[QUOTE="madman, post: 156004, member: 13851"] 180 mg/week is a large dose of T and could easily have ones TT trough very high. Bet your peak is a lot higher! Some studies have shown TT trough levels at 900-1200 ng/dL after weekly injections 200 mg testosterone enanthate. Not shocking that your TT trough would be 1000+ ng/dL from 180 mg/week injection. Seeing as you had the direct immunoassay done which has been show to be inaccurate let alone underestimated FT levels when compared against the gold standard Equilibrium Dialysis testing.....your FT trough levels are much higher than you think.....even with a fairly high SHBG of 54 nmol/L. The only way to truly know where your FT levels sit is to use the most accurate testing methods such as the gold standard Equilibrium Dialysis or Ultrafiltration or if anything use the newer calculated TruT method which has been shown to be on par with results obtained when compared to the gold standard Equilibrium Dialysis. As an example if we use the newer TruT calculated method..... [URL='https://tru-t.org/'][SIZE=18px][B]TruT Free Testosterone Calculator by FPT[/B][/SIZE] [/URL] Taking your TT (trough) 1024 ng/dL, SHBG 54.5 nmol/L and Albumin 4.7 g/dL than your FT (trough) is 31.45 ng/dL (top of the reference range of 16-31 ng/dL). [ATTACH=full]8073[/ATTACH] Many do well having a FT trough in the 30 ng/dL range and some may need/choose to run higher levels in the 30-50 ng/dL range. One needs to keep in mind when looking at ones FT trough levels that depending on injection protocol whether following once weekly, every 3.5 days (twice weekly), EOD, or daily that you pay attention to where your trough levels sit as there will be a big difference in ones peak----->trough levels when injecting once weekly compared to EOD or daily. Seeing as your TT/FT trough levels are in the 30 ng/dL range than your peak levels will be much higher! [/QUOTE]
