[QUOTE="Systemlord, post: 278403, member: 15832"] Free T and it’s metabolites, estrogen and DHT drives all of the benefits of TRT, Total T is less important, unless you lack the accurate testing methods for testing Free T, such as the equilibrium dialysis method which you can calculate the Free T using the Total T and SHBG. Total T is a function of SHBG, the higher the SHBG, the higher the Total T independent of the Free T. The Free T is the only thing you should concern yourself with. I’m unable to give you any advice on your Free T values since you didn’t provide the reference ranges which differ depending upon which lab company you use. You were probably dealing with fluid retention. Testosterone increases various other hormones that tell the kidneys to hold onto more sodium and sodium carries water. I think you lowered your dose too much, as your Total T dropped by a little more than 50%, you should probably increase it a little bit. HCG dosing in measured in international units or IU, not mg.
