My total testosterone is lower despite higher dose

Pancreas

Newbie
Before I was doing 125-130mg and my testosterone after 3 days of injections was 963ng and free 24.1.

Now, I've been doing 145mg for weeks and my testosterone after 3 days is 791ng and 26.4 free.

I did labs as the exact time as last time, exactly 3 days after. I did not mess up my injections or anything either

I recently had eyelid surgery and have using steroid eyedrops (dexamethasone) and methyl prednisone which is oral steroid, plus antibiotics, unfortunately, I did the lab while on all of this and a few days after surgery. I'm still on eyedrop and oral steroids.

I wonder if the corticosteroids affected the effectiveness of synthetic testosterone, hence my lower levels

I googled if oral corticosteroids can affect TRT effectiveness and AI told me yes, then I searched if corticosteroid raise SHGB and AI said yes, this could explain why my levels are lower due to higher SHGB as I read people who have higher SHGB respond worse to TRT than people with lower SHGB

@Pancreas You need to properly post a log so we can actually help you! you want us to guess no log?
start by posting the blood work blur our personal info

again post a log here is how
I think you have good options for cycles but TRT is the base right? we need to see your whole TRT log before we really start talking about cycles, right? like yea you do this or that but its all guesses for us in the end of it all
@Pancreas start a new thread with your TRT log so we can understand you better and help you, 10min to get one up here is how TO

HOW-TO LOG?

Why is a Log Journal important?

  • Doing a log will actually help you way more than just dropping random updates. When you lay it all out week by week you start to see patterns in your body that you won’t catch otherwise.
  • Other guys here run logs all the time and there’s no privacy issue, nobody is asking for your name or anything personal, it is just training, diet, and how the compound feels.
  • The feedback you get is also way better because people can follow along and spot things you might miss. It also helps the next guy who is thinking about running the same compound so you are giving back while you learn.
  • Even if you think you might not stick with it, just starting the log makes it easier to come back and add quick notes. That way you get more out of what you are running instead of keeping it all in your head.

To really guide you we need more info from you.
  • Please share your diet, training, cardio, sleep, supplements etc log with us in a NEW thread, full log journal so our guidance is based on facts you provide.
  • It will take 15-20 minutes max.
  • We have 100s of years of experience between us, so you need to post a LOG Journal with your stats (weight,height,age, years training, cycle history) diet, training, cardio, supplement, sleep details. If you don't log what you eat or train now, open NOTES on phone and start recording it there and paste here. Very easy.
  • Please post a Log Journal asap for us
