[QUOTE="madman, post: 274517, member: 13851"] Can see that you had your TT tested using the standard immunoassay which tops out at 1500 ng/dL as you are hitting >1500 and more importantly your FT was tested using what would be considered one of the most accurate assays Equilibrium Ultrafiltration which has your FT level ridiculously high and would be expected from an absurd daily dose of TP. Top it off you have low SHBG to boot. As you should know running a high/absurdly high FT is a surefire way to drive up your hematocrit and unfortunately, most end up on the donating to frequently bandwagon let alone crashing ferritin which can open up another can of worms. You were already hitting an absurdly high trough FT on your previous protocol with a whopping 30 mg TP daily (210 mg T/week). Could just imagine where your trough FT level sits now on a slightly lower dose of 25 mg TP daily (175 mg/week). It's a given that your trough FT is going to be high. Again the average secretion rate of T in a healthy young male is 5-7 mg/day. You are injecting 25 mg TP daily which would be a whopping 20.75 mg pure T daily. Most healthy young males are hitting a short-lived peak TT 600s and this is with normal SHBG. You are hitting ridiculously high peak TT/FT levels let alone your trough FT would still be high. There is no such thing as a natty running around with peak TT >1500 ng/dL let alone with low SHBG. Your peak/trough TT/FT would be absurdly high for someone with low SHBG. You are overmedicated on T. Regardless if you feel great overall, and blood markers are healthy, minus any cosmetic sides then do what is best for you. Again to put this in perspective. We can nitpick here on the approx free equivalents but you get the point! 210 mg TP/week let alone 175 mg is an absurd amount of active T (minus the ester). [B]100 mg TC = 70 mg (active T) 100 mg TE = 72 mg (active T) 100 mg TP = 83 mg (active T) [ATTACH type="full" alt="1706389453637.png"]40853[/ATTACH][/B] You had this panel done.
