[QUOTE="madman, post: 258284, member: 13851"] You are hitting a descent trough TT 571 ng/dL. Although TT is important to know FT is what truly matters as it is the active unbound fraction of testosterone responsible for the positive effects. You SHBG was highish 42 nmol/L on your previous lab work. Using cFTV with a trough TT 571 ng/dL, SHBG 42 nmol/L and Albumin 4.3 g/dL (default) than your trough FT would be 10.6 ng/dL. Keep in mind it may very well be lower. As you should know your peak TT, FT and estradiol will be higher. You would need to have it tested using what would be considered the most accurate assays such as the gold standard Equilibrium Dialysis or Ultrafiltration to know where it truly sits. If you do not have access to such than you would need to use/rely upon the linear law-of-mass action cFTV. You definitely have room to bring up your FT if need be. Definitely would not jump from 75--->150 mg/week. Way too big of a jump doubling your dose and you will most likely overshoot! Any time you increase the dose you are going to be driving up your TT, FT, estradiol and hematocrit. You are missing critical blood markers RBCs, hemoglobin and hematocrit. Did you even get a full thyroid panel before hopping on TRT? [/QUOTE]
