I think it looks pretty ideal. They missed the E2 looks like, that was supposed to be measured as well. No E2 symptoms though. Anyone have thoughts? Anything look slightly off? All good?

You are missing the most critical blood marker here free testosterone.

TT means nothing when looking at the big picture here.

TT is important to know but FT is what truly matters as it is the active unbound fraction of T responsible for the positive effects.

Even though you are hitting a healthy TT we have no idea where your FT sits let alone how many days post-injection your blood work was done.

We always want to test at the true trough (lowest point) before your next injection.

Seeing as you are injecting 100 mg T/week split twice-weekly (50 mg T every 3.5 days) then your true trough would be 3.5 days (84 hrs) post-injection.

Also missing the most critical blood markers for CBC hemoglobin and hematocrit.

Need to know where your trough FT sits.

How do you feel overall?

These were my FT and Bio available T from July...I dont know why they would not have tested for FT? Not sure if there are any calculations for figuring out FT? Yeah, a little disappointed they did not have those makres in the blood work. The draw was taken at trough. I pin Tue AM/Fri PM. Draw was taken Fri PM right before 2nd pin of the week.
Hemoglobin/Hematocrit included here.

I feel good. Maybe a little less energy that 2 or 3 months ago. But overall really good. Definitely feel stronger. @50 yrs old...being able to bench 225 a couple times feels pretty good. lol. My bodyfat hasn't moved....still @15%. But according to the bodyfat scaled I'm up 4-5lbs of muscle since I started back in March.

Sounds like you are doing well with minimal side effects.
One piece of advice - don't chase numbers that look ideal on paper. While ranges can certainly help guide you, we all respond a bit differently as you will see on this forum. Some guys feel great at 900 TT / 20 FT while others feel like garbage. Same with doses. Find your own sweet spot.

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.
