[QUOTE="madman, post: 215464, member: 13851"] You are injecting 150mg T/week (75 mg every 3.5 days). As you can clearly see you are hitting a high-end trough TT 1098 ng/dL but more importantly with an SHBG 26 nmol/L your trough FT would be absurdly high. Normal SHBG would be 30-35 nmol/L. CFTZ (TruT) would have your trough FT level 41.27 ng/dL. Keep in mind that your peak TT, FT, and estradiol will be higher. FT 5-10 ng/dL is considered low. FT 16-31 ng/dL (top-end) is healthy. Most men will do well with FT 20-30 ng/dL. Some may choose/feel better running higher levels. Comes down to the individual. Most struggling with sides are running to high an FT level. Excess FT levels can result in acne/oily skin (genetically prone), accelerated balding (genetically prone), drive down HDL, increased RBCs/hemoglobin/hematocrit (common), overstimulation of the CNS (common), bloating/water retention due to androgens effects on the retention of electrolytes (common). Let alone many end up trying to manage estradiol with the use of an aromatase inhibitor. Some of the side effects are due to testosterone metabolites estradiol/DHT. Easy to see that your RBCs/hemoglobin/hematocrit let alone estradiol is elevated due to running a very high trough FT. You easily have room to lower your overall weekly dose and bring down your FT level which will have a big impact on driving down your RBCs/hemoglobin/hematocrit and estradiol let alone may end up feeling better overall minus any sides. If one truly feels good overall, blood markers were healthy, minus any sides then I would say leave it be. You could easily still hit a healthy high-end FT running a TT 800ng/dL. Even then keep in mind that depending on your protocol (dose of T/injection frequency) there can be a significant difference in peak--->trough. Too many get caught up on running absurdly high FT levels let alone at trough! [/QUOTE]
