My doctor suggested to go ahead and raise the dose to [email protected] days so 200mg weekly. His theory is see how the individual feels not what the number says. Total T hit 1150 E stayed around 44 without an AI. SHBG still under the lab range. Mostly all I noticed at the higher dose is a slight loss...

Look my point is I'm 53 my free T is normal to high range for a man in his 20's and my bio-available is a minimum of 258 ng/dl, above range for a 20 year old. The total T is low normal but trying to raise it with higher doses of T-cyp will very likely require using an AI for estrogen not...

My free T using the most conservative SHBG number of 14 since the lab didn't list any is 10.3 ng/dL = 2.84 % which is not to bad. Now to debate if Free T is more important than Total T. Albumin was 4.6

Protocol was 20mg@daily. My take on it is that I am able to piss out roughly 15mg of the 20mg dose immediately so going back to the 60mg 3.5 which after literally pissing away 15mg I'll retain roughly 45mg to get the T levels back up. Unlike a high SHBG user who binds it I just pass it through...

I had seen the thread and studies Nelson linked to in the thread Anabolic steroids and TRT decrease SHBG, DHEA, pregnenolone and progesterone in men. but did not realize it could be so extreme at low dose. I also noted I did appear to have a CBG issue not seen in this study at the 3.5 day...

My experience was that it worked for a few months then the benefits faded and levels of T became low again. I think I peaked T about 600 from a start at 250. My doctor said that is somewhat typical of my age group (50's) that he sees but his younger guys can stay on it and seldom lose effect...

I used compounded cream without great success for years and the 7/22 result was typical of prior results. No treatment T level was around 200. Switching to T-Cyp Sub-Q initially had good result but the SHBG crashed. I think I was excreting a large amount on the 3.5 day schedule and tested level...
