[QUOTE="Cataceous, post: 233377, member: 38109"] I'm not sure which free testosterone calculator you used, but [URL='http://www.issam.ch/freetesto.htm']this implementation[/URL] of the Vermeulen calculation says that free testosterone is 0.912 nMol/L (26 ng/dL), which is 2.6% of total. Keep in mind that the percent of total is not a very useful number. It seems likely that some of your problems are a result of using a dose that's too high for you. Would it be feasible for you to increase your injection frequency to every other day? This would cut down peak serum levels. In addition, I would try dropping the total weekly dose by 25%, which would mean injecting 20 or 21 mg EOD. Allow at least 2-3 months for a fair evaluation. Lower dosing should make absolute levels of estradiol more reasonable. However, you should monitor the estradiol/testosterone ratio. If it remains high and you continue to have problems then there are other things you might try. Lipids should improve somewhat on the lower dose. T3 may come down as well. "fritt" means free. This might be deduced, but one could also ask Google Translate, or alternatively, pay attention to the units. [/QUOTE]
