On Friday I will graduate from college and in January I start my Master's program. Also I saw my doctor on monday and she increased my dosage because my levels dropped between my 3 month and 6 month checkup. They were still within the normal range so she gave me the choice of staying on the same dosage or increasing. Anyone know why levels drop like that?

Congratulations on graduating!! (I went to my girlfriends graduation last week actually:p )
You must/should be proud of yourself. What are you graduating in?
And youre doign a Masters?! Wow!! All the best for that! :)
What are you doing your Masters in?
Good luck with the upped dosage, I hope it goes well for you and stays consistent.
I dont know why your levels would have dropped. Do you know what your levels are?
Hopefully they will be sorted now.
My levels have dropped, they are at the very low end of "normal" I think, so they dont want to up my dosage, but I kinda feel like its low.
My last results came out as 15.8nmol/l. I dont really know what it means though!
Thanks. I graduated with a bachelors in Information Technology and my Master's will be the same. In october they were 12.6 free and 435 total. and this month they were 11 free and 304 total.

Depending on your age, 304 is on the really low end of an average male. If you're a young adult, I'm pretty sure you made the right choice to up your dose. Also, your free testosterone seems to be really low for the average male both times you've been tested. Is your doctor aware of this or just not paying any mind to it at all?
Bodily adjustment I suppose.
Make_It_Good: (Note: This is given that 15.8 nmol/L is your TOTAL T level.) I work better when I read it as ng/dL, which after conversion makes your total T levels to be about 455.3. At my 3 month I had 464.9. Male Total T levels are considered "normal" as low as 200, but don't believe it. Bio males lose normal function, like libido etc., below 500. Depending on age, there's an average level. Being 20 now, I should be more around the 700 range. That's truly normal, but about 650, give or take, is a general average for men. Thought I'd share some knowledge since it truly concerns me personally. I want to have truly normal levels.
Congrats troy!
Wolf man thank you for sharing I'll definitely keep a note of this.
Jason - I'm an older adult so I expected low numbers but didn't realize how low they were until I read Wolf man's post.
Wolf man - thanks for the info. I didn't know that.
Thanks Xander

Thats my booty dance for you graduating
lol Thanks Wesley :D
Congrats on graduating! I would like to second Wesley's booty dance, that way you can have two people shakin' it. :D Finishing a Master's is no easy task: my partner just finished his as well, and I can honestly say that it takes serious effort to do so. Be proud!
Ayden - Thanks for the booty dance. I'm just starting my Master's. :)
