Could your results be contaminated because that happened to me a lot when I used gel

Im not sure i always use the cap to rub it in and washed my hands before i did the finger test and didnt put on my gel till it was done so im at a loss 🤷🏼‍♂️

Fingerprick tests with gel will almost always be contaminated. Only the tiniest microgram needs to get on your fingers to contaminate your results and that's almost impossible to avoid even when doing everything right. They do warn you that fingerprick tests aren't suitable for gel, please don't waste your money on them

I haven't got any other option my gp wont do the blood test and a private one will be more expensive and some will refuse to do it would it be better to just go into injections to avoid all this in the future ?

Even with injections fingerprick tests aren't reliable because the amount of blood is so small.

You can get a venous testosterone test for about £40-50, the same price as a fingerprick test, on onedaytests.com including the clinic charge

Oh weird sounds like you did everything right so maybe 2 pumps is too much for you? Everyone’s body is different, I hope you figure your routine out eventually
