[QUOTE="madman, post: 218650, member: 13851"] Clear as the day your trough FT is very high as in not too far off from being absurd. As I have stated numerous times on the forum FT 5-10 ng/dL would be considered low. FT 16-31 ng/dL (top-end) is healthy. Most men will do well with FT 20-30 ng/dL. Some may choose/want to run higher levels. Comes down to the individual. You are injecting 140 mg T/week split (70mg every 3.5 days) which has you hitting a very high trough TT 1146 ng/dL and your FT is very high as in most likely mid 40 ng/dL). Your SHBG 20 nmol/L is lowish. With a trough TT 1146, ng/dL, SHBG 20nmol/L, and Albumin 4.3 g/dL than your trough FT would be very high (43 ng/dL). [ATTACH type="full"]20024[/ATTACH] Your peak TT, FT, and estradiol level will be much higher! Yet you have been struggling with high RBCs/hematocrit/hemoglobin let alone trying to manage high estradiol with the use of an AI. You are caught up on that never-ending blood donations to manage your elevated blood markers due to running a very high trough FT let alone your ferritin/iron is crashed. If anything I would definitely look into more frequent injections EOD or even daily running lower doses of T and bringing down your FT some. Not only will you be clipping the peak--->trough but you may be able to get away with running a lower TT (low 800s) which would still have you hitting a high-end FT (29-30 ng/dL) letting you maintain the positive effects while minimizing sides (elevated estradiol, RBCs/hematocrit/hemoglobin). Everyone makes the mistake of getting caught up in thinking they need to run very high/absurdly high trough FT levels let alone tend to overlook the peak--->trough on such protocols. Going to be a big difference running a high trough FT 30 ng/dL injecting once weekly or twice weekly (every 3.5 days) compared to EOD or daily. Definitely need to address your crashed ferritin/iron. Again do what you feel is best for you and if you are content with trying to constantly manage the side effects of running a very high FT go nuts. All the best with your surgery tomorrow hoping all goes well! [/QUOTE]
