 Fasting n blood work
What are yalls thoughts on this. I read on the livestrong site that u don't have too. Just got results back n I didn't fast for the test. Before trt I was in the 400's total test. My protocol is 50 mgs prop eod so 175 weekly. My results for total test was only 675. I figured I would be higher then that.

the clinic that I use says you dont have to fast for this type of bloodwork.
If they are checking blood sugar then fasting becomes important.
-
only fast if they are checking your lipids too. if not then dont fast.

Yes, I think your test would have been higher. Everyone is different though obviously. At 200mg of test per week, my total T is still off the charts >1500. I am dropping dosage in small increments between bloods in effort to hit 1200 or so. How long have you been on TRT?
-
At 200/week I'm over 1500 started at 365. I'm using cyp and you're using Prop maybe a difference?

What I'm saying is prop mg for mg is stronger then cyp. 175 prop is probably = to 200 mgs of cyp. I don't get how guys with lower test levels naturally are over twice as high on the same dose as me
-
who cares about numbers. if you feel good at that dose then stay there. make sure your e2 is in check.

My e2 is good I'm at 25. I wana see how I feel around the 1,000-1200 range. What do y'all think bump it to 60 mgs eod to see how I feel n where I'm at.

 never know
Just to add a little bit of info:
I had my initials bloods done this morning as I am starting with hrt with ULV and they asked that i fast. Maybe it was because they tested lipids.
something to think about.

Dave - yeah, they had you fast so eating doesn't skew your lipid profile.
