Oh ya, forgot your SHBG was super low right? So your free T is always gonna be really good. My SHBG runs on the high side, so that’s where we differ greatly. To get my free T right around the top of the range, sometimes right below it, my total T needs to be around 1600 at trough, while injecting EOD.
