[QUOTE="madman, post: 202103, member: 13851"] 30 mg esterified T is going to have a significant impact on driving up your TT let alone FT level. Again unless you had your FT tested using the most accurate assays (ED or UF) then you have no idea where it truly sits and depending on your SHBG it could be much higher than you think. One can easily achieve an absurdly high FT with a TT 1200-1300 ng/dL and that is even if one had higher SHBG. Keep in mind that whether increasing or decreasing T dose hormones be in flux during the weeks leading up until blood levels have stabilized (4-6 weeks when using TC/TE) and many make the mistake of gauging how they feel during this transition which can be very misleading as the body is trying to adjust. More importantly even once blood levels have stabilized it will take another 2-3 months for the body to fully adapt to those new levels and this is the critical time period when one should gauge how they truly feel overall regarding relief/improvement of low-t symptoms. Many end up never giving a new protocol a fighting chance and bail out at the 6-week mark if they do not feel well. [/QUOTE]
