Brief Answer:
No need to worry
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I understand your concerns.
Following is my reply:
1) It is not a major concern to worry about an extra shot of testosterone.
2) Since you are already accustomed to using these hormones, additional one shot of testosterone may not cause significant side effects as in others who are not on these hormones.
3) As of now I dont see any reasons for you to worry or panic.
Let me know if you need anymore help.
Regards
