[QUOTE="madman, post: 184779, member: 13851"] No worries just wait until you get lab work. Keep in mind that most men on trt even with high SHBG can easily achieve a healthy FT level without hitting an absurd TT 1500+ ng/dL. Most men on trt are injecting 100-150mg/week and in most cases can hit a high-end TT/FT level. Many do well with FT in the 30 ng/dL or slightly higher whereas others feel better running lower levels. Sure some may need higher doses 150-200 mg/week but most would never need the high-end dose 200 mg/week to achieve a healthy FT level. As far as one needs to hit a TT 1600-2000 ng/dL to benefit from trt is hogwash! Forget this 50 years ago bulls**t. I can pull up studies for you from the 70s and you would be shocked at the average levels of men back then. [COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]He said to expect my TT to possibly go up to 15-1600 ng/dL but that it was totally fine and that men see improvements across all health markers long term up to around 2000ng/dL.[/COLOR] [COLOR=rgb(0, 0, 0)]If we were talking peak levels on once-weekly injections this would be expected but for a trough level when injecting more frequently twice weekly (every 3.5 days), M/W/F, EOD, or daily (peak-trough minimal) that would be absurd. Even then such levels will not only have your FT through the roof but your RBCs/hemoglobin/hematocrit would be driven up![/COLOR] Regarding your FT make sure you get the correct testing method which would be the most accurate assay the gold standard Equilibrium Dialysis or Ultrafiltration (next best) if you truly want to know where your FT level sits. Forget the direct immunoassay which will most likely be the one your doctor recommends. [/QUOTE]
