[QUOTE="mw10200, post: 207392, member: 42935"] Any guys here with normal total t and high shbg (pre trt) that could give me some advice please? Had blood tests done 4 time over the last year. Each time everything was right where it needed to be axcpet for my shbg. Total t has been 620-743. Shbg has been 56-75. Putting my free t between 9.1 and 10.5 ng/dl. For free t ng/dl I've seen ranges from 4-21 and other labs outside of the US that were 9-30. So I'm having trouble figuring out if my symptoms are caused by my t levels or if it's something else. I'm having a hard time because I feel like an outlier. Seems easy to know if trt is the right option if your total is low. Having the shbg issue is making me second guess my decision. I have already been approved through a clinic and have meds on hand, Just hesitant to start. If I were going off symptoms alone I would have started treatment last year. But free t ranges are making me confused and wonder if I have a different issue. Classic symptoms: lethargy, zero motivation, easily overwhelmed, anxious, depressed, no sex drive and moodiness/Irritability (the last one is the worst). I got gyno during puberty and my estradiol has been on the very high end of the range each time I've had my blood drawn. I'm 33yo 6'4" currently 195lb. About 18%bf. Was at a 6 pack for my first blood test but have been bulking for a while. Get 7-9 hours sleep every night. Take zinc, fish oil, zma, multi and d3. Tdee is 2900 and I make sure to get 1.1-1.3 grams of protein per lb of body weight. Fat intake is at 25% of my total and I shoot for healthy fats: avocados, almonds etc. Always at least at maintenance if not surplus calories for blood tests. Any high shbg guys here that could give me some insight? Is my free t considered low? I'm extremely anxious to start trt. The 'lifelong commitment' idea scares the hell out of me. But at the same time I can't continue on feeling this way- most days I feel like a lazy, unmotivated PMSing blob. TIA [/QUOTE]
