[QUOTE="madman, post: 121241, member: 13851"] First and foremost your labs were done at the wrong time as due to the natural 24 hr circadian rhythm of endogenous testosterone it will peak in the early am (3-10am) and than eventually decline in the late afternoon/early evening. Testosterone levels can be 25-30% lower in the late afternoon/early evening. Blood work needs to be done fasted and in the early am (7-10 am). Three critical blood markers you are missing is your FT, SHBG and estradiol sensitive (LC/MS-MS). Unfortunately most doctors only test TT when in fact FT is what truly matters as it is the unbound active fraction of testosterone responsible for the positive benefits. When it comes to trt of course treating symptoms is what truly matters but blood work is critical and needed to determine where ones levels fall within the physiological range regarding overall health markers. Arguments can be made back and forth regarding ranges for TT/FT levels but when it comes to trt the main purpose is to relieve/improve the patients symptoms of low t and enhance ones overall well being along with minimizing the side effects hence why blood work is needed to understand how said dose of testosterone affects ones overall blood markers!
