[QUOTE="madman, post: 196290, member: 13851"] Post labs from your previous protocols (injections) including the most recent. Need to know your protocol (dose T/injection frequency) let alone where such protocol (6 weeks in) had your trough TT/FT/e2 and SHBG let alone overall blood markers which would include RBCs/hemoglobin/hematocrit levels. Keep in mind that 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. Testing should be done at the true trough (lowest point) as we want to make sure blood levels are not too low which would result in a lack of relief/improvement in low-t symptoms and to make sure that blood levels are not too high which can result in side-effects let alone constantly struggling with issues. Testing should be done using accurate assays TT/estradiol/DHT (LC/MS-MS) and FT (Equilibrium Dialysis or Ultrafiltration). A FT 16-31 ng/dL would be considered healthy. Most men will do well with FT 20-30 ng/dL range and some may run slightly higher levels. Comes down to the individual. Critical to know where your FT truly sits on such protocol and the only way is to have it tested using the most accurate assays such as the gold standard Equilibrium Dialysis or Ultrafiltration (next best). How do you go from 140 mg/week (70 mg every 3.5 days) to eventually jacking your dose 200 mg/week (100 mg every 3.5 days)? Whopping dose increase and I would put money on it that your trough TT/FT/e2 levels were through the roof on 200 mg/week. Most men on trt are injecting 100-200 mg/week and even then many would never need the higher end dose to achieve a healthy FT level. Sure some men do need the higher-end dose but it is far from common. These are the assays you want to use when testing TT/FT! Either will suffice. 1.
