Thread: Free Testosterone High 219.8

It's a relationship between Albumin, SHBG, and total testosterone.

Are you using cream or injections? The total test number seems low for that dosage, and the free test seems high. Are you using HCG?

Injections and no HCG. Below are the rest of the results

Albumin - 4.4
Globulin - 2.0
Ratio - 2.2

I don't see SHBG and I'm not sure what that means.

Sex Hormone Binding Globulin

If your doc was concerned your Free T was too high, she would have tested it. This number has a direct relationship with free t.

2 years of T and nothing else would cause a hormone cascade. I'd get this tested, along with DHT, DHEA DHEA/S, cortisol, and seriously consider adding HCG. How's your thyroid function? Is your body fat % healthy?

I'm not sure on bf%

estradiol is a bit high.. should be under 30. that could be why you arent feeling 100%. .25 mg of arimadex should help.. once or twice er week. high estradiol can kill libido even if test is high.

Sounds good but what do you think may be causing the high free test? Any thoughts on that

Honestly, I think that's a lab error. With a albumin of 4.4 and a TT of 671, I don't know how you could get that high of a free reading. Unless they put the bio-available number in the free column. If that's the case, it's not a high reading, but a low one. Get it retested and ask for SHBG, and for a better picture, the other tests I mentioned above. If your doctor isn't leading you down this road, you need a new one.

E2 is a little high, but not a big concern if you don't have other symptoms. Like the other poster mentioned, a little adex will bring that down.

On a side note, you really should consider doing something about your diet, your cholesterol is... um, not good.

gotcha! Yeah the cholesterol is a work in progress. My diet was about as good as it could get leading up to this test so the doc increased my crestor script. I don't think my doc completely understands the whole T replacement. I had to ask her to even test the E2. Which was a long drawn out discussion. The problem is finding a new one that accepts insurance in my area.
