[QUOTE="Blackhawk, post: 111815, member: 16042"] Some of this just echos what's already been said, but: At least your total and free T numbers look good on paper, and hematocrit isn't high But: when was the blood drawn relative to your T injection/dosing schedule? -Your SHBG is 21.2 indicating you need more frequent dosing. 1 time per week is terrible with SHBG that low. If it was me I'd start on every other day and possibly move to daily if that doesn;t do the trick. With that SHBG level, you need to monitor Total and Free T , focusing on Free T at trough (Blood taken in the morning before your next dose.) It's critical for lower SHBG to know what Free T levels are. -You need to communicate your dosages in mg, mcg and iu, not ML! As already stated testosterone comes in 100mg/ml and 200mg/ml concentrations. HCG can also be mixed at different concentrations. -what form of T? the most usual in the US is Testosterone cypionate, but in other countries, other esters are more common. -You don't state a dose for anastrazole either, this is very important. And, I am assuming this was prescribed at the onset of your treatment? You should not be taking it to begin with based on your estradiol number which is just fine and is also most likely a falsely high reading due to it being the wrong test. anastrazole should only be considered after being on TRT and re-assessing E2 level, not from the beginning -And echo what's been said about thyroid.
