I inject 60mg of cypionate on Tuesday and Saturday morning. This test was done on Saturday morning before blood was taken. I an suposing this would be my lowest level of the week. Everything else was normal and has not changed in the past 3 blood test. Cholesterol was a little high but that is heriditary and I stopped taking my 1/2 pill of the lowest dose of Vytorin. ( I cut from full pill with no change so I attempted to come off completely.) I feel good with a brutal work out schedule but have to admit I felt better when I was at 160mg. My level though at 160mg was at 1400 on friday so I cut down. I am at a low fat level, under 10%. I am concerned about the estrogen.

You have felt better because you have had better FreeT.
It was somewhat to high (350), but now is definitely too low.
You want to be at 300 or slightly better.
Best would be if you could test at Quest, using this test
Testosterone, Free, Bio/Total (LC/MS/MS)

On this test you want to have
BAT~575

Using chart or calculator your
Albumin=4.5
SHBG=35
TT=939

FreeT=211(160-300)
=========================
TT=1400

FreeT=350
=========================
TT=1250
FreeT=203

120mg -->936
160mg -->1400
Xmg------>1250

(1250-936)/(1400-936)*(160-120)+120=147

use 150mg/week, that is 75mg/each shot
--------------------------------------------------
About E2, you are very close to a good E2 level or it is good already.
You are so close that testing will not help.
If you nightly wood and otherwise sex is good, stay there, or otherwise tweak your AI (gingerly).

When you increase your T dose that may require tiny bit extra od AI (Arimidex/Liquidex/Anastrozole).

This was my blood work at 200mg a week. At 160 mg my total was 1400 but the free was lower. Testing was done at labcorp.

I have been on 200mg of test cyp. It is broken down to 100mg every tuesday night and saturday morning. The blood work listed was done on friday morning. I feel great and the classic symptons of andropause are gone. Before my levels were at 380 and I felt like an old man. What do you guys think? Is high test a problem? Should I worry about the estrogen.

I am confused, you are saing in one place that on 160mg you got TT=1400
then you are posting blood test results and you post
TT=1299
=============================================

Long story short,
for my self I am looking for:

either
FreeT~300
when using chart or calculator

or (better)
BAT~575
on the correct test from Quest Diagnostics.

and most important

unless you are doing (the correct) test at Quest,
do not even look at FreeT results given by any other test.

=============================================

With all that said, your goal is to get on steady routine,
that is,
not change your T-shot size from one blood test to the next,
even if the results are not exaclty perfect.

If the TT=1299 is your actual result
very likely 160mg/week is what you actually need,
may be, 155mg.

Make sure that you are doing correct (ultrasensitive) blood tests for E2.
Deal with E2 as a separate project.
Watch E2 only loosely using blood test.
Most of the adjustment of any AI is by nighly wood, erection status, feel in nipples.
Supposedly it is better to do 24hr urine testing to do check on E2.
That is nice if you have $250 lying around every two months, I do not.

What about DHT, FreeT3, rT3?
---
.Dihydrotestosterone 92 Range 25-75

That looks fine.

FreeT3, rT3?
