Thanks. I just checked and Free T was determined using the Direct method. I'm going to get the equilibrium dialysis test from discountedlabs and check that one.
Thanks for the link. Do you think I could need a higher dose because I'm not using hCG though? Wouldn't hCG make it the equivalent for you of a much higher dose than 16mg/day because you have your natural production on top of the exogenous Test?
My SHBG was at 80 before starting TRT, out of a range of 20-55.
When you inject into your thighs, what syringe do you use? One reason I started out doing SubQ is that I was worried about scar tissue over the long term, so I've been using 30G 5/16'' 0.3cc insulin syringes. 5/16'' is really short...
That's what it feels like to me, but is it really possible that 24mg/day isn't enough?
I'm thinking maybe because my SHBG is so high it could make sense. Before TRT my TT was 980ng/dL but my FT was 50pg/mL (range 45-225) and I felt absolutely terrible. I tested on 3 different occasions to make...
You're right, I should probably just wait and get blood tests on this protocol. I just don't understand feeling so good initially and going from that to having zero energy whatsoever and being severely depressed, it seems a lot more extreme a variation than most accounts I've read about early...
I started TRT 5 weeks ago on 24mg/day subcutaneous injections of Test C (168mg/week). My doc put me on a relatively high dose because my SHBG is very high (maybe 2-3 standard deviations out of range), so much so that despite having naturally high TT levels, my FT was in the dumpster all the way...
