Free T Levels Pre and Post TRT

Pharma
1

I’m interested to know what people’s ‘Free Testosterone’ levels were:

Prior to TRT

And

Currently while on TRT

I ask as there doesn’t seem to be a huge amount of discussion regarding free T levels and seems to be concentrated more on Total T despite the massive differences in people’s SHBG

Thanks for your levels @anon18050987

Those free T levels look amazing even without the reference ranges

Was your shbg low prior to TRT?

It’ll be interesting to see what others levels are

My Free T levels are approx 0.45 nmol/l whilst on clomid, so interesting to see what people’s free T levels are on TRT

4.4 ng/dl Pre Trt
20 ng/dl (avg from 7 years on TRT)

Edit: sorry @readalot looks like a replied to you instead of @bbb-steve

This was calculated

Thanks @blshaw

What are your thoughts on me restarting TRT when I’m averaging 0.45 nmol/l free T on clomid with very little side effects?

I’ve always thought of Clomid as something you try to improve HPTA function before committing to TRT. I’ve never met anybody using it long term so I can’t speak to its efficacy for that application.

I actually have low SHBG. Clomid only appears to increase my TT to approximately 17 nmol/l however due to the low shbg, my free T comes out at approximately 0.45 nmol/l

Yes calculated using TT, Albumin and SHBG

Yes that’s initially what my intentions were when starting clomid, but due to it working well I’ve remained on it far longer than planned

I think if I had no other choice I could quite easily get by forever with clomid only, however as I’ve only ever been on useless uk nhs testosterone protocols I think it’s time to see how I feel on a good protocol of sustanon injections weekly plus 500iu hcg 2x/week

I have an appointment with a private TRT doctor on the 22nd

TT - 16.7 nmol/l
SHBG - 17 nmol/l
Albumin - 48 g/L
