Trough FT of 125 is low, yes? (Daily 50/50 Enan/Prop)

[50BMGdoesitforme]

Hey all - after years of disappointment on Cyp and a glimmer of hope on Enanthate, I began a 50/50 blend of Enanthate and Prop two months ago. Results have been ok but not as good as I was hoping for; just got my lab work back and free T is 125! I've been injecting every morning; also, due to a lab messup the actual draw was about 27 hours since my last injection.

I realize with shorter esters I'll have a faster up- and downswing but 125 does seem low; on Cyp a free T of 200 was fine but when my trough got closer to 250 I started feeling negative effects. Thinking I'll up my dosage and see how I feel and what the labs say - is that a decent plan?

For context I'm low SHBG and E2 came back at 33.

Thanks all!

Which free testosterone test is that, both methodology and normal range? If it's a so-called direct test it's nearly meaningless. With many FT tests 125 pg/mL is very robust, sometimes even excessive, for a daily trough value. Increasingly I think the daily peak value of free testosterone is the more important parameter, as long as troughs are not extremely low.

Hey Cataceous - thanks for the reply. It's the one I've always gotten under the Male section of Discounted Labs, in a bundle with ultrasensitive E2 and hematocrit; it says TESTOSTERONE, FREE (DIALYSIS) AND TOTAL,MS; does that help? Range is 35-155 pg/ml. Total T was 722 (range 250-1100), which since I'm low SHBG is unusually low. Also interesting that the peak would be more relevant - any chance there is a target value for it? Wondering if I need to test at peak (which might be 3 hours after injection?) vs increasing my dosage...
