After having consistent low levels of T whilst being on Androfem and now Testim my latest results from a venous blood test have come back as T 13.3 and FAI 10.3? Surely this must be wrong? Any thoughts and should I panic yet? Xx

[Floo36]

It does look like from bloods that you are absorbing it now.  How much do you use?

[Flan747]

Panicking now as that’s way too high! I use Testim over 7 days but have nebebr for my levels above 1.9. Thinking this must be wrong? Looking up symptoms I haven’t got any of them. I feel very anxious and breathless but have had that a long time now xx

[Floo36]

It may be that you dont get any side affects but also no benefit from it.  They do say that estrogen needs to be sorted before testosterone benefits in some as some benefit from it anyway, I never have.  Is your estrogen Ok and symptoms gone, although you say anxiety and breathless which is one of my low estrogen symptoms?

[Flan747]

Hi Floo. So never felt that settled on the patches, I’m on 100 although things have got worse and I was putting it al down to low estrogen and thinking of going higher. I level was 661 although I know that fluctuates xx

[Floo36]

It does sound like you may need some more Estrogen, if you are fluctuating you won't know how much you get from the patch but if you still dont feel right then an increase sounds reasonable.

[Flan747]

Thanks Floo, need to get this T sorted first it’s scared the life out of me I won’t lie xx

[Floo36]

Where do you apply the testosterone and how long before the test did you apply it?

[Flan747]

I apply it on my inner thigh and it was about 4 hours before which is what I always do and always had low readings? Xx

[Floo36]

You may get a peak and then level out. 

[Flan747]

Morning. I’ve not applied it today as it’s freaked me out if I’m honest. Now the worry of not applying ? Can’t win at the minute x

[Floo36]

I dont think its going to harm you so sort worry.  If you weren't getting any bad side effects then you should be ok.

[Flan747]

Your right thank you, I’ve applied it 😄 xx

[joziel]

I think maybe apply it every other day for now and request a repeat blood test?

[Flan747]

That’s a great idea Joziel thank you so much, surely the results are not accurate, I would be taking like a man😄
