[QUOTE="bouquetCPA, post: 162301, member: 15595"] My total testosterone levels need to just above the top end of the spectrum in order to have a decent amount of free-t. Why? Because my SHBG runs high (50 - 70 nmol/L) and "normal" total testosterone levels of 500 or 600 ng/dL will have my free testosterone at 6 to 10 pg/mL. BTDT and it almost felt as bad as my pre TRT levels in the 200s with lack of energy and all that jazz. I tried explaining this to my GP when he said I shouldn't have such a high dose of testosterone keeping my total levels around 1,000 to 1,100. He didn't understand the concept of free testosterone at all and tried to tell me I was taking a "body builder's" dose. Umm, I'm afraid he was wrong there too... [/QUOTE]
