Huge inconsistency between tests

Hi All,

Had a full panel taken end of July this year and as a result I’ve been advised to take 10mg DHEA Mon-Fri and 25mg of Proviron Mon, Wed, Fri on the basis that total T was reasonable. Fast forward to 6 weeks later and a re-test of just Hormones, and my Total T and Free T have halved! The plot thickens in so far as the tests were taken on a Saturday and didn’t arrive at the lab until late Wednesday and whilst a number of people got a refund because full panels couldn’t be undertaken after that time, I was assured testosterone would be unaffected and can last weeks in an SST Vacutainer! Obviously this gives me no idea on what effect the supplementation has had on my hormone levels and will need a re-test. One of questions though is, has anyone ever experienced or know what could cause such a drop in levels after just 6 weeks?

Thank you.


It’s possible the proviron was suppressive to your HPTA. Most studies show that doses as low as yours are not supposed to be though. Nothing in your labs indicates that either.

Thanks.

Is anybody else able to shed light on discrepancy. TIA.
