Injecting Test will be problematic for you twofold. First, it can lower HDL further which yours isn’t great. Although an AI will do it far worse. Second, as @systemlord stated it can decrease SHBG too. If FT is accurate, I wouldn’t jump on TRT. You are not likely to see significant results unle…

[image] blshaw: Your FT is already high What doesn’t make sense to me is why my fT more than doubled in 6 months. My SHBG lowered a lot and TT was more or less constant, so any clues why SHBG would drop?

It didn’t. You used calculated before versus lab measured. If you calculated it again, it would actually be lower.

Is it normal for calculated vs tested fT to be this far off? Calculated shows I’d be at 7.94, which would be below range - but tested shows 21.2.

Many many things in common with my Labs. The grey area…is where we are.
