Could be: The only way to know would be to have your testosterone levels checked, since absorption of troches can vary. Studies show that 50-70% of the troche is actually swallowed not absorbed (int j pharm comp., 4, 414-420. 2000) so absorption varies. Forms like androgel, (which is administered topically) have been studied more closely, troches have not. Each individual is different so get tested!
