[QUOTE="drpub2112, post: 231966, member: 42634"] Thanks man, that is very helpful! My SHGB is always 28-30mnol, even before TRT. I'm doing daily 16mg subq Cyp injections so I guess that isn't really driving my SHGB up or down. I don't use any ancillaries. My Vermeulen Calc is 16.7 ng/dL = 2.2 % if I use the LC/MS TT from Quest (756ng). It's 23.5 ng/dL = 2.33 % if I use the RIA TT I get from LabCorp (1008ng). Either way, the percentage is the same, it's just the absolute value that's different. Assuming the 756 ng/dL is the more accurate TT result, with SHGB @30 and albumin 4.9, I calculate to 16.7 ng/dL free. I don't want to chase numbers or end up supraphysiological. I just don't want to underdose and never feel optimized. I still feel terrible after about 7 weeks at this level. I know that 750 is a respectable TT so I'll probably hold for a little while longer before making any conclusions. My Sensitive E2 is ~35 pg/dL from both labs and is also basically unchanged from before TRT just like my SHGB. Thanks for the insight! In my case, both the calc and the Dialysis get the same result and percentage, using the same Total T. [/QUOTE]
