My first labs

A bit confused by these results. I think I was being mistreated on BioTE pellets and have converted to T-cyp 40mg IM M-W-F and HCG 500 IU T-Th-Sat. Total test: 928 Free test: 12 Estradiol sensitive: 5.9 SHBG: 78 DHEA: 574 Why so low on the free testosterone? What to do about the SHBG?
