[QUOTE="The slice, post: 278431, member: 46079"] Thanks for taking the time to respond - I fully appreciate the idea of the “normal range” having little to nothing to do with a man’s well being but it’s fair to say that it could be an indicator or a guideline to some degree. As an example of a guy has everything else “appearing to be healthy” but say the E2 or Prolactin or Thyroid is out of range then this would probably be the first thing to look into. I think too low of certain levels is/could be a cause for concern, my SHBG as you pointed out. If this is so low it’s single digets then clearly my body is not functioning correctly. My E2 has been low for years but estrogen therapy is working extremely well in terms of congestive fiction and sense of well being - Aside from seamen load volume increase, I am getting no improvement in libido. I’ve struggled for years on TRT and to be honest, I spent a long time thinking more is better. I also read that high levels of androgens are suppressive on SHBG which is why guys who run steroid cycles end up running it into the ground - I have now read reports of guys being able to raise it by coming of test, running high HCG for a while. Hypothetically speaking, if my testosterone dosage came down, my free test would drop to a more “natural amount” would I be correct in assuming that my androgens would reduce as well? And if so, can you foresee an increase is SHBG? You clearly know a lot more than me so forgive me if I am putting 2+2 together and coming up with 5 [/QUOTE]
