Thanks for the feedback. Unfortunately, I did not get SHBG ordered (mistake on the order), I will order myself now just to get it in a few days and post. Just prior to starting TRT, my SHBG 52.7 Reference Range: 19.3-76.4 nmol/L In terms of protocol, I am using a Testosterone cream...

Wanted to check back in after a few months and thank everyone for the great input. At my last appointment, my doctor agreed and switched me over to TRT + HCG injections (and removed Anastrozole/AI temporarily). I feel great in all aspects! - energy, libido, mood, etc. After just a couple of...

I get my E level checked with every round of blood tests, so generally every 3-4 months. E levels before AI (while on Clomid) had risen to the 32-35 range (labs above) which is at the top end of the normal range. After AI cycle, level was down to around 22. When E levels were high, most of...
