[QUOTE="madman, post: 120307, member: 13851"] Seeing as your TT trough is 11.07 ng/ml converted to 38.4 nmol/L converted to 1107 ng/dl which is over the top end of the physiological range but more importantly your FT is very high 45.2 pg/ml converted to 156.8 pmol/L Men with lower SHBG tend to have higher FT which results in higher e2/free estradiol levels and most can achieve healthy FT levels running a lower TT as oppose to one with high SHBG who would need to run a higher TT sometimes well into the supra-physiological range to achieve a healthy FT 2-3%. I would say because your SHBG is lower and your FT is very high that your e2/free estradiol is elevated and may be effecting your libido among other things. How are you feeling overall? You could easily lower your dose slightly to bring your FT down which would help lower e2/free estradiol. Too bad you do not have access to the estradiol sensitive assay (LC/MS-MS). Injecting every 3.5 days is working for you even with a lower SHBG judging by your TT/FT levels.....but you could still try lower doses injected M/W/F or EOD. You may be able to get away with 80mg/week. If we take your TT 1107 ng/dl, SHBG 28.8 nmol/L and use the Free and Bioavailable Testosterone calculator than your FT is 2.67% and your BT is 62.6% [URL]http://www.issam.ch/freetesto.htm[/URL] Most men need FT to be 2-3% of TT and yours can come down a little.
