[QUOTE="jacb, post: 215476, member: 18836"] Thank you Madman [B]Most men will do well with FT 20-30 ng/dL.[/B] [I]Noted[/I] [B]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).[/B] [I]Fortunately, I haven’t suffered from oily Skin.

I ran my same SHBG and Albumin numbers through the CFTZ (TruT) free Testosterone Calculator and played with my Total Testosterone levels until it gave a Free Testosterone value of 30 ng/dL. It equates to approximately 800ng/dL in my case assuming the SHBG and Albumin numbers don’t change as my protocol does – I fear this is a vain hope, but you have to start somewhere. Attached is a little more history that shows only Total Testosterone and HCT immediately prior to a Blood test. Not a full set of data but based on these past data points, I plan to try either: 90mg T' C' (2 x 45mg) & 1000 IU hCG (2 x 500IU) Per Week (If I can get some hCG) or 110mg T' C' (2 x 55mg) Per Week For a minimum of three months and then retest. One thing I have noticed is that all hCG is not the same. In my small user experience I would say that Ovidac IU’s are much less "potent" than the supposedly equivalent Pregnyl IU’s. This of course also effects the outcome of any tests. Thanks again[/I] [/QUOTE]
