TT all over the place

My total testosterone was tested at the beginning of May at 209 ng/dL
in late afternoon, quite below range. Endo wants another blood test in
the morning in late May, which is results in a level of 274, just 12
above the lower range. He says no treatment is warranted, get tested
in 3 to 6 months. I book the test for September.

Cue a very difficult mental time for me. Compared to not getting TRT,
discovering the affair is nothing. From getting the result in
mid-June, till right now, I am in a horrible, pre-RP days stasis. I am
being denied the treatment that I have needed for so long. Dark
thoughts, no meditation, eating crap, watching porn, biting nails
again. Lifting regimen is laughable at about 3 sessions a month. Lift
numbers have just been maintained, so there's that, and I always hit
my protein goal. I have gained 5kg, and I am tired. All. The. Time.
There's a point to all this puke. Spare me the spanking, I know it's
bad.

I decide for my September test to not sleep at all the night before.
Surely, with my lack of training, BF now about 18% (14% in May), my TT
will be dangerously low and my butt can taste that sweet testosterone
undecanoate the endo has told me about. Just got the results. Crap:
338 ng/dL. Never been tested that high. And I still feel tired and
morning wood is 50%. Any one has a clue? For both my May and September
tests, LH, FSH, SHBG and FAI are all in range.

I am not keen on "sourcing" myself TRT, if you know what I mean, so I
need a plan. Right now, it consists of getting my ass back in the gym
and milk Stronglifts until I plateau on SQ and BP, then switch to
5/3/1. Either the beginners version, or go straight to BBB. I'd like
input on that as well.
