[QUOTE="Anonymon, post: 202614, member: 42608"] I regularly have numbers similar to his, though it’s my peak and not my trough. Bloodwork’s always enviable otherwise. Talking to other guys, many of them actually feel best on TRT when their free T is outside the normal range, in the 250-300 range if you’re going to use that scale, with wherever their TT has to fall to get there. I do think in cases like this that testosterone is being used to mask or compensate for other issues going on, which is probably the case for me. It may also be that exogenous testosterone just isn’t functioning the same as endogenous. In my case, I had a bad reaction to straight slow release T3, for example. Felt like shit after a while and like my TRT had been unplugged, and my free T and E2 both nearly doubled despite the dose of test being the same. After feeling like I depleted something in myself, the testosterone just wasn’t getting into the cells anymore, which went away after stopping it. Similar things might be going on with some guys when it comes to this stuff, in that their own ability to utilize the test differs from others, and they need more to help deal with that. We probably can’t make straight comparisons to guys with endogenously produced testosterone when it comes to bloodwork on it because it being exogenous means it’s not going to work the same in the body or bring with it all the same processes at the same rates. For some guys a little might go a long way, for others it won’t. HCG makes me feel better, HCG makes some guys feel worse. Everybody’s different. I even had mine raise when I blew through my ability to utilize it, putting me in a state of having higher values on my blood work and lower absorption into my cells where it counted. [/QUOTE]
