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

How about starting a thread dedicated to whatever it is you're arguing about and leave this and other threads to the specifics of the OP's topic. This has become like bar fight that spills out of one bar and goes up and down the street into other bars.

My contribution to that thread would be: Start low and adjust up as needed since it will generally be easier and faster to assess the effect of an increase in dose rather than a decease.
Yeah, agreed and I’ll stop the discussion in this thread since we’re just going round in circles. Cat is a lost cause but everyone else can read and decide how they interpret the things we’ve both shared. I only brought it up again in this thread since he continues to say the same things even though evidence has been shared with him, so if he does it again I’ll just post that one study and leave it at that so the OP of any threads going forward can read it and decide for themselves.

Sorry for the distraction guys.

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.
