[QUOTE="HealthMan, post: 104382, member: 13512"] People put too much emphasis on TT while we should be more focused on FT and Bioavailable testosterone. Testosterone attached to SHBG does nothing for you. When making decisions about whats is high or low or try to understand side effects we should give more weight to FT/BT. Another VERY important thing that most of us ignore. Most of us measure levels at trough. One snapshot only. Don’t forget that testosterone levels between injection and trough will be higher and in low SHBG guys will be MUCH higher. So a lot of guys on TRT chase high TT levels measure on trough (and a lot of times FT/BT are through the roof). So imagine how high these levels will be between injections? And them people wonder why they need to use AI and donate blood every 2 months. Not saying that everyone is able to control side effects with dose reduction but I believe most of us could reduce significantly and a lot of times eliminate side effects as high estradiol and hematocrit If we stopped chasing numbers and understand the bigger picture.
