Thanks joaniepat .
Hurdity. The higher T binding may lead to less available E., I've read that too. It would seem whilst conversion of T to E is an issue, , there is a potential opposing effect too as you describe. It realy does seem like there are differing views on this doesnt it?
From myself and joaniepat experience c and w would appear to fall on the side of E levels not being an indicator in prescribing T.
With my results it is clear that not all the T I'm taking is available. It's going somewhere else, in my laywoman's terms, but then my low E on high dose patch is a puzzle not yet solved. Is it simply non absorption or is something else happening to within my body to make it unavailable.
In some senses we are all Guinea pigs when it comes to T, replacement I feel. possibly it's not been in clinical use for long enough . To gain a clear enough picture, certainly of long term effects
Thank you for your thoughts. Xxxx
