Interesting thread…. How can one increase SHBG when it is too low?

In terms of my situation then, my takeaway from your words is “less injected test is desirable”. I realize thats a very broad statement, and there are other factors in play that im ignorant of. For context, a once weekly IM inj of 100mg test cyp was known to consistently produce a total t of...

Yes, i understand and thank you for the link. I ran across it earlier this month. I will discuss that method with defy.

It was interesting to note that during january, the hair i rapidly lost on my lower legs and top of head suddenly started coming back….slow, but definitely noticable. I recall reading that testosterone and dht are the main things involved with that. Illhave to ask about that. what? No more...

Am appreciating the participation on this thread. systemlord, your observation on the iron issue and your experience with that prob was helpful. i can read some of the excellent articles here and understand that “lab a” has this effect and “lab b” has that effect….where im struggling is...

In terms of NOT rapidly raising hematocrit by imcreasing iron ”dealt with” meaning h&h lowered to 49 and 17.1, respectively, and the rest is for Defy……i did not mean to imply the situation had been corrected

I cqnt dispute your assertion. Im making a conclusion (or assumption) based on allegedly known common high estrogen symptoms. The anastrazole prescribed substantially improved my mood, but i suspended that also pending Defy consult.

I suspended TRT pending the consult. recent updated cbc shows hematocrit at 49 and hemoglobin at 17.1 imdont know what my current iron levels are, and i havent been taking any supplements for it. Ill be drawing a iron panel and ferritin later this week.

is it correct to say that due to very low SHBG, most of injected test dpesnt get bound up and just hangs loose?

These labs are from 02/06/23, taken five days after injecting a weekly dose of 200mg test enanthate IM. I understand the dose is too high, and no need to discuss that. I temporarily stopped TRT after that injection, pending the Defy consult. Too many things out of control symptom-wise. Too...

Theres some conflicting info on this forum regarding daily iron supplements to combat low ferritin on TRT. There was an excellent and detailed post on raising ferritin fast, but thats not my intent at the moment. i decided on “Ferrochel Iron Chelate - 27mg Iron Bisglycinate Supplement” i found...

I could have sworn I recently read (somewhere) on this forum that significant fat burning doesnt appear until you hit a minimum of 130mg test per week. Ive searched through several threads discussing fat loss and cant find it again. Can someone please point me to that thread or specific guide...

Read through the forum guides, and see SQ individual dosing recommended at max 0.5cc And this reflects what ive heard in the past. Id like to reference these two articles from 2014 and 2019, which specify max volume at 1.5cc (one says up to 3cc in the abdomen). my weekly inj would be over...

One week back in december, i tried 3x dosing (MWF) out of desperation, and it resulted (on 3rd shot) in unpleasant euphoria and rather severe anxiety for several hours…..further reinforcing your observation.

I might be misunderstanding you. Are youmsaying based on the info i provided, I would respond better to one large weekly dose imstead of multiple,dosing through the week? Because that would make a lot of sense looking back at my experiences.
