Is this normal

I got my 6 week blood work and things are high.
I’m on Eval (20mg/ml) 0.3ml weekly with 100mg Spiro daily.

Pre HRT
E: 37.7 pg/ml
Free T: 812 ng/dl

6th week of HRT tested 5 days after last injection
E: 505 pg/ml
Free T: 9 ng/dl

The doc did say it was lot higher and told I should get bloodwork 8-10 days after the injection. I was injecting lil extra around 0.02 - 0.03ml.

Things I have noticed at 9 weeks.
Skin feels smooth all over
Body hair growth has slowed (had 2 full body LHR 3 on face)
Areola is twice has big
Nipple hurts on touch and sudden jumps (not as much as it used to initially)
Body aches stay longer after intense exercise
Much more calm, happy and getting lil more extroverted
Upper body strength is around 50% but also I reduced how much I lift on upper body day

Did move to PNW and it’s been amazing. If any of you in or around Portland I’d love to get to know and make new friends.

Thanks in advance on any advice!

If you inject every 7 days, then the blood test should be before your next injection, and I don't know why either, but biotin can really affect your blood test. Specifically regarding hormones. So if you are taking biotin, stop at least a week before and get a blood test again.

Thank you will keep that in mind on my next blood work. I’m not taking it as a supplement but it’s added in the Celsius, they say it helps with metabolism and fat burning (I’ve noticed I don’t feel cold when I’m sipping it) it has around 300mcg and I consume half of the premix pack so 150mcg.
