While reviewing blood tests and my doc's medication instructions this morning, I discovered that I've accidentally been injecting testosterone cypionate at 200 mg/week rather than the prescribed 100 mg/week for at least a couple of months.
Apparently at some point my pharmacy re-filled my testosterone cypionate prescription with 200 mg/mL solution when I had previously received 100 mg/mL solution, and I didn't notice. Crap!
Previously at 100 mg/week testosterone cypionate with no HCG, my testosterone was at 736 mg/dL [range 241-827] which is at 85% range, but estradiol was low at 16 pg/mL. My doc added 350-450 IU/week HCG to bump up estradiol.
At 200 mg/week testosterone cypionate, I must be way over the top of the testosterone range, and I would guess estrogen conversion is high. Crap!
At least this explains why I'm not feeling particularly great.
Lesson learned - - - keep an eye on the testosterone cypionate concentration provided by your pharmacy!
