[QUOTE="madman, post: 157879, member: 13851"] I got my results back today from LabCorp. My protocol for the last 6 months, 18 mg of testosterone cypionate daily, 500 iu of HCG twice a week, pregnenolone 10 mg and dhea 25 mg daily. No AI.

They don't have a patient portal. I'll get their results on the 16th. All comments good or bad are welcome. [COLOR=rgb(0, 0, 0)]One comment, I have not had to donated blood for a few years.[/COLOR] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ As your very well know the direct immunoassay is a waste of time when testing FT so you would never truly know where your FT levels sit on such protocol.....unless you tested using the gold standard Equilibrium Dialysis or Ultrafiltration (next best) or as you know the newer calculated TruT method (on par with results obtained by ED). At least you can see that your FT levels are a lot higher now on your current protocol!

[ATTACH=full]8211[/ATTACH] As you can see since you increased your T dose from 16 mg/daily--->18 mg daily that your TT jumped almost 300 ng/dL as it was 880 ng/dL and now is 1165 ng/dL. Although your SHBG has also increases some from 39.7--->55 nmol/L.....because your TT is a lot higher your FT levels are now much higher as it went from roughly 30--->40 ng/dL. [/QUOTE]
