[QUOTE="madman, post: 191767, member: 13851"] What is it with you being caught up on using higher-end doses of T? It is clear as day. Your trough FT is through the roof which not only has your E2 sky high let alone your RBC/hematocrit. Your SHBG is only 17.6 nmol/L. Your FT on pg/1 is through the roof and unfortunately, it was tested using the piss poor direct immunoassay. [ATTACH type="full" alt="Screenshot (2837).png"]11928[/ATTACH] [COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)][B]FT 42.3 pg/ml[/B] reference range 8.7-25.1[/COLOR] Luckily on the second post for labs you had, it tested using the most accurate assay gold standard Equilibrium Dialysis, and the one I prefer due to the reference range[COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)] 52-280 (5.2-28.0 ng/dL).[/COLOR] You are hitting an absurd trough [B][COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]FT 524 (52.4 ng/dL).[/COLOR][/B] 16-31 ng/dL would be considered a healthy FT level and even then most will easily do well with a FT 30 ng/dL (top end). Sure some run slightly higher levels but doubtful many would ever need to be running an absurd trough FT level of 50-60 ng/dL. [ATTACH type="full" alt="Screenshot (2838).png"]11929[/ATTACH] You easily have room to lower your dose and bring down your FT which will lower your E2/free e2, RBCs, and hematocrit. You would most likely not have to use an aromatase inhibitor let have to donate blood frequently to manage your RBCs/hemoglobin/hematocrit. No brainer here! Running such a high trough FT level is causing most of your issues. Look at the reference range for your FT% (equilibrium Dialysis) reference range 1.2 -3.5 and you are hitting 5 F**KING % go figure! Forget worrying about where your trough TT sits as you should be much more concerned with your FT which is the active unbound fraction responsible for the positive effects. People need to understand that excess FT will cause many of the issues people tend to struggle with when on trt. More is not always better and there is such a thing as running too high an FT level for trt end of story. So many caught up on this more is always better s**t show. [/QUOTE]
