Had my bloods tested to see how my testosterone levels are after starting testosterone gel (also on Estrogel and Utrogestan) and apparently my levels are 4.5, 3 times what they should be. GP plans to write to the consultant to see how we should go forward but to be honest I'm panicking I've done myself damage.
Has anyone else had experience of similar?

No need to panick, you would know by symptoms if it was too much.
Mine was 3.5 which is above the range too and consultant said certainly not over replaced and looked at ratio with oestrogen. I understood that being over the top of the lab range did not mean too much T.
Thanks guys, the GP will keep me right but I think I'm definitely seeing some adverse symptoms, terrible acne in particular. Just a bit disappointed seeing as I know I was very lucky to have it prescribed in the first place!
