[QUOTE="madman, post: 252107, member: 13851"] First off you need more recent labs! Even then you are missing critical blood markers such as FT, SHBG, estradiol, and LH/FSH. 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. The only way to know where your FT truly sits is to have it tested using the most accurate assays such as the gold standard Equilibrium Dialysis or Ultrafiltration. If you do not have access to those assays then you will need to use/rely on the calculated method. In order to calculate your FT you would need to know your where your TT, SHBG, and albumin sit. Keep in mind that blood work needs to be done in the early am in a fasted state as we want to test at peak. [/QUOTE]
