Dumb Question

So I am getting blood work done tomorrow. I am taking 100mg test cypionate on Sunday, 500hcg eod, 40fsh Mon,we'd,fri. I take anastrozole .25mg Sunday and Wednesday. Which brings me to my question. What do you guys think my total and free t will come up as in ng/dL?

I feel awesome but right around late Thursday to Sunday I am not feeling as good as I do early in the week. I will discuss splitting my dose into 50mg test Sunday and Thursday. Get labs done and if that doesn't work go up to 60mg Sunday and Thursday.
 
Theres absoluitely no way to know what numbers you can pull on a given dose, none of this is at all linear in that way.

If it's not too late or an SHBG test as well. I can see from what you describe as feeling lower later in the week that your SHBG is probably mid range to lower and will probably dictate at least E3.5D as youre thinking.
 
I guess the better question would have been what blood levels have others seen for people on 100mg testosterone cypionate and 500iu HCG 3-4x weekly.

Anything from resounding success to abject failure. Not trying to be snide, but it's a guess. Where does SHBG sit - is the protocol working with or against it? Has that level of HCG kicked estradiol too high? How long has the protocol been in place? Where did levels sit when it was initiated?

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
