[QUOTE="madman, post: 179815, member: 13851"] You are still caught up doing this and no one cruises using trt doses? What are you hoping to accomplish doing such? The goal is to use a dose of T that allows you to attain a healthy TT/FT level while at the same time reaping the positive beneficial effects and minimizing any potential negative side-effects while keeping overall blood markers in a healthy range is what you should be concerned with. As you know labs are critical. You felt great on 120mg/week so why up the dose unless you were not achieving a healthy TT/FT level and were lacking any relief/improvement of low-t symptoms. Going from 120--->140mg is going to have minimal impact on body composition changes as we are on trt here. You dropped your dose down to 120mg/week split into EOD injections and have been on this protocol for over 5 weeks. Was your blood work done at the trough and if so then sure your TT levels are on the higher end and your peak levels will be higher but if you feel great overall and blood markers are in a healthy range than I see no reason for your doctor to drop your dose or cut you off as you say unless he is a stickler for numbers than find a new doctor. Regarding the bio-available T, I am hoping you mean free T as most doctors do not rely on bio-available T = (free testosterone + albumin-bound T). Again we have no idea where your FT sits as the most accurate testing methods for FT such as the gold standard Equilibrium Dialysis (most accurate) and Ultrafiltration (next best) are not available in Canada and the FT used to be tested using the direct immunoassay/tracer analog which is inaccurate and no longer recommended so now FT is done using the calculated linear law-of-mass action Vermuelen method. Post the reference ranges with your blood work. Seeing as your TT level (if done at the trough) is on the higher end than not only will your FT levels be high or really high (depending on your SHBG) but your peak levels will be higher. [/QUOTE]
