[QUOTE="madman, post: 196486, member: 13851"] From my reply post #11 You are missing two of the most important tests on your lab work. FT and SHBG. Have no idea where your SHBG sits but with a very high TT 1500ng/dL you can rest assured that your FT level is high and even then if these labs are true trough then your peak TT/FT/e2 levels will be much higher. You are being over-medicated as 200 mg/week (100 mg every 3.5 days) is a whopping dose and many would never need such a dose to achieve a healthy FT level. Top it off that you are taking an AI to control your elevated e2 which is a result of your very high TT level which would have your FT very high and again if these are trough levels then a TT 1500 is way too high (twice weekly injections). Even then I would be more concerned with where your FT level sits as although TT is important to know FT is what truly matters as it is the active unbound fraction of testosterone responsible for the beneficial effects. You need to have your FT tested let alone SHBG. Regarding FT you need to have it tested using the most accurate assays such as the gold standard Equilibrium Dialysis or Ultrafiltration if you want to know where it truly sits on such protocol (dose T/injection frequency). Use Nelsons discountedlabs. Either assay will suffice! 1 [URL='https://www.discountedlabs.com/hematocrit-total-and-free-testosterone-1500-ng-dl']Testosterone, Total and Free (NO Upper Limit) plus Hematocrit[/URL] 2 [URL='https://www.discountedlabs.com/testosterone-free-dialysis-and-total-ls-ms-ms']Testosterone, Total, LC/MS and Free (Equilibrium Ultrafiltration)[/URL] Bet your FT will be very high even if your SHBG is on the higher end. You would most likely fair much better lowering your dose as you may very well be able to drop the AI let alone feel much better. The horrible protocol you have been put on.....high dosed T, an aromatase inhibitor, and top it off that your[B] [U]doctor has no f**king idea what he is doing prescribing you gonadorelin which will not replace hCG and injecting such a dose 2 times weekly is pointless[/U]! My current protocol is as follows: [U]200mg of test Cyp split into 2 injections 100mcg of Gonadorelin 2 times a week[/U] .5mg of Armidex on day of injections -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------[/B] Your doctor is an idiot.
