.

I know there similar and there's not quite much in it but wanted to see if people have a preference over the 2.

I was going to start cream but from a cost point of view I think this route would be better.


Any feed back from people who have been on both would be great.

I'm thinking test E at 70mg a week split into 2 doses.

Thanks in advance again guys

What does UGL mean ? I use the same brand that I have used the whole time. Proton test enanthate 1ml vials

Not really maybe a little more fatigue but that could be placebo

I would test one more time to make sure there wasn't a lab error or something. If your testosterone comes back low again, take more. Your first set of labs was quite high for your dose anyway, it would be the second result that makes more sense IMO.

Your first labs were done after 8 weeks. Not long enough. You need to wait at least 12 weeks. So your 2nd Labs I would consider more accurate.

Every time you do Labs they will vary. Injecting is not 100% accurate and of course vial strength will vary.

I feel my best at higher levels so I see no reason why increasing your dose would hurt.

Underground.

If you have been using the same formulation/manufacturer which you stated is Proton it should be consistent but even then I have heard some have not fared well using some of their products.

Wait on the results from your most recent labs

In my previous reply I never asked whether you were injecting strictly IM or strictly sub-q as it would not have made a difference.

Now if you were injecting strictly IM and switched over to sub-q you may have been one that ran into issues hitting lower levels but even then you have been on the forum long enough that you would have stated such from the get-go.

You didn’t stay the same. Biology is constantly changing all the time. I did notice extremely consistent results on oral testosterone which shows intestinal absorption is more consistent overtime.

UPDATE!!!!!

So guys as you can see my levels are the same if not slightly lower. Them trough levels are pretty much the same as someone who is not on trt.

What would my peak be reaching roughly out of curiosity?

I'm thinking about increasing it to 80mg a week.

Cheers

I'd be going alot higher with these labs. There's being careful, there's being very careful, and then there's just straight up wasting time.

Straight to 100 mg if it were me, at least.

What's your trough roughly around mate ?

I don't have a trough level for my current protocol, but I took a midpoint level of 1230 ng/dL total, 28 ng/dL free, 30 pg/mL e2. This was on 35 mg test cyp EOD, and I took labs afternoon of the day after injection.

Thanks man, greatly appreciated,I'll up.mine to 100mg. 50mg every 3.5 days and do bloods in 8 weeks
