Thanks for that, indeed quite pricey but a secondary option none the less if my doctors refuse to order the proper tests!

I am indeed. I would suspect he does but the thing is the nurse gave me the bloodwork req not him. Thanks for this info. My yearly bloodwork showed my TSH had come down since then to 1.3 after supplementing iodized salt and selenium, need to have another full thyroid panel soon. Just annoying...

Did you read my original post and read the advice I was given? You are correct I likely should have started at the 100 mg my doctor originally recommended, but having no idea what level I would get to off a certain dose I decided I'd rather my level slightly higher than lower given such a high...

I believe my docs ideal range for total T is between 800-1100 ng/dL. Hopefully he understands the importance of Free T. I wish I could just walk in and pay for what blood tests I need right then and there without a doc handing me the requisition, but for now I guess I just gotta do what the doc...

I see, Thanks for clarifying that. I am also in Ontario. So its possible my Estrogen isn't extremely elevated and its just a complete guessing game for now? I hate feeling like I need to explain things to my doc. I feel like this should all be common knowledge among doctors by now. I'll try my...

I see, why exactly are the ranges relevant as long as you know where about you want to be? The reason I use lifelabs over dynacare is so I can look up my results online I am certain. 0.65 on a 1 ml syringe is what I've been doing. Started out doing 0.6 (120 mg) the first week then went up to...

I'll start off by linking my original thread here : Extremely high SHBG Just got my results back after 4 weeks of being on TRT, attached my results. My E2 and TT are way too high. Total Testosterone : 69.5 nmol/L (2004 ng/dL) Estradiol : 285 pmol/L (77 pg/mL) I've been injecting 130mg Test E...

Just got my results back after 4 weeks of being on TRT, attached my results. My E2 and TT are way too high. Total Testosterone : 69.5 nmol/L (2004 ng/dL) Estradiol : 285 pmol/L (77 pg/mL) I've been injecting 130mg Test E into thigh 1" 25g needle once every 6 days along with HCG 400iu 3x per...

Thanks for your input, I've been taking 130 mg / week so far and have been doing pretty good on that. No side effects that I can tell. But indeed I do feel better at the beginning of the week than the end. Ten Tcy? I'm confused as to what you're recommending here The nurse told me the...

My liver function appears to be normal from my bloodwork results Also my E2 came back quite low at only 12, the nurse told me I was bottomed out on E. Why do you recommend twice weekly instead of once per week? I thought the large once per week is what could possibly help lower the SHBG?

This doctors ideal range is between 800 and 1100 so hopefully wouldnt have a problem me running a slightly higher total test, he seems pretty understanding. What kind of dose would I need to force my free t up? Would my high SHBG prevent some aromatase from happening at such a high total test...

Hey there, I was recently given a prescription for 0.5cc (100mg/week) Test Enanthate and HCG 0.4cc 3x per week. Is this a good starting dose? I was thinking of starting at 120/week. What really confused me was the nurse and doctor seemed very uninformed about the importance of SHBG and free...

Hello, I'm a 25 year old type 1 diabetic and recently got my thyroid checked https://imgur.com/a/VOU1eSp TSH : 4.28 FREE T4 : 17 pmol/l FREE T3 : 5.1 pmol/l REVERSE T3 : 32 ng/dl My shbg is usually very high (90-105) and free test is usually on the lower end of the lab ranges. Would this have...

No I'm not on TRT, my main problem is with free T, I have had my SHBG checked twice, it came back at 95 nmol/l, the 2nd time it came back at 105 nmol/l. Each time I've had my free testosterone checked its been on the low end of the lab ranges. My hemoglobin and hematocrit are usually within...

Here are my lab results, any insight would be greatly appreciated. https://imgur.com/a/VOU1eSp Still waiting to follow up with the doc, long waiting list. Would starting TRT and thyroid medication be my best option? What would be the best form of treatment for my thyroid issues? Thanks

I never planned on taking thyroid meds, was just wondering if the hypothyroidism could be linked to the high shbg and low free testosterone, and if it's possible thyroid function would normalize upon starting TRT or not. My liver and kidneys are still working at 100 percent according to my doc...

Is it possible that upon fixing the low t issue my thyroid function would improve? thanks

I will most definitely ask about those tests. I suppose its also worth mentioning I'm an occasional cannabis user, as I believe it helps reduce diabetic complications. Is it likely that it's wreaking havoc on my endocrine system including high shbg and tsh? If so I will likely discontinue it...

Hello all, been lurking this community for a while and figured it's time to make my first post. I'm a 25 yo male that has had type 1 diabetes since age 4 and am generally in good health otherwise. Earlier this year I began suspecting I had a low t issue, so went to my GP and had my free / total...
