I'm a 48 year old male, and been lifting for 30 years. I noticed something wasn't right the past few years and, long story short, I've been on TRT for about 3 mos and I'm working with my doctor to get the proper dosage. 100mg per week wasn't providing the results, so we've bumped it to 150mg wk with frequent blood work ( every 4 weeks).
My baseline levels were:
Serum test: 241
Free test: 3.6
Estradiol: 6.8
However, after bumping to 150 per wk, my serum is at approximately 550 and estradiol still in the low range, however, my free test is up around 50. As I understand it, there's an excess of test floating around my system but not locking onto a receptor.
FYI - Due to the information on this forum, I've recently added LGD-4033 from Sarms1 to my regimen (about 4 weeks in).
My question, is - can the LGD be causing the spike in free test and are there any potential dangers in having a high free test level? My doctor seems a bit concerned and is ordering a re-test, either concerned something is wrong or that, perhaps, something went wrong with the last blood sample.
Any and all replies and insight welcome. Thanks.
