[QUOTE="jtreentx, post: 89274, member: 16811"] Back in October I saw a TRT/hormone specialist in my area. I brought him the results of my labs I had taken back in April this year for reference too. After looking them over and ordering a few more labs, he decided to put me on a Clomid and HCG Protocol. For about six weeks, I've been taking 500 iu of HCG 3x/week (M,W,F) and 25 mg of Clomid 2x/week (M,F). So my check up was this last Tuesday and he emailed me that everything looked better on paper. My total Test had jumped from 272 ng/dl (4/27/17) to 633 ng/dl (11/28/17). Never mentioned anything about my free T. Estradiol was 32.1 pg/ml (Roche ELCIA). He also noted a big improvement in my cotisol level from (8.9; 11:30 AM) to (19.8; 10:30 AM). I have a labcorp patient account setup to where I can view any and all labwork I have performed. I received an email this evening saying my results from last week were able to be viewed. I had been waiting to see the actual labs because I was interested in my Free T. Well I log on and to my amazement my free T is 34.7 pg/ml which is noted as high. I'm confused as to why it would be so high. That puts me at almost 5.5% of my Total T! Previously I was right around 2% at 7.8 of 272 total...which seems to be the norm. Should I be concerned about this? Any explanation as to why my free T is so high? The doctor didn't mention a word about it. I'll list below all of my tests I've had this year for before and after reference. Thanks beforehand for any and all replies.
