New labs---Need advice

[Guest guest]

I got some new labs done last week and here are the results.

Testosterone Total---332 Range 280-800ng/dL

Free Testosterone----4.5 Range 6.8-21.5 pg/mL

Estradiol Sensitive--6 Range 3-70 pg/mL

I have tried the injections and my leg swells up and I get a fever/pain.

I tried gels and troche's and these labs are lower than when I started TRT.

My Dr. said to call the pharmacy that Dr.Shippen uses in PA. and see if they

have any suggestions. I called and they weren't much help. Plus I can't afford

to fly to PA right now to see Dr. Shippen.

Any suggestions,

Thanks,

Greg

Hi Greg,

Is this a first post I looked back to see if you posted days ago I don't see

anything.

I don't know what to tell you not sure about what your on when you did them

labs.

If your shooting T into your thigh what is the brand name of the Testosterone

and is it 200mgs/ml what size is your needle how much did you shoot and how

often.

I use test C to do my shots 200mgs/ml. I do my shots like Dr. Shippen dose his

for his self. I do a shot every 3 days using a small 27g 1ml X 1/2 " lg. needle

shooting into my thigh. I never have pain or swelling but when I used a 25g 1 "

lg. needle I had some pain no swelling.

If your using compounded Test C the oil they are using might not agree with you.

Also Dr. Shippen dose his shots subQ in the side of his belly he pinches up the

skin and shoots into this.

I don't do this it stings when I try this.

If your levels go down on Gels or creams it's your skin some people have a

thicker skin and the gels and creams don't get through most that have this

problem have a low Thyroid.

In this link are all the kinds of TRT there is do you know if your Primary or

Secondary if your Secondary you can try HCG doing 100 IU's a day subQ and this

acts like the LH message that tells your testis to make testosterone so if your

testis work good it will make your testis make your testosterone.
