[QUOTE="madman, post: 193992, member: 13851"] As you can clearly see on your current protocol that trough TT is very high and again as I stated in an earlier thread that although your FT is high it was tested using an inaccurate assay (piss poor direct immunoassay). Although TT is important to know FT is what truly matters as it is the active unbound fraction of testosterone responsible for the positive effects. It is critical to test your FT using an accurate assay! You need to test FT using the most accurate assays such as the gold standard Equilibrium Dialysis or Ultrafiltration (next best) to know where your FT truly sits on such protocol (dose T/injection frequency). Bet if you had FT tested using an accurate assay it would be much higher than you think even with an SHBG of 45 nmol/L which is far from really high! Blood levels will stabilize (4-6 weeks) and blood work is done at 6 weeks always testing at the true trough. You may very well need to lower your T dose slightly as your FT levels may still be too high on the EOD protocol. [/QUOTE]
