[QUOTE="madman, post: 183751, member: 13851"] Most would say treating symptoms is what truly matters not numbers. If you feel good overall and blood markers are in a healthy range then there should be no reason to change anything. Mind you depending on how high you are running your TT/FT levels you may very well have room to lower your dose slightly and still maintain all the benefits. Keep in mind you made a drastic change in your protocol going from 100mg/week--->200mg/week (100 mg every 3.5 days) which is a massive dose increase let alone your previous/current TT levels are like night and day. You went from a TT 787 ng/dL--->to an absurd 1500+ ng/dL or is it 1600/1700/1800 ng/dL? Now if these are your true TROUGH levels on 200mg/week (100mg every 3.5 days) than it is way too high and your peak T levels would be much higher let alone it would have our T levels through the roof. Although TT is important to know FT is what truly matters as it is the active unbound fraction of testosterone responsible for the positive effects. Again if these are your true trough levels than you would easily have room to lower your dose slightly as the protocol (dose of T/injection frequency) will most likely have your FT level very high. Absolutely no need to run 1600+ ng/dL trough levels to experience the benefits of trt. You need to post full labs and have your FT tested using the most accurate method such as the gold standard Equilibrium Dialysis or Ultrafiltration (next best). Bet your RBC's/hemoglobin/hematocrit is elevated! [/QUOTE]
