[QUOTE="madman, post: 129863, member: 13851"] From your previous post pg.2 [B]5) still waiting on the estradiol sens result but i feel like the estrogen has gone up. Less low estrogen symptoms for sure. Test level looks good? Free test the same as before trt but thats cause SHBG went from 30 to 50 almost. I read this is normal but any way to bring it down a bit? Rather than inject more T? Hematocrit is a bit high. Will talk to my doc about donating but i really need to get those iron numbers up![/B] [B]By the way i’ve felt a TON better since starting TRT. Not 100% for sure but a big improvement in energy, mood, strength (a little bit) and libido (a little bit). Sleep has been bad the last 3 weeks and i’m thinking if i go down to 1.5 grains it will improve? Also still waiting on second round of 4x salivary cortisol testing results. Previous one showed evidence of adrenal fatigue. Recently started taking a cortisol supplement that seems to be helping. Waiting on these results to see if hydrocortisone is indicated or not.[/B] I would say seeing as at 8 weeks in (trt protocol) from blood work your TT is now 30 nmol/L which may seem descent when in fact your SHBG has increased from 30----->49 nmol/L your FT still needs to come up more. When using the calculated (Vermeulen) method for Free & Bioavailable Testosterone taking your TT 30 nmol/L ([B][COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]864.6 ng/dL[/COLOR][/B]) and your SHBG of 49 nmol/L your FT is only [B][COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]1.83% [/COLOR][/B]and your BT is 42.8%. Most men do well with FT 2-3% of TT. Unfortunately we do not know where your e2 sits on your current protocol as you are still waiting on your results for the estradiol sensitive assay (LC-MS/MS).
