increased TRT by 20 mg's a day (gel) and levels went from 654 to 1211.2

Can anyone explain this increase by just 20mg's bringing total to 60mg's...I think the test is wrong....pun intended

I'm not an endocrinologist but sometimes the body doesn't eliminate things along a power curve. For example alcohol is processed out of the body at a linear rate.

If your body's ability to eliminate testosterone is capped at a specific rate, is it possible that a 50% marginal increase in intake could result in a 100% higher levels?

The other thing is that you might be comparing apples to oranges. Are the tests at the same time of day, same workouts, meals, sleep, hydration, etc?

Interesting
Do you think that the blood draw was bad as a possibility?
