Is there some way you could have gotten some testosterone gel onto your arm where they take the venous blood draw from? Where do you apply it, to your thighs? Could you have wiped your hands afterwards on your arms or something?
The problem is it can take several weeks to get off your skin (they say 4 weeks or something). I'd suggest applying it with a little silicone spatula like a kitchen spatula so you don't even touch it. Put it on your upper thighs and put a long-sleeved shirt or jumper or whatever on first, to cover your arms...

Yes outer thigh Joziel, I’m thinking that is possible even though I’m careful, it must be that, it can’t have torn that high. Just had a reply from my specialist who isn’t concerned but suggested smithed one for peace of mind so that’s what I will do, thank you for replying ladies xx

To be honest I was hoping for something to stand out in my bloods to account for the anxiety that I’m yet to get rid of but I don’t think that’s the answer? Xx

I think it could most definitely account for your anxiety! Testosterone is going to make you feel pumped and that's a very high dose of it. (If the bloods are accurate!)

I’m booked in for next week to have them done again so we will see. Will let you know. I keep thinking I need more estrogen but don’t really want to go above 100 if I’m honest xx

Maybe ask them to take it from your other arm? It's unlikely you've accidentally contaminated both your arms(!!?).

Why don’t you want to go above 100 if you need it? If most of your symptoms are controlled on the 100 you may only need a little more Estrogen.
