Hello I just recently went back to my doctor for some more lab-work.  The last time my Total Testosterone was tested it was in level decent at 20ng/dl.  This time she wanted to run another Total  T test but and in addition run a Free Testosterone test , I don't mind the slow progress but yeah I should be a little farther along than I am.  Has anyone ever had situation like that?  I went to her this past Monday and will not hear back probably until next week because she just went on vacation.  That is why I ask I just wanted to get some other opinions.

If your Total T is low, your free T will be low too, usually more so because SHBG increases on estrogen, to a greater degree when taken orally or if large doses are taken non-orally.
I am not a medical doctor, nor a scientist - opinions expressed by me on the subject of HRT are merely based on my own review of some of the scientific literature over the last decade or so, on anecdotal evidence from women in various discussion forums that I have come across, and my personal experience

On HRT since early 2004
Post-op since late 2005

That is what I was thinking.  It really doesn't make sense the the other way around.
