Not chasing numbers. I have low SHBG and when I’m over the top range of FT I convert more and have more Free T and require higher dose AI to control estrogen. Was aiming for just below top range to see how I do.

My free T is 30.1 pg/ml and TT is 912.3 ng/dl taking 16mg of test c daily. What do you think I can cut my daily dosage to, to achieve a FT number in the 24-25 range. Thanks.

Somehow I missed your response. I still have a ton of anastrozole so I’ll continue to use it until I run out. Then, I will try aromasin since it appears you’re able to control your estrogen much better. I want to get my estrogen into single digits. I’m currently taking .25 eod and have an E2...

20mg every day?

How much do you recommend I cut my daily dose to if I wanna get my free T from 30.1 to 26.5? I’m currently taking 16mg daily and have a Free T of 30.1.

I completely agree with you. I’ve just held off on testing free E due to the cost and Dr. Crisler really says there is no need when you can use SHBG and estradiol sensitive to make an educated decision. What Free T number do you shoot for? I’m thinking with low SHBG I may be better around 25...

I think if I can get my estrogen into single digits that might resolve my issues. I will report back and see if that helps. Is it also possible that daily injections just aren’t for everybody?

I’m thinking my estrogen is too high for my low SHBG. Vince Carter says he feels the best when his estrogen is 6 and he has a SHBG of 12. I’m thinking us guys need very little estrogen.

I am beginning to think that is the biggest factor in feeling good when having such low SHBG

Yes I’ve crashed it lol. Lowest it had gotten was 6. I operate so much better on a lower estrogen level however with my low SHBG so I actually felt fine. Just surprising to see that on a blood test.

I’m tempted. But daily just seems the most logical. Steady state levels is very intriguing.

Gotcha. I was originally on 200mg split into two doses Monday and Thursday with 1mg of anastrozole on injection says. I actually felt great lol. I only switched to daily because of this site and because I wanted to try and cut back on my arimidex dosage.

16mg/day, not 12. Also, what estrogen number do you aim for?

I went for daily because I have extremely low SHBG and it would be easier to remember when to inject as opposed to EOD. I’m thinking of lowering my dose to 12.5mg. What free T number are you aiming for?

Yes I have. I usually know when my E2 is high when my bp gets high and I have those symptoms I described. What is your dosing schedule like? It’s funny you mention anxiety from daily injections. I almost feel the same from it. I swear I felt better on twice a week injections.

I just got my bloodwork back after switiching to daily test cyp for 6 weeks. I’m taking 16mg/day with .25mg of anastrozole EOD. Free T is 30.1 pg/ml Total T 912.3 ng/dl Estradiol, Sensitive 19.8 pg/ml SHBG 15.9 nmol/L I have a couple questions because even though my lab work may appear...

Hey bro. I did run labs. Check them out. It’s bizarre I’m not feeling well on this protocol because my labs appear textbook. I’ve had pretty bad insomnia where I wake up 3-4 times throughout the night. Also low libido and some ED. I’m running anastrozole .25mg EOD. I’ve always been a heavy...

I might be exaggerating. I switched to daily because I was using an excessive amount of anastrozole on e 3.5 day injections. I was using 1.5mg per week to keep my estrogen in check. I have an SHBG of 10 so I actually feel best when my estrogen is 15 pg/ml if you can believe that. Per your...

Jeez man, this sounds exactly like the situation I put myself in right now. On September 5th, I decided to put myself on 16mg daily injections. I was on E 3.5 days for two years with no issues. But, due to low SHBG and the influencers on this forum I decided to try daily for E2 conversion. So...

I'm stoked to try this out. I've learned alot from lurking this forum from you, coastwatcher, vince, madman, and vincecarter. I'm hoping it fixes my libido issues and general well being. Realizing I have low SHBG was one helluva come to jesus moment.

Ok, gotcha. When I was injecting 200mg/week M/Thr my estrogen was thru the roof and required a whopping 2mg anastrozole/week to control it. But, I guess with the ed injections and lower dose this may not be an issue.

Systemlord thank you for your input and response. I will start with 12mg and see what the labs say. Also, just to clarify should I take anastrozole (if needed) ed or take it EOD? btw, what's your current protocol?

Can some of you knowledge gentleman help me formulate a starting dose for ED TRT injections. I am low SHBG, high free T, and high estrogen guy. Really stuck on how much test and anastrozole I should begin with given my situation.

I’m going to start daily injections. What is a good starting dose for my testosterone cyp and anastrozole keeping in mind i’m Low SHBG and sensentive to estrogen conversion. I see 16mg/day as a common starting dose. But, is that too high? And how much arimidex?

I’m open to everyday injections. My goal is to better control estrogen and get my free T number back into physiologic range. Would it make sense to lower dosage to achieve this? And what total T and free T number should I aim for?

Hello, Long time reader of this forum. First time actually posting. I’ve been on TRT for 2 years due to steroidal induced hypogonadism. I’m 25. Total T was low 200’s and never came back. After two years of TRT i’ve finally come to the conclusion and realization that I have low SHBG and thus...
