Today I got my result for free test. Crazy again. This is all done with 20mg TE daily. The value from 25.01.19 is exactly the same 20mg T/d. I think they confused my blood sample.
Was this free T measured or calculated? If calculated it's meaningless because it's based on the same bad total testosterone measurement (T > 3,000 ng/dL).Today I got my result for free test.

If free testosterone is measured then why was albumin measured? Normally the inclusion of an isolated albumin measurement along with SHBG and total testosterone is a sure indication that free testosterone will be calculated. At a minimum I would retest total testosterone. It's unheard of to attain such high serum testosterone from such modest doses.No. It is measured. Strange thing is the high level of free T. I take between 12 and 20mg TE daily. I feel nothing -even when I stay low for 6 weeks or more- from 12-15mg, above 15 everything is normal. By normal I mean morning wood, energetic, positive. In no way I feel like superhuman.
Make sure you get the LC/ms-ms test for testosterone. Nandrolone can show up as testosterone on the standard assays.Yes right. The Dr. did both. As I told her I want Albumin, SHBG and total Testosterone she suggested to messure free T. It took two weeks more because the local laboratory was not able to do it.
"It's unheard of to attain such high serum testosterone from such modest doses."
THIS is the reason for this topic. I reduced the testosterone to 3x33mg/w added 45mg Nandrolone and 2x10mg Winstrol. In 4 weeks or so I will test it again. My hope is to see drasticly decreased SHGB and lower E2. IF I had known my free T is that high I just had reduced my T injections to 10mg/d and added 2x10mg Winstrol to lower the SHGB.
You seem pretty knowledgeable, but I still have to ask: Are you sure about the concentration and volume of the testosterone solution you're injecting?...

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.
Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.
The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
