[QUOTE="AJS1, post: 223468, member: 43639"] Thanks for your time Madman, input and all of the links you posted with great information on measuring free T. I have read thru much of it. Some i understand and some of it is difficult and complicated with all the medical terms. Im rather new to all of this and am spending so much time trying to learn everything. This is so very important to me and my well-being. Im seeing my doctor later on today,and desperate for some answers and how to proceed. I dont want to waste my time and ecspecially put on the wrong protocol due to false/inaccurate testing methods and values(results). 1) Should i continue as is and change nothing and not ask for different testing methods. Methods used now are, as stated earlier, are: Total T(LC-MS/MS), Estradiol(standard, not sensitive), Free T(doctor just measured bioavailable testosterone via the differential precipitation method, whatever that is). I know the total t is the accurate testing method yet the estradiol is not accurate because it wasnt sensitive, and not quite sure on the bioavailable t 2)Is measuring free t via bioavailable t, as they did with me, the same thing as just measuring free t using another method, such as Equilibrium Dialysis, and what is differential precipitation 3) Should i have my SHBG tested so i have that number to plug into a free t caculator, although from what i understand, they may be a little flawed I just want to do this right, plesse help [/QUOTE]
