[QUOTE="Louis, post: 110527, member: 17695"] Thanks gentlemen. Yes my TT is high. I don't know the impact that elevated value would have other than RBC and HCT. Blackhawk, thank you for asking. Yes, I do and my HCT has steaily been 48 (37.5-51%) on Androgel. This last set of labs on Cypionate it was 46.1%. Additionally, my RBC has regularly been slightly high at 5.8-5.9 (4.14-5.8 x10E6/uL). This last set of labs on Cypionate it was 5.57. To clarify, I do not think my E2 is elevated at all given my TT. I have historically had low E2 and low FT so I am glad the number is higher. What I need to figure out is which way am I going to try to lower my TT and not lower my E2 too much. I also have historically had a SHBG value of > 60 which is why we felt I needed injections to give a higher dose that would increase my FT and hopefully E2 (which it has). Since I only like to change one medication at a time, I can either lower my Cypionate or my HCG. Keeping in mind that my SHBG has come down to 50 (from 60+) and I finally have a good FT% the options I am considering are either: A. Lower my dose of Cypionate to 40mg e3.5d (80mg/week) and continue 150iu HCG ed (1050iu/week) B. Continue 50mg Cypionate e3.5d (100mg/week) and lower dose of HCG to 400iu e3.5d (800iu/week) I think the goal should be to lower my TT but also not to drop my E2 in hopes of improving my T/E ratio.
