[QUOTE="madman, post: 157734, member: 13851"] Here is his labs from a previous thread he started in March! [B]Total T [COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]916[/COLOR][/B] [B]Free T [COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]24.5 [/COLOR](2.7%)[/B] E2: 37 (AI doesnt seem to help and only makes things worse, ive tried arimidex and aromasin) [B]SHBG: [COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]23 [/COLOR][/B]( a little on the low end, but nothing like i see "low shbg guys" struggling with in the teens and stuff) DHT: 50 (tested about 2 years ago after starting trt still feel the same now) Prolactin : 8 (not high at all) Progesterone looks normal. Thyroid, diabetes markers, all look good and normal no other major health issues As you can see although looking at his labs with a TT 916 ng/dL and SHBG 23 nmol/L.....that although his FT is not at the top end of the range that number is misleading to most! Why......because he had the wrong assay done when testing his FT as the piss poor direct immunoassay which has shown to be inaccurate let alone no longer recommended was used.......let alone underestimates FT when compared to the gold standard Equilibrium Dialysis. Unfortunately most are still using/relying on this inaccurate assay when testing their FT levels which is a waste of time. The only way to truly know where ones FT levels sit on such protocol (T dose/injection frequency) is to have it tested using the most accurate assay which is the gold standard Equilibrium Dialysis or Ultrafiltration (next best) or to simply use the newer calculated TruT method (which has been shown to be on par with results obtained by the gold standard ED) and is available online for free to the general public. [URL='https://tru-t.org/'][B]TruT Free Testosterone Calculator by FPT[/B][/URL] Using the newer calculated TruT method.....if we take his TT 916 ng/dL, SHBG 23 nmol/L, Albumin 4.3 g/dL than his FT would be 33.65 ng/dL (just over the top end of the reference range 16-31 ng/dL). [ATTACH=full]8204[/ATTACH] His FT levels on such protocol (T dose/injection frequency) is already in the 33 ng/dL range (just over the top end) and that is at trough! Could he increase his FT levels a little more.....sure but highly doubtful his FT levels are the issue. Even on this most recent protocol with a TT 733 ng/dL, SHBG 22 nmol/L, Albumin 4.3 g/dL (mean) than using the newer calculated TruT his FT would be 26.62 ng/dL (just over mid-range of the reference range of 16-31 ng/dL). [ATTACH=full]8205[/ATTACH] Now one can definitely say bring your TT up to get your FT levels up into the top end/slightly over as in 30+ ng/dL.....but again as he already stated he has tried a higher dose and I have just shown you where his FT levels sat at such dose.....so he has already tried a dose of T which put his FT (trough) levels in the 33 ng/dL range.
