Help adjusting dose

My free T is 30.1 pg/ml and TT is 912.3 ng/dl taking 16mg of test c daily. What do you think I can cut my daily dosage to, to achieve a FT number in the 24-25 range. Thanks.
 
Who convinced you to chase numbers? Have you previously established that your optimized clinical response is only at FT = 24-25 pg/ml?
 
Not chasing numbers. I have low SHBG and when I’m over the top range of FT I convert more and have more Free T and require higher dose AI to control estrogen. Was aiming for just below top range to see how I do.
 
Maybe try 12 mg a day? May drop you to where you want to be. I know your still having high e2 symptoms.

Thanks man. I was either gunna drop to 15mg or 12mg. You think I should drop to 12? It’s really just a guessing game I suppose. And then you retest to see where you’re at.

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.
