[QUOTE="Wolverine, post: 15144, member: 3254"] Hi. 51 yr old male. Been on TRT for a few years now. Was doing every other day subq 30mg per injection MWF. Switch to E3D (Sunday evening and Thursday morning) with 50mg per injection. Doing HCG 250iu MWF. 2 grains of Armour and 12.5mg of iodine. Labs below are trough levels Thurs before injection.. Couple of questions: Surprised at my Total T and free T levels. When I was doing every other day injections without HCG they were higher (887 TT and FT of 259 (range 35-155). Why the reduction in levels? Because of less frequent injections and these are trough maybe? Also even though my TT and FT are well within range my DHT is high. Why? Is that because suqb and more conversion subq via skin? I dont have prior subq every other day DHT labs. CBC and Chem profile were fine, hematocrit is fine. I tanked my E with Aromasin which Ive stopped. I read that low E results in higher ferritin (maybe because of resulting inflammation). I will give some blood. My cortisol is always on the higher end.
