[QUOTE="madman, post: 210772, member: 13851"] FT 5-10 ng/dL would be considered low. FT 16-31 ng/dL (top-end) is healthy. Many will do well with FT 20-30 ng/dL. Some may choose to run higher levels. Comes down to the individual. Not sure where your SHBG sat on your previous protocol 80 mg T split (40 mg every 3.5 days) but with a trough TT 900-1000 ng/dL and low/lowish SHBG your trough FT would most likely be over the top end (mid-high 30s). Even if you had highish/high SHBG your trough FT would most likely be near/just over the top end (the high 20s/low 30s). Peak FT levels will be higher. On your current protocol, 49 mg T/week (15 mg EOD) you are hitting a much lower trough TT 597 ng/dL, and seeing as your SHBG is only 24 nmol/L than your trough FT would most likely still be healthy (high teens/low 20s) far from being low. Peak FT levels will be higher. You easily have room to increase your dose and bring up your trough FT. Knowing where your trough FT level truly sits is critical. The only way to know is to have it tested using the most accurate assays (ED or UF). [/QUOTE]
