[QUOTE="madman, post: 211284, member: 13851"] [B][I]So, errors happened even using the most accurate assays. [/I][/B] They do now and then but it is far from common unlike the piss poor direct immunoassay which is known to be inaccurate let alone should not be used/relied upon when testing FT. [B][I]Like you stated, the same assays should be used and that I did. It would not be a fair comparison had I not used the same assays and to me, would have been a waste of time.[/I][/B] Again you used the wrong assay for FT. The direct immunoassay should not be used.....period! Your TT dropped 277 ng/dL (a fair amount) but far from drastic and it is highly doubtful your FT was cut in almost half let alone your SHBG barely budged. I applaud you for putting in the effort overall but again the numbers are misleading due to using inaccurate assays especially when it comes to free testosterone. Aside from the numbers when it comes to how you truly felt overall I am doubting you gave the protocol a full 12 weeks as you stated.....[B][I]I was on the SubQ protocol for 9 1/2 weeks[/I][/B] You bailed early. Even then after 9.5 weeks, you stated.....[B][I]How do I feel? [U]I feel pretty good but not as good as I felt on the shallow IM injections[/U]. I don't feel like I have quite the energy I had on shallow IM. I've never had an acne problem but I did notice some small acne on my chest and back that I did not have on the shallow IM. I didn't like that[/I][/B] At least you still felt pretty good even with a somewhat lower T level so injecting strictly sub-q was far from a disaster as many of those [I][B]BRUHs [/B][/I]would have you believe!
