I was at 2000-3000 total testosterone for 16+ weeks, mightve been 20 weeks at most. Oops. I've gone back down to cruise levels, bouncing between 400-800TT

Got bloods done. Most of the levels look fine except my cholesterol, particularly LDL is high

Historically my doctor has been very averse to high cholesterol. I'm worried if I gave him these results he'd pull my TRT script

How long do I have to wait, before my bloods are better?
