[QUOTE="crash1270, post: 45743, member: 2341"] I restarted TRT back in march after being off for almost 18 months due to Central Serous Retinopathy(which has gone away ). I am with defy medical but I don't have a consult for 10 days. Some of my numbers came back out of range. Since I had CSR reaction while on TRT I am looking for some input while I am waiting for my follow up consult. I am 45 yrs old. Very healthy except for smoking if that's possible(trying to quit). 6' 2" 220 lbs. Lift weights regularly and have fairly low body fat. Before I stopped I was being injected by lowTcenter 120mg 1Xwk. Started HCG self inject at a later date of therapy 250 iu 2x wk. Was also taking Anastrozole very small dose 1xwk. FYI the CSR showed itself when my doctor doubled my dose because I was going out of town. Here is my test from March before starting back on TRT. I don't see SHBG anywhere on the test(am I missing it?). Only thing out of range was low HDL(how does one improve low HDL?).
