[QUOTE="madman, post: 200689, member: 13851"] [B]I’m on 10 weeks of trt with [U]60mg”s twice a week IM. Levels came back around 550 at trough [/U]and free t at 18, E2 at 56 (using hcg 400ius 2x a week). I feel okay but I know those aren’t in the optimal range. My main reasoning is I have lower shbg around 16.5 pre treatment it is now at 11.8 on trt at my trough . Would my levels go up in both total and free test if I switch to EOD injections? Maybe 30mg m-w-f-s? Any suggestions? Thanks for anyone’s input ! happy new year also[/B] Were labs done at the true trough and are you still injecting 120 mg T/week (60 mg every 3.5 days)? Your trough TT was 550 ng/dL and now 700. Forget comparing FT labs let alone reference ranges and you should only be concerned with the most recent FT test as it is one of the most accurate assays (Equilibrium Ultrafiltration). Blood work should always be done using the same lab, the same assay (most accurate) and always testing at the true trough. As you can see even with a decent TT (far from really high) that your FT is high due to your low SHBG which now sits at 11 nmol/L and if these are trough levels then the peak will be much higher. You left out critical blood markers (RBCs/hemoglobin/hematocrit)! With an absurdly low SHBG, you would most likely do much better injecting a lower dose of T more frequently as in daily or EOD.
