[QUOTE="dickielongate, post: 155750, member: 38930"] Hi guys, I really would love some help with this if anyone can spare the time to look. I appreciate it. I feel pretty close to finding my best baseline after 7 months. The doctor wants me to lower my T and go from sustanon to to enanthate. He said that sustanon causes a higher aromatisation effect than enanthate. Converting my numbers to ng/dl, I'm at 22 for free T and 1210 for total from 100mg/week sustanon. Test was 24 hours after my bi-weekly shot I am going to space out the AI a bit (12.5 every 4 days instead of 2) and introduce HCG and see if these brings the E2 up to range. Not my primary reason for HCG, but I understand it will possibly marginally increase E2. I would like to phase out the AI ASAP. As I said with my current E2/free T, I feel just great. I have read that while some TRT practices want a free T no more than 17, people like life extension maintain that 20+ is good. If, once I phase out the AI, my E2 is controlled at higher free T, and hematicrit and PSA remain good, [B]is there any downside [/B]to high total and free T if I feel good? By the way, I am going to do what the doctor advises me, as I do have faith in him. [B]Link Removed[/B] "The current Life Extension optimal level of free testosterone is 20-25pg/mL. " I am confused about this line, because I understand my reading of 0.78 nmol/l to be 22 ng/dl, and to be 220 pg/ml. [B]Right or wrong[/B]? The doc couldn't explain why my SHBG has risen so dramatically (21 to 52, bottom to top end of normal), and vaguely stated AIs can lower prolactin as E2 comes down. But I looked into exemestane, and it looks like it lowers SHBG not raises it. The only things that've changed apart from exemestane (aromasin) are NDT, metformin and cialis. [B]Is it bad to have top end of normal SHBG at 47[/B]? I could cut out the metformin to see if that is influencing things. I have seen evidence that this might be the case in studies, but don't really know enough. [/QUOTE]
