WTH?? Test levels are thru the roof, and I feel like shit!!

[Vision]

Im seeing dr Saya and was thinking I would ask him to bump my test injections up. Currently Im taking .8 ml per week... However at 1500 free testosterone, Ill bet he says hell no....
Is there stuff happening in me that I should take care of??

Thanks
Steve

What exactly are your symptoms? How many times do you inject weekly? How long after your last injection did you get your blood drawn?

 

[Vision]

Symptoms are lack of motivation, lack of interest in sex, inability to keep an erection....
I inject on Fridays... My blood test was done on the following Tuesday.
Thanks for looking...

 

[CoastWatcher]

Was your estradiol (sensitive) run? How long have you been on this protocol?

 

[Vision]

Yes, sorry I meant to post that also
Estradiol, Sensitive 52.0 High pg/mL 8.0 - 35.0 02

I am also using HCG 50 isu twice a week.

Thanks for looking!!

 

[CoastWatcher]

Can you confirm your dose in milligrams? Millilitres is a volume and not a dose.

 

[Vince Carter]

If that's the first time you've injected on Fri, had a blood draw on Tues, 5 days later, and you're still showing over 1500 total T, I would suspect lab error. That's outrageous. Other possibilities, sorry to say, is that you're drawing the wrong amount in your syringes. i.e., 8ml is not a dosage. doses are in mg. What is your dosage in milligrams? And days you inject?
I appreciate some others questions there but they miss basic information like this all the time and it's counterproductive, as in treating a symptom instead of obvious issues right up front.

Hi Guys, the vial my test comes in says inject .8ml once per week. Also my syringes say 3ml on the bottom...
Those results have GOT to be wrong. I have an apt on Wednesday to talk to Dr.
Thanks
Steve

 

[Vince Carter]

With your 3ml syringe, to what mark on the syringe are you drawing your T, too? Trying to get a feel for your dose. Your vial is what concentration...200mg/mL or ????

 

[Vision]

The vial says 200mg/ml. Im drawing to 2 ticks below 1 on the syringe.
I hope that's where I should be drawing to, that where I have always been dosing....UGH!!
Thanks for setting me straight!!

Vision, that would be 160mg of medication.

My .02 on it .. I wouldn't get too worked up on this round of results. Split your dosage to 2x per week (.4ml / 80mg), retest your serum & free test (or SHBG in place of free test) in another month or so. Run it by Dr. Saya, I suspect he will might go that route. If it's > 1500ng/dl thereafter, then you can review your options with him and everyone then ...

 

[Vision]

Thanks VC, is there anything else in the labs that I should look at with Dr. S??

Also as an aside, don't know if it has anything to do with anything, however ive recently developed acid indigestion. Dry cough and constant clearing my throat...
