[QUOTE="madman, post: 200707, member: 13851"] Again forget comparing labs let alone reference ranges for your FT. [B]post #16 * When comparing results it is critical that the same lab, same assay (most accurate) TT/e2 (LC/MS-MS), and FT (Equilibrium Dialysis or Ultrafiltration) is used let alone always testing at the true trough on the exact same protocol (dose T/injection frequency).[/B] Nothing but pure confusion when one is using different labs let alone different assays when trying to compare lab results. To top it all off when it comes to the reference ranges for measured or calculated FT they vary between different labs, and as of now, there is no standardization let alone a harmonized reference range. Efforts are underway to [U]standardize the procedures for FT and to generate harmonized reference ranges[/U]. You most likely feel shitty due to running too high a trough FT level let alone there can be a big difference in the peak--->trough when injecting twice weekly (every 3.5 days) and blood levels will not be as stable and more importantly, your SHBG is absurdly low. You would most likely do much better injecting more frequently (daily or EOD) using a lower dose of T to not only smooth out the peak--->trough but also bring down your FT level which will also bring down e2/free e2.
