Hi
How high would the total testosterone test need to be in order for it to be too high? I am asking this relative to maintaining good health and not doing damage.
I get my blood tested at Lab-Corp and the range is 241-827 ng/dL.
I usually get my blood tested on day 7, 156 hours after the injection of testosterone-cypionate. For my last test I came in at 855ng/dL. I thought this was a little high myself so I dropped from 125 mg/week to about 115 or so. When I followed up with my doc he was confirming the original dosage and then I told him that when I got the fax of the bloodwork I dropped the dosage. I currently have the 3cc syringes, but I asked them to order me 1cc ones that way I can measure more accurately.
The bottle I have of T-cyp from the compounding pharmacy my doc uses has 10mL 200mg/whatever.
I have calculated that I have "intended to have" used 1830 mg, or 9.15mL. I really doubt I will get another shot out of it, so I am measuring on the high side.
Here are my blood tests, all done on day 7 @ 156 hours past injection +/- 1 hour for each month chronologically. The dosages below are from the doctor, while dropping to 112/115 was my idea.
100 mg/week test = 515ng/dL
150 mg/week test = 1055 ng/dL
125 mg/week test = 855 ng/dL
The doc wants to see the blood test come in around 650-750, but seems most concerned that it is over 824 and therefore flagged as high on the report. In some ways I am happy to have a local doctor at will prescribe, but the dude I see works for the owner doctor and he is old and cranky and stuck in his ways. Whether I got my blood tested on day 1 or day 7, I do not think their interpretation would change.
Am I losing about 30 percent from my max over the week? It seems like with injections you are always going to have a different T level every day. Is there really a number in which if you go over 2 out of 7 days is bad?
My LDL did go up 15 points from the end of 100mg/week injections to where I am now. The LDL is still good at 77, and HDL has come up again to 43 maybe.
Does the bottle need to be shaken at all before injections? Does the T settle in oil like salad dressing does?
Any recommendations here? I hate to sound as if I am self-prescribing, but it is more like self-confirmation.
Thank you
