Lower T levels but feeling great?

Been on 100mg/test cyp/wk (devided in 2xwk dose) for almost 3 years now with fantastic results.

I went from constant fatigue and borderline depression to lots of energy, increased libido, strength, lean muscle increases and the best sense of well being I've had in 15 years.

I just received my latest blood work and it shows my free test at 320ng/dl, but I feel fantastic.

For awhile my E2 levels were up around 70 pg/ml, but .25mg of arimidex x 2/week has kept it into the mid 20's for the last 6 months.

I want to ask my doc to increase the dosage and get me into a higher range, but I'm afraid to tamper with how great I'm feeling now.



Any thoughts or experiences would be appreciated.
 
Can you post your blood work complete with ranges.

Remember, it's all about how you feel and if you are feeling fantastic all the power to you my friend!

Keep in mind when we discuss TRT in men; more is not better in most cases!
 
Sorry I couldn't reply earlier, I was unable to log in here for some time.

Anyhow, My DR. called me back concerned that my test levels were low after the last bloodwork. I had switched labs the for the last blood work, so he has asked that I go back to the same lab company that I usually go to and do the test over, before we decide to up the dosage.

This seems more than reasonable to me. I will report back with results.

Thanks very much for your input Gene
 
Why would you want to change your dosage if your gaining strength and lean muscle, improved libido and the best you have felt in 15 years?

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.
