Injectable testosterone has a half-life of about 4 days or so. Levels spike and go high but then drop rapidly. Best time to check your level is about 4-5 days after injecting. If you check blood levels a few days before injecting it is going to be low. In my opinion the best testosterone treatment is with bio-identical pellets. Check in your area to see if anyone does pellet therapy.

I disagree with your provider. TSH is from the pituitary gland and is stimulating the thyroid to release T4. T4 is then converted to T3 which is what is used by the body. Your T3 level is perfect. Reason TSH went up is because you are on a thyroid supplement. Most important is how you are feeling. I encourage providers to not treat lab tests but rather treat patients and how they feel.
Lost taste and smell?
Check for Covid
