[QUOTE="madman, post: 159744, member: 13851"] Your labs were done at the wrong time.....you needed to be on your new protocol for a full 6 weeks to allow blood levels to stabilize! The method used to test your FT is an outdated calculated method which has been shown to underestimate FT levels. The only way to truly know where your FT level sits it to have testing done using the most accurate testing methods such as the gold standard Equilibrium Dialysis or Ultrafiltration.....or if anything just use the newer calculated TruT method which has been shown to be on par with results obtained by the gold standard Equilibrium Dialysis. It is available online to the general public. Looking over your most recent labs if we use the newer calculated TruT method than with a TT 1171 ng/dL, SHBG 60.94 nmol/L, Albumin 4.9 g/dL than your FT level is 34.61 ng/dL (over the top end of the reference range of 16-31 ng/dL). [ATTACH=full]8363[/ATTACH] As you can clearly see even with a high SHBG of 60.94 nmol/L and [COLOR=rgb(44, 130, 201)][B]EVEN with a slightly elevated Albumin 4.9 g/dL (mean 4.3) [/B][/COLOR]that your FT is high due to your high TT 1171 ng/dL. Now keep in mind if these labs were done at trough than your peak TT/FT levels will be even higher.....but again you had only been on the 50 mg every 3.5 days protocol for 2 weeks before having labs so I would say that your TT/FT levels may be even higher if you had blood work done at the proper time (after 6 weeks on new protocol). It is now the end of September so your blood levels would have stabilized by now.....you need to get a new set of labs done to TRULY see where your TT/FT/E2 levels let alone hemoglobin/hematocrit sit!
