Testosterone was nearly back to normal, then dropped

[Teddy28]

I had a year of Lupron and Enzalutamide in 2022. Testosterone slowly came back to a high of about 240 in June and Sept 2023. Normal for me is around 350 - 375. Now this week T is down to 156. Is this sort of fluctuation normal? I had 6 months of ADT in connection with radiation for recurrent PCa in 2016 and my T returned to normal . By the way, PSA is still barely detectable for the past 6 months (less than 0.1)

Any thoughts?

It can fluctuate a lot. Always test in the morning.

[Teddy28 in reply to Tall_Allen]

OK thanks TA. I do test in the morning - before eating.

yes, really big fluctuations over months like you’ve seen are typical for me also.

I went through surgery, radiation, and Lupron for 2 years. I get bloodwork checked every 3 months. On my last visit, my testosterone dropped in half from 400 to 200. The latest bloodwork was done in the afternoon, others have all been in the morning. Went the following week for recheck in the AM, and went back up. AM bloodwork is recommended.
