Bloodwork back

[Johnny Test]

Recent test results. Why is my free test so high? I’m on 120mg of TC per week. Split 60/60 M & Th. I’m not used to seeing my free T so high. Any reason to be concerned?

Why is my free test so high?

Because your SHBG is probably low. I would be concerned with taking the body way outside of what's considered normal.

It's also highly doubtful you need levels this high for symptom relief.

I would consider decreasing your dosage to 45mg twice weekly.

I wouldn't be too concerned about your high levels. If everything else is good. My concern is always HCT if that gets too high. Then I would be considered about high levels.

How do you feel?

I feel good. Hematocrit is at 49.3

Yep. SHBG is at 18.3. What’s weird is that I got bloodwork done a few weeks back too. Same timing of the blood being taken. In the trough essentially (only a few hours before my next injection). I did the same timing this go around as well. One test came back with a test level of 691 and the other 1081. It’s weird.

Do you think the HCG dosage might have skewed this? I did bump It from 300iu to 500iu and administered this the day before the blood draw

Bingo.

 

[Johnny Test]

That makes sense

Could be, I normally inject HCG on Sunday but because I have labs on Monday I always skip my HCG on Sunday before my labs.
