    Results in! 9/11/20 Blood Test

    @Executive7 I joined this forum looking for answers to my low SHBG as well (mine was 13 in 2018). I was struggling with Dr's protocols as well. I followed recommendations from Vince and others who had were injecting frequently. I changed my protocol on my own between Dr visits... started at...

    Thank guys. Mark, my Dr asked me about symptoms etc and stated all my other numbers look good... and stated since I feel good he did not see the need for an AI. I had also mentioned I did not want to take it unless absolutely necessary. I will schedule the ultra sensitive and update the...

    About 4 months on TRT, Hyper-metabolizer?

    Mark, the Estradiol is Roche ECLIA (the wrong one). I think I am going to get my own sensitive Estradiol test done, should I test the trough or peak? If the sensitive test shows high I am thinking of changing injection to EOD as Vince Carter recommended above.

    Wow Vince those numbers are great, thanks for sharing. I think I will begin the HCG Friday, as my Test is dropping and begin the E3.5 and .25 HCG protocol and see how that works out. I may just order my own labs from discount labs early to see what the Estradiol is doing. Vince do you inject...

    Thank you Vince. I looked into the Estradiol test last night and you are correct, I will get it changed for my next labs in a month or so. I will start E3.5 next week. What do you think about HCG? Should I wait to start it? Start low at .125 on injection days?

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
