A mini-cycle. Anyone see any problems?

[Alpin]

This is not a cycle. You are still keeping your Total Testosterone in the normal range at this increased dosage. A cycle is normally 500mg/week or more.

If you like the higher TT levels and you see no ill effects, you should tell your doctor that you want to increase your dosage. Tell him about the experiment you ran and let him see the blood work. If he pushes back on you remind him strongly that you are still in the normal range.

A cycle can be above 250 mg/week.

He was taking about 140mg/week. Definitely in TRT territory for dosage.

Actually, 60mg E4D is 15 mg/day or 105 mg/week. At that dose, my total T has a troth of about 900 ng/dL and my free T stays above 200 pg/mL.

Can my free T really be so far above range (30-135)?

 

[Megatron28]

Yes, it is possible. Things that would contribute are the use of an Aromatase Inhibitor, low SHBG or low Albumin.

I am using an AI, adex at 0.25 mg E2D. Are there any problems with low SHBG or low Albumin?

What is your estradiol at? That is a lot of Adex given your test dosage.

There can be problems with low SHBG and Albumin, but I don't think you need to worry about it It is more theoretical to why your Free T may be high.

That 60 mg of Test is more like 49 mg of Test after you take out the ester.
