MY TRT Bloodwork numbers help?

Well I am now lost on how to up free T with a TT of 741 and free T of 1.33%

Take more testosterone. Or let your estrogen increase.

Perhaps diet adjustments or body fat reductions.

Take more test to get over the hump. Your free T at a TT of 1200 would likely be what mine is at with a TT of 800.

Ok update and need advice.

I went to the doctor and was prescribed some HCG. Here is the catch they want me to take 500 IU 3 x per week. When I ask which days I get, "whichever works for you". I take 50mg of test Tuesday mornings and Friday afternoons, they said just take the HCG MWF so its easy to remember.

Now obviously any increase in E2 is a concern for me. I have seen on here and other sites that HCG is usually dosed at 250 IU twice per week not 500 IU 3 times per week. If I can get away with less I would prefer it.

What is a typical protocol for someone taking test every 3.5 days? I cant find what Crisler suggests for twice weekly T injections.

Any suggestions.

Moat guys on TRT take between 250-500iu twice a week. I would recommend starting at 250iu twice a week. Take it on the days you inject Test and at the same time.

That's Megatron, that sounds easy enough. Wanted to make sure is I thought I had heard something about two days before day before, blah blah but that may have been for once weekly injections.

Thanks again.

You can try to play with the timing to, in theory, optimize everything. I personally would recommend just keeping it easy and simple. I don't think it will make that much of a difference in the scheme of things.

I tried to do exactly that - optimize the timing. Turns out it really did not make much of a difference at all...and the difference it DID make did not translate into real world differences, only a numerical difference. So yeah, just keep it easy and simple.

Had some recent blood work. I dont have all the results yet.

Total T = 1141 range 250-1100
Free T = dont know yet
Estriadol = 35
Vit D = 56
Progesterone = <0.5 with a range of < 1.4 ng/ml
Pregnenolone = 39 range 13-208

My concern is the pregnenolone being low. I hope to get some other test back but not sure when. Again i take 50 mg of cypionate twice per week and 300IU of HCG three times per week. I dont take any DHEA or Pregenolone supplements. If i do take them what is the usual dose? Why does HCG not back-fill these pathways?
