These labs are on a reduced protocol but for only three weeks. You need to be on the same protocol for a minimum of 6 weeks, preferable 8, to reach a steady state. Until that time your body is still adjusting.

So, these labs are a combination of 200 mg a week for a period of time and 140 mg a week of Test Cypionate for the last three weeks. These labs don't really mean anything while your body is in the middle of adjustments.

Wait about 3 to 4 more weeks and then re-test for a more accurate view of where you truly are.
 
My SHBG is close to yours and I do well on smaller injections (20mg) EOD, it helps better control estrogen conversion to do the smaller testosterone and estrogen peaks when injecting smaller doses. Smaller injections every day (10-12mg) will help even further to reduce estrogen conversion, your Total T and Free T injecting everyday are pretty darn stable.

I however require an AI with my injections or trouble follows. The only thing I have to do to come out of a state of crashed estrogen in inject T without the AI, a couple hours later estrogen is high again.
Do you mind me asking how much ai you take

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
