I've been having Labcorp's free direct test all along and it seemed pretty on par with SHBG and Total T. Results were pretty consistent at and just a bit over "normal range, and in agreement with TruT calculator. However, I currently have a unique situation. I have leukemia, and from that...

TT 1385 ng/dL, with an absurdly high SHBG 138 nmol/L.....FT is just over the top end!
As I have stated numerous times on the forum one can easily achieve a healthy let alone high-end or in many cases absurdly high FT even in cases of high/highish SHBG.
Hitting an absurdly high TT is not needed even in cases of highish/high SHBG.
The only way to know where your FT level truly sits is to have it tested using the most accurate assays such as the gold standard Equilibrium Dialysis or Ultrafiltration.
Especially in cases of ALTERED SHBG!
The sad fact of the matter is many are using/relying upon inaccurate assays when testing.
Many are running FT levels much higher than they think and some of these individuals are struggling with such protocol.
