[QUOTE="madman, post: 279210, member: 13851"] Not sure what method (calculated, direct immunoassay, ED/UF) was used for testing your FT as you never posted reference range. Even then we can rely on the cFTV and with a robust trough (7 days post-injection) TT 622 ng/dL, low SHBG 16 nmol/L and Albumin 4.3 g/dL (default) your trough FT 18.8 ng/dL would be on the upper end for cFTV. Healthy young male with normal SHBG would be hitting cFTV 13-15 ng/dL and this is at peak (highest point) early AM. Shitkicker here is you are hitting a high-end trough FT (7 days post-injection) which means that your peak TT/FT will be much higher. You would most likely fare better splitting your weekly doses into more frequent injections which will clip the peak--->trough and blood levels will be more stable throughout the week. Even then as I stated previously you need to post your CBC (complete blood count) which includes critical blood markers RBCs, hemoglobin and hematocrit. Again where does your iron/ferritin sit and did you have a full thyroid panel done? [/QUOTE]
