[QUOTE="DragonBits, post: 163514, member: 18023"] I don't often measure shbg along with total T/FT, but over the years I have 7 measurements. Only once in 2011 did I use lc/MS/MC to measure FT, but I didn't measure SHBG at the time. These are tests from 2015-2019, with and without TRT, there are more tests but I didn't test for SHBG often.
