I doubt that my PC checked estrodiol, I suspect that is where my shbg problem is coming from. I don't understand why it would be high enough to cause shbg to be nearly off the scale. I hope defy finds the cause and comes up with a treatment that works. I'm tired of feeling like this.

Well, vitamin d and zinc are well documented for free testosterone. But I have started the process of becoming a Defy patient. I talked to a guy there think his name was Adam, he told me more about what they do and how to start the process. I called my primary care Dr and requested all my lab...

Well maybe it's worth a shot with defy, seems pretty pricey and I'm not too sure I can afford it. But maybe I'll give them a call this week.

Well I guess I could get it checked again, but as how my Dr said it's ok, I don't think I want to mess with the dosage much, I've been at the same prescription level for about 3 years now, long before the symptoms of high shbg came along.

Yes, that's right, I'm taking supps now, may or may not be working, but probably not too harmful. It would be good if someone who was admittingly self administering TRT would chime in with some actual personal experience. I may to to Defy, I just don't know yet. If I did decide to self...

I started on levrothroxine about 5 years ago to treat my hypothyroidism, my new (at the time Dr) cought in in his new patient blood work. He said my levels were levels he would have expected to see in a patient in their 70's. But my last annual checkup back in April, my throid numbers were fine...

Well I filled out the form on Defy's website and recieved an email from them explaining their services. I might go that route, I just don't know what to do.

Well from what I have read on this forum and a few others shbg is a regulator that is hard to lower and even harder raise if you have very low shbg levels. I have read that raising testosterone helps, my total t was 685 when I was tested almost 2 months ago, so I could go higher with TRT to the...

Well I'm already taking 10,000 Iu's of D3. Along with stinging nettle root extract.

I live in Venice Florida, small town, close to Sarasota, bigger city. Yeah that is what I'm afraid of in reference to the supps, honestly I feel better on them, but not like my normal self. My endo, has already stated that under her care, I'm a candidate for TRT, I'm due back to see her in a few...

Well here is my story. Two months ago I saw my Dr (primary care) for my annnual checkup, he ordered some blood work as usual, but doesn't normally check for low t, even though most of the patients I see in his waiting room might be suffering from low t just from their age. Anyway he said all...

Well I'm going to try the diet and the supps I'm taking, vitamin d, zinc, magnesium, stinging nettle root and tongkat ali, for about 2 months then get my test levels checked again via private labs or other such service and see if there is any improvement, if not maybe I go back to my old eating...

Well I'm kind of hoping that someone on this board is a nutritionist and will chime in with how reduction of simple carbs will affect my test or shbg levels. My doctor said that the simple carbs "kind of clog up your whole body and not let all the organs and hormones work the way they are...

Well I'm noy on TRT yet, she want's to see how the diet and lifestyle changes affect my blood tests in 4 months.

See the link in the beginning of the thread.

Hi, I posted baseline bloodwork in the previous thread, the link in the beginning of this thread. As I recall, total t was 685, free test was 49, and shbg was 70.

This is a follow up post from previous thread : https://www.excelmale.com/forum/showthread.php?10651-High-SHBG-Low-BioAvailable-T-Options I had my first appintment with my endocronologist yesterday. SHe started out by asking me why I was refered to her. I told her about my symptoms fatigue...

Yeah, no problem injecting at all, no phobia of needles at all.

I'm not saying I can't inject myself, last year I used inject able test e to put on 15 lbs. of lean muscle. I injected twice a week.

Oh well I have heard of Dr.'s that start patients out injecting them at their offices and then after a while clearing the patients for injecting themselves at home.

I am in FL but Tampa is an hour to hour and half away, too far to drive once a week for an injection of testosterone. I'll be looking for a Dr. within a half hour drive.

Well I am hoping I can convince my doctor to put me on TRT then, but I don't have high hopes for that. Honestly I would consider self administered TRT if I can't find a local Dr. that will work with me and TRT.

Yes other test were run here are the results I live in Sarasota Florida.

Really? Well I think I would try to find a new Dr., I just want to feel like myself again. I have never felt this tired, run down and worn out in my entire life, even when I worked 16+ hours a day doing 2 jobs.

So if my doctor doesn't want to treat my symptoms with TRT what are other options?

Hi there, I just joined this forum hoping that someone here can give me a little understanding about some test results I just got back. When I went to me doctor about a week ago for my annual checkup I told him I was feeling ab normal, tired, no energy, muscle weakness, no middle of the night...
