Very high Free T, really need advice!
My protocol used to be 100mg of Cyp T per week total (50mg x2 weekly) with no AI and these were my results:
Quote:
Total Testosterone 534 250 - 1100 ng/dL
Free Testosterone 187.1 35.0 - 155.0 pg/mL
Estradiol 41 pg/mL Males,16 and over : 0-39.8pg/mL
SexHormone Bind Glob 9.83 10 - 57 nmol/L <-- flagged as low
Then we changed my protocol to 120mg a week (60mg x2 weekly) and added .25 mg of arimidex twice a week. I just got my results back and my Free T is VERY high:

Total Testosterone 1009 250 - 1100 ng/dL
Free Testosterone 386.9 35.0 - 155.0 pg/mL H
Estradiol 33 pg/mL Males,16 and over : 0-39.8pg/mL
My doctor now is concerned it's too high and wants me to back off the dose. Free T is so high because SHBG is so low. Also, it's crazy how high my T is after making such a small bump in dose, I really think adding the arimidex is the reason it shot up so much. Unfortunately my symptoms haven't really gone away either. At this point I think whatever is wrong with me isn't solely T related.
However, I don't want to just back off my dose right this second because I am afraid I might feel worse.
How unsafe is it to have Free Testosterone more than double the range?
