This last year I have had my labs done by Interpath, Quest, and Labcorp, basically I used whatever lab the doctor's office used.
Going foward I am going to select and stick with the same lab so that comparing my historical results is more consistent. Discounted Labs doesn't cover my state...
Hello everyone, I’ve had low T since college but no doctor ever wanted me to do anything about it. I had all the symptoms from lack of energy, depression, fatigue, low libido, brain fog. I was skinny, ate well, exercised a lot and my numbers have been between 200-400 tested every couple years...
I started trt early this year. I finally had a decent protocol but dashed it because I wanted to get off AI's. My current protocol is 200mg test cyp E7D. I have only been on it for two weeks, but I took an extra dose to front load, so I'm about three weeks in. I have read enough of these threads...
Based on symptoms and these labs, my nurse is willing to put me on TRT. My symptoms are irritability/temper, low libido, brain fog, less enjoyment from daily life..
I'm 63, 6'2", 185. Resistance train 4 days a week. Not obese. Any comments on my labs would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi everyone, not my first post but this seemed the most appropriate section to post this. I just got my latest lab work back, first full set since august. I’m approaching my 2 year mark on trt and I’m wondering where I go from here? First year I was on test cyp 140mg/week and ranged up to 160...
I have historically injected sub-q via the fat above my hips, but recently have been bruising a lot and bleeding there, so I began to inject sub-q in my quads.
I didn't connect the dots at the time, but around the same time began to feel like I had crashed my E2 as I could not get an erection...
Is there a standard dosing protocol for anastrozole? I've seen ED, EOD, twice a week, once a week and even once every two weeks.
How long does anastrozole stay in your system? Is there a point at which your E2 troughs relative to when you take a dose? Is there a certain time relative to dosing...

I've been at this for a few years now. I've tried various methods of administration and protocols, but always seem to settle back to what has been my go to protocol of 60mg E3.5D cyp.
After experimenting with a few different protocols over the past year - daily prop, daily cyp, EOD cyp, cream...
Posting for my significant other (40yo) who is going to get a hormone panel done with the hope of maybe correcting some imbalances if there are any. She has been on the pill her whole life and just stopped taking it. As a male I am very familiar with male hormones and have been on TRT for the...
Quest Diagnositcs' range is 35-155 pg/mL for Free Testosterone. That's 3.5-15.5 ng/dL.
Labcorp's range is 9-25 ng/dL.
That's a big difference. 3.5-15.5 and 9-25.
My question is: If you tested at 25 ng/dL on a Labcorp test, does that mean you would've tested at 15.5 ng/dL on the Quest...

I just started on the cream this weekend. I’m thinking about going in next week to run some labs to see where my levels are at and adjust from there. I know with the short half life of the cream, timing is really important for labs. So my question is, how many hours after I apply the cream...
Hello all,
Over the last few weeks, I’ve had 3 blood tests done. I’ve been concerned my T was low. I’ve had many of the symptoms the last few years. Anxiety, depression, zero libido, weak erections, brain fog, and lack of energy. Basically, I have felt like a shell of myself. It’s almost like...

I'm on daily subcutaneous testosterone cypionate injections and my doctor always has me do my labs in a 4-5 hour window post injection.
I know T levels are pretty stable on daily injections but does anyone know the timing of the peak and trough for daily subq cypionate injections?
I just want...
