[QUOTE="madman, post: 154875, member: 13851"] Are you kidding me here? You have been using/basing your FT levels of of an inaccurate testing method (direct immunoassay or the linear law-of-mass action model/equation (calculated Vermeulen) the whole time you have been on trt. As I stated in your thread.....when using the newer calculated TruT method your FT levels are well over the top end of the reference range. [B]On your 2-20-19 protocol.[/B] With a TT 1670 ng/dL, SHBG 44 nmol/L and Albumin 4.6 g/dL than your FT is 56.77 ng/dL (almost double the top end of the reference range of 16-31 ng/dL). [B]On your 4-30-19 protocol.[/B] With a TT 1423 ng/dL, SHBG 63 nmol/L and Albumin 4.3 g/dL than your FT is 48.24 ng/dL (still well over the top end of the reference range of 16-31 ng/dL). [B][COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]To get my free T to the top of the range at 244, I need my total T to be 1600+.[/COLOR][/B] - hate to bust your bubble again.....but your FT was already almost double the top end of the reference range when your TT was 1670 ng/dL! [B][COLOR=rgb(26, 188, 156)]To have your free T level of need my total T to probably be around 2500. [/COLOR][/B] - what?.....a TT 2500 ng/dL, SHBG 44 nmol/L and Albumin 4.3 g/dL would have your FT levels astronomically high at 92.63 ng/dL.....triple the top end of the reference rangeof 16-31 ng/dL. [ATTACH=full]7968[/ATTACH] Again the only way one is going to truly know where their FT levels sit on such dose of T is to use an accurate testing method such as the gold standard Equilibrium Dialysis (other methods are compared to) or Ultrafiltration or if anything the newer calculated TruT method which is on par with results obtained by the gold standard Equilibrium Dialysis. No one should be wasting their time using an inaccurate testing method such as the piss poor direct immunoassay or tracer analog.....let alone the outdated linear law-of-mass action model/equation such as the calculated Vermeulen method! No one has a clue what their FT levels really are. If anything everyone should be buying the Equilibrium Ultrafiltration from Nelson's Discount labs or if anything using the newer calculated TruT method.
