First blood test -new to injections

[Pauly_P]

Just got my blood tests back:
Total T - 1537
Free T - 39.3
Estradiol - 67.1 (sensitive)
SHBG - 28.7
WBC - 6.8
Hematocrit 47.8
HDL 48
LDL 116

Current protocol 100mg T, monday, thursday. HCG 350iu Tuesday Friday.
I'll start taking an AI, did last night to bring my E down. For a 60 year old male those levels seem too high. I'll reduce my T dose and retest in 8 weeks. I feel good overall, seeing good gains in the gym.
My T level before TRT was 200.

Any advice and how too interpret the low Free T, and the SHBG is appreciated. Also where would you go on twice a week injections. I'm thinking of going to 1/2 dose. I'll see what my doc says as well.

Hi Pauly welcome from another 60 year old.
IMO TT FT and E2 is a bit high. 200mg a week is alot. 120-150 might be better.

Thanks for the reply FL. Good advice, definitely a large reduction in T is called for. I've gained like 6 pounds of muscle since starting. T is amazing stuff, worked my ass off in the gym for years just to barely keep what I had.
