New to TRT. Received first labs. Concerned and need help.

Questions:

Why would my Total Testosterone only go up slightly while my Free shot up drastically? My previous Free Test was about 10. It's now almost 32. My previous Free % was 2.3. It's now 4.7. That's at 100mg/week of test cyp. Is that big of an increase at a low dose a bad sign?

Forgot to mention, This is meant for ME/CFS, but I think it's a really good comprehensive fatigue workup in general.

Also, to you original question, If it were me, I'd would give it 3 more months and see if it drops. Your hematocrit is fine, but if it's going to be in the back of your mind and bother you then it might be best to drop it to something like 90mg/week for piece of mind.

Speaking of mind, adding hCG at 500IU twice a week knocked a fair bit off my brain fog. Not a complete fix, but it helped enough that I'm continuing it while I'm waiting to see other specialists.
