[QUOTE="madman, post: 193454, member: 13851"] When were labs done and your TT 500s is sub-par even with having an SHBG 26 nmol/L hard to believe your FT level is high enough. Regardless although TT is important to know FT is what truly matters as it is the active unbound fraction of testosterone responsible for the positive effects. You are missing one of the most important tests which are FT! It is critical that you have it tested as the goal is to follow a protocol (dose T/injection frequency) that will allow you to attain a healthy trough FT level. The only way to know where your FT truly sits is to have it tested using the most accurate assays such as the gold standard Equilibrium Dialysis or Ultrafiltration (next best). Hard to give feedback when we have absolutely no idea where your FT level sits on such protocol. I would look into paying for your own set of labs and use Nelson's discountedlabs. Either of these assays will suffice when it comes to testing FT! 1 [URL='https://www.discountedlabs.com/hematocrit-total-and-free-testosterone-1500-ng-dl']Testosterone, Total and Free (NO Upper Limit) plus Hematocrit[/URL] 2 [URL='https://www.discountedlabs.com/testosterone-free-dialysis-and-total-ls-ms-ms']Testosterone, Total, LC/MS and Free (Equilibrium Ultrafiltration)[/URL] Bad move jumping on the AI! I would not be too concerned with running higher DHT levels. [U]Androgens and activation of the AR[/U]. Comes down to [U]genetics, the sensitivity of the AR to androgens[/U], and [U]sensitivity of the skin/hair follicles to DHT[/U]. The main point to keep in mind regarding acne or hair loss (genetically prone individuals).....is that DHT is not the sole contributor and it is [U]the general activation of the AR that is responsible[/U]. post#26 [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.excelmale.com/forum/threads/body-acne-caused-by-dht-or-e2.21319/page-2#post-191348[/URL] [/QUOTE]
