[QUOTE="Cataceous, post: 221321, member: 38109"] Based on total testosterone of 928 ng/dL and SHBG of 27.6 nMol/L your Vermeulen calculated free testosterone is about 24 ng/dL. That's on the high side considering that the average for healthy young men is more like 15 ng/dL. By the way, that SHBG is normal, close to the 30-35 we consider ideal. I'm confused about your dosing. Originally you were taking 40 mg every three days, or 93 mg per week, correct? Then you switched to 0.15 mL / 30 mg three times a week? But this is still 90 mg per week—hardly much of a change. The more frequent dosing could smooth out levels some, but overall I think it would be appropriate to drop to 60-65 mg per week, which would be more in line with your stated goal: "I think would be happy if my TT was around 600 and had no Hematocrit issues to deal with." My understanding is that hydration issues can be identified by a skewing of the ratio of hematocrit to hemoglobin. But it looks as though your ratios are appropriate, at around 3. [/QUOTE]
