Flatlined Bloods

[ucmenow?]

Hello brothers,
I’ve been on TRT for about three years.. never really got bloods taken after starting.
Got some bloods back, test levels were low (I intentionally suppressed them a little, but e2 was very low so I upped the dose. Been taking 125mg 2x a week in Attempt to elevate e2 a little)

i got follow up bloods and my results came back today, basically flatlined. 13ng/dl total test, (250-1000 ref), and 1.7pg/ML free test.
i pinned 150mg 6 days before bloods.
SHBG and DHEA both in reference.

Any ideas why this could be?
do blood tests come back wrong sometimes?
ive felt pretty good in weeks leading up to test. Confusing for sure.

Looking for any input.
thanks

Were you taking AI?

I have not taken any AIs.

Yeah you’re levels are basically back to baseline after 7 days

Pick a dose and Rick with it. Be consistent and give it time. Don’t just take a dose, increase etc and chase.

I was under the impression 14 days was how long it would take before the test worked it’s way out of my system.
I believe this is how I originally flatlined my e2. (Bad timing / missing shots)
however my first test was after 8 days and showed a reading of 389.

this is what I’ve been doing. However I took too long to get bloods. Once I realized where I was (low test, low e2), I increased the dosage. Now the test shows I have zero test in my body after 6 days. A bit confusing.

Or your test is crap , but you’re basically back to base line after 7 days.

Order/test came from my PCP..
I also don’t think my testosterone can possibly be under 20pg/dL after consistent injections and 150mg 6 days prior.
Also have been gaining size / muscle simply by doing push-ups. 185 lbs @ 5’11. Diet sucks but I don’t gain weight. Blood pressure is perfect.
Not sure what to think. Only difference is the testosterone, but both from BOP sponsor.

That’s my opinion I think you’re shooting olive oil
