[QUOTE="madman, post: 214854, member: 13851"] What is your protocol (dose T/injection) frequency and when were labs drawn? Testing should be done at the trough (lowest point) before your next injection. You are hitting a higher-end TT 994 ng/dL. If this is trough then keep in mind that the peak levels will be higher. Even then we have no clue where your SHBG sits but you can be rest assured that with a TT 994 ng/dL that your FT is going to be high even if you have highish/high SHBG. Increasing your FT will drive up estradiol let alone hematocrit. Excess FT levels can result in acne/oily skin (genetically prone), accelerated balding (genetically prone), drive down HDL, increased RBCs/hemoglobin/hematocrit (common), overstimulation of the CNS (common),[B][I] bloating/water retention due to androgens effects on the retention of electrolytes (common).[/I][/B] Let alone many end up trying to manage estradiol with the use of an aromatase inhibitor. Some of the side effects are due to testosterone metabolites estradiol/DHT. You need a more thorough set of labs FT, estradiol, SHBG let alone RBCs/hemoglobin/hematocrit. As I have stated numerous times on the forum although TT is important to know FT is what truly matters as it is the active unbound fraction of testosterone responsible for the beneficial effects. Critical to know where your trough FT level sits on such protocol. I would not even consider switching esters just yet as we have no idea where your trough FT let alone estradiol sits. [/QUOTE]
