[QUOTE="Cataceous, post: 217562, member: 38109"] I assume this is still the Quest equilibrium dialysis free testosterone test? This test method is considered the gold standard. Unfortunately there's currently no standardization across different labs, so you must ignore misguided assertions that this range is somehow low. Measurements using this test can be compared only to the reference range or to other measurements from the same test. In any case, you're still over the top of the reference range. Total estrogen isn't as useful as estradiol, but either is expected to be high in the presence of high free testosterone. The original recommendation of dropping to 80 mg per week still holds. It's likely your SHBG is low, so you can expect total testosterone to appear somewhat low even when free testosterone is normal. You should focus on free testosterone, as this parameter is best associated with the benefits from testosterone. But more is not better. There's virtually no case when it's healthier to have a hormone significantly outside of its reference range. [/QUOTE]
