[QUOTE="Cataceous, post: 214462, member: 38109"] If your SHBG was still about 70 nMol/L at the time of your pre-TRT lab work then the common free testosterone calculators put your level into the healthy normal ranges, though they disagree by how much. It would still be worthwhile to see where an accurate test puts you. Chances are that the week you felt amazing was the honeymoon period often experienced by guys starting TRT. The surging androgens can increase dopamine and the combination may lead to increased libido and sexual function, along with euphoria. Unfortunately the effect is temporary; the body adapts to the new hormonal situation. Some men spend their entire time on TRT in a fruitless pursuit of recreating and sustaining the effect. Something else of note is the extremely low estradiol in your pre-TRT labs. If accurate then as a fraction of testosterone this is about the lowest I've seen in someone not on an AI. It's suspicious that this fraction normalized on TRT, so this is something else to retest if you cease TRT for a period. Dr. Saya of Defy Medical is one of the better doctors out there for dealing with hormones. Even with Defy it's good to go in well-educated and with some thoughts about what you're wanting to accomplish. I think that if your testosterone is at worst borderline then you should avoid conventional TRT. I mentioned testosterone nasal gel as a safer option. This can be used if you want to experience higher testosterone without the risks associated with completely disabling your own production. [/QUOTE]
