Started 50mg of gel two weeks ago. Will be switching to injecting at home in a couple more weeks.
Lower SHBG men do better on EOD or daily injections, frequent injections can lower CBC labs across the board and maintain steadier more consistent levels. Your Total T is only 71 ng/dL and estrogen is already 25 pg/mL, you will have problems controlling estrogen if you do infrequent injections.
It would be nice if your labs had reference ranges.
“Gel”
It would seem you are either severely underdosed or a bad absorber of the gel. What does your doc have to say about these numbers? What was your total T before you started? How are you feeling?
I think whoever designed that interface for the labs needs to be shot for their font choice. Other than that you already have responses with experience behind them so I have nothing to add.
These are my labs before starting. I will be getting more labs in 8 weeks after I start the injections. I am just seeing a Dr at a local urgent care. I had been seeing him for bloodpressure prior to finding out I had low t. I have also been on split dose methadone for almost a decade. 145mg total. I believe I was probably kind of low prior to that because my facial hair never really came in
I am a union pipefitter so I’m on my feet all day and I have always felt off since I was a child I though it was fibromyalgia or chronic fatigue. My sugar cravings disappeared on like day 2 of the gel and I started feeling foggy and almost worse than before. I think it could be my body adjusting from a ton of sugar to a small amount in the evening.
