I've never touched a steroid, prohormone, or done any kind of hormonal modification supplements. I am an avid weightlifter. I do excersize a lot, but I don't overtrain. I will admit I push to the limits, but I've been at it long enough to know when to stop pushing to avoid overtraining. I regularly sleep 8 hours a night. It was more in the range of 10-12 prior to any HRT, as I needed that much to not feel like complete crap. I find I don't need as much sleep now, which is great. The fat intake of my diet ranges from 15-20% on a regular basis. My diet is very clean, very nutritious. The only thing it lacks is vegitables, which I almost never eat. But I make up for that with vitiamen and mineral supplementation. I am a very healthy person overall. I don't drink excessivly (maybe 3-4 times a year of a good hard drunk, at most), do drugs, and etc. There is no apparent cause for this.

The only copy of my labs I have are the most recent ones, which include 2+ months on androgel 1% (5g). I'm gonna track down my original labs as well.

It's worth noting, my overall T range tested initially (prior to any supplementation) at 250ish, then 2 weeks later (on androgel) at 350, then a month or so later at 722. Is it common for androgel to cause such jumps?

Here are my most recent labs, I open them up to you all's experiance for interpretation:
Testosterone, Free+weakly bound:
Testosterone Serum: 568
Testosterone % free+ weaklybound 26.3
Testosterone Free+weakly bound 149.4 ng/dl

Thyroxine (t4) free, direct S 1.65

TSH 3.59

Ferritin, Serum 143


Total Serum Test: 722

Hemoglobin 15.4
Hematocrit 44.5
MCV 86

MCHC 34.6

Platelets 181

Yes, that is a good total T number for the gel you are applying. If you stated 5mgs, that was probably a good day tested early in morning. Your Thyroid Stimulating Hormone is pretty high at 3.59.... I am not best suited to advise here but it has been explained to me that this is the hormone from the pituitary that stimulates the thyroid to work Perhaps indicating that there is a problem as you pituitary is having to excessively out the stuff (TSH) to make it work normally. It could indicate you are hypothyroid and this could cause your low T, amongst other things. I am not sure how T3 and T4 apply to that. Did I get that right?? HAN??
