Total T is 780 ng/dL. Is that good, bad, or indifferent?</p> <p>The honest answer is: it depends almost entirely on when you drew the blood. A result of 780 ng/dL at trough — just before your next injection — is very different from 780 ng/dL measured 36 hours after your last dose. One might indicate your protocol is working well. The other might mean your levels are crashing before your next pin. The number alone tells you almost nothing.</p>
