SHBG on the prior blood work (+ oxandrolone)?

What changed on your protocol on the (- oxandrolone) except removing the oxandrolone?

All else the same. Same trough measurement, etc etc. Only difference is you removed the oxandrolone?
I messed up and forgot to order the SHBG on the blood work after 3 months of Oxandrolone use. I'm sure it was way low but that's just a guess.

The only other thing that changed was I was also use Ipamorelin and Sermorelin along with the Oxandrolone test.

Fast forward to now - I've been using Oxandrolone for 1 week, the aesthetic boost is kicking in - I'm looking fuller and more vascular, feeling stronger, more energy, more drive to stick to clean eating, etc. etc. but I'm still unable to put my mind to rest that this is okay to do long term. As good as it feels. I almost wish I never tried it, I like it too much....

I am glad you are feeling better. I was hopeful I could make sense of your +/- oxandrolone bloodwork with respect to TT/fT results but I can't.
 
Okay I got my lab results after 2 months of no Oxandrolone. It looks like that 1 25 mg of Oxandrolone I took the day before the test already had increased the Free T?

So if you stop taking the Oxandrolone and used 25mg more testosterone a week do you think you would feel better or the same.

I will try that but will have to give it time to see. The Oxandrolone I can feel right away, within 1 day. After this week, I'll see how it goes if I increase my T to 150 a week instead of 120. Without oxandrolone.

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.
