How are my week 4 levels new to TRT

Lawrence P

22d • Let's discuss anything here

Doc put me on 140mg/week test cyp in MCT oil taken daily on a 29g insulin needle

Before

TT: 16.3 nmol/L (11–40)

Free T: 365 pmol/L (260–740)

E2: <50 pmol/L (<165)

SHBG: 29 nmol/L (10–70)

After (current) 4 weeks in

TT: 34.0 nmol/L (11–40)

Free T: 901 pmol/L (260–740)

E2: 191 pmol/L (<165)

SHBG: 25 nmol/L (10–70)

USA format

Before

TT: 470 ng/dL (317–1154)

Free T: 105 pg/mL (75–213)

E2: <13.6 pg/mL (<44.9)

SHBG: 29 nmol/L

After

TT: 981 ng/dL (317–1154)

Free T: 260 pg/mL (75–213)

E2: 52.0 pg/mL (<44.9)

SHBG: 25 nmol/L

Change

TT: 470 → 981

Free T: 105 → 260

E2: <13.6 → 52.0

SHBG: 29 → 25

No E2 side effects it is slightly higher I think it will settle down as I'm in a fat loss phase.

I am primary hypo and the starting bloods was the highest levels I managed to get after trying to boost my levels for 15 years I started much lower in my early 20s, feel completely different to Before but I do feel like there could be a tiny wiggle room to go up a little in my dose or maybe just need more time.

I did recently change clinics who have recommended I put my dose up, my only concern is my E2 climbing but I have lost another 2lb since this blood draw was sitting around 28%bf so likely will be down another 8-10lb by the time the new dose hits steady state.
