dlf,

Seems extremely odd to me.

How long after the shot was the 2nd test done? if it was more

than a couple of weeks, most of the T from that would have

diminished. And what was the cream- Androgel or something

else? Sometimes people have trouble absobing cream. Were

you still taking it up to the 2nd test? Tell us more.

I imagine there's a TRT regime that can get your levels much,

much higher.

Hi,

You can send such a question to Dr. Gambrell, Augusta GA.

It was only four days after the shots. But my question

is whether it is possible for the human body to simply

not use the testosterone, and simply pass it out of the

body. Do you see what I'm saying? I'm asking a very specific

question.

Yes it's possible. Rare and unexpected.

My doctor used the term " rapid metabolizer " as a possible

explanation for failure of a pellet implantation, but subsequent

T-cyp injections worked fine.
