Testosterone results

[Lost Grizzly]

I have a full panel results due any day now.

So my results are as follows:

Testosterone, Total, LC/MS 463.0 ng/dl
Testost., % Free+weakly Bound 19.5 %
Testost., F+W Bound 90.3 ng/dl

Dr gave me some Axiron topical solution to try for 30 day and come back to visit him and see how I feel.

Question about the Axiron if someone has the answer.

It is 30mg / 1.5ml per pump. I am to use 2 pumps per day or 60mg / 3.0ml. What would that be equal to if I was injecting test weekly?

Interested in the answer too.

I went from below range free T to near mid range on 60mg of Axiron in 2 weeks.
Total T from 383 to 902.
Free Testosterone(Direct) 13.6 (7.2-24.0) pg/mL BN

Axiron is great, just too expensive and I've read IM cypionate is a more efficient delivery method. Injecting 2x a week is said to keep levels even. Are you getting an AI like Aromasin too?

No AI prescribed by Dr. I have only been on the Axiron for 3 days now and came down with a cold on the first day so can't say I notice a change being only 3 days and sick. My Dr wants to see me after taking the Axiron 4 weeks so that will be the first week of Dec. I assume he will want to do BW again to see what has changed. Not sure of the cost of Axiron, but I would rather get off of it and go with injections.

As for the AI I will cross that bridge when this trial period of Axiron is done and new blood work is done. However I have read that Zinc works great as a natural AI. If you Dr won't prescribe you and consider some Zinc.

You'll be waking up on the kickstand again pronto. I was on Axiron 4 weeks and felt way better, wife happier too. I paid out of pocket to get started on IM cyp $43 100cc of 200mg/mL at the pharmacy. Why they can't figure out how to get a script settled in 5 days is a mystery. But the Axiron was almost gone, so...

Here's something I found when doing research;
