[QUOTE="madman, post: 219773, member: 13851"] [B]Nov.24/2021 [I]*protocol 91mg T/week split 26 mg EOD.[/I][/B] Your FT was tested using 2 different assays (direct immunoassay/Equilibrium Ultrafiltration). The same day you had your blood work done. Your TT 759 ng/dL (reference range 264-916 ng/dL) was tested using the most accurate assay LC/MS-MS yet FT 12.2 pg/mL (reference range 7.2-24.0 pg/mL) was tested using the piss poor direct immunoassay which is known to be inaccurate and should not be used/relied upon when testing free testosterone! Would have you and anyone believing that your trough FT is on the lower end. [ATTACH type="full" alt="Screenshot (11544).png"]20354[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="Screenshot (11546).png"]20355[/ATTACH] Second FT test result. Your TT 759 ng/dL (reference range 264-916 ng/dL) was tested using the most accurate assay LC/MS-MS and FT 29.45 ng/dL (reference range 5.00-21.00 ng/dL) was tested using Equilibrium Ultrafiltration which is one of the most accurate assays. ED or UF are the assays people should be using/relying upon when testing free testosterone. As you can clearly see your trough FT is high. You are hitting almost 4% FT. Yes, this is even with a highish SHBG 44.6 nmol/L.....who knew lol! [ATTACH type="full" alt="Screenshot (11545).png"]20356[/ATTACH] Just imagine how much higher it would have been if you had tested it [B][I]using the same lab (Labcorp)/assay (Equilibrium Ultrafiltration) [/I][/B]when you were running a very high TT 1167 ng/dL with an SHBG 36.6 nmol/L back when you had labs done on Jan.18/2022? This is why it is critical for anyone pre/post trt to always use the same lab/same assay (most accurate) when getting blood work done! Just imagine how many men have no clue where their trough FT level truly sits. [/QUOTE]
