    Low SHBG and 13 Recent Lab Work

    Just finished the consult with the RN at Defy on this. She thinks I'm a high metabolizer of Test, just as you guys have also theorized, thus the numbers. The thought now is to try two weekly injections at 80/mg each injection.......160mg / week. They prescribed anastrozole, she could tell I'm...

    Jay........I'm in the same boat.......Metabolic Syndrome. These days I'm more concerned with my A1C than I am my cholesterol numbers.

    TRT has been underwhelming for 4+ years - Low SHBG

    Are you working with Defy? Maybe they could prescribe it to you. I'm not sure if it would work or not, but on other forums I've seen guys adding it to their protocol......guys who seemed to not be getting what they were looking for from TRT alone. Increased libido, increased energy, sense of...

    TRT has been underwhelming for 4+ years - Low SHBG

    I was going to ask if you have looked into adding Proviron to your protocol........but the reason to use Proviron is the characteristic it has.......it lowers SHBG and therefore theoretically increases Free Testosterone. I remember seeing previous posts from you where your Free Testosterone...
