high shbg

I'm a 46 yo male, 150lb, 5' 6", been on TRT on/off for almost 3 years. After trying 6 months off of TRT (not fun), I restarted at a lower dose of 16mg every other day subq of cypionate/propionate blend (160/40/mg/ml). Previously I was dosing 20mg every other day, but had elevated hematocrit of...

I'm a 53 year old man in good health. I've been using a compounded testosterone cream 20-25 mg per day for a couple of years due to low bioavailable T. In 2019, I was experiencing anxiety, insomnia, low energy and some chronic GI issues. Here was my blood work in 2019: total T 528 ng/dl...

Hi folks, I am a newbie, not on TRT, have never taken T or steroids, am 66 years old and have been working out since a teenager. Just got blood tests done at Quest (thanks, Nelson, Discount Labs worked great) and got back: T total 984 Free T 59.1 Bioavailable T 111.2 SHBG 89...

This is my most recent bloodwork (Pre TRT), can you help me understand the result for the bloodwork and calculators? I think I am on the lower end, but I might be wrong. The symptoms that I am experiencing are lower libido, low quality erection, brain fog, mild anxiety (occasional but its...

SHBG 96 TotaL T 899 Albumin 4.9 Am I a candidate for TRT in your experience? I have all the symptoms of low T. Libido and ED and Focus issues I am taking supplements like Boron, Stinging Nettle, and others for a couple of weeks and no difference. Should I go straight to TRT if recommended...

I just bought a testosterone booster that has a estrogen blocker in it called arimistane. Anyway I have been taking it for a couple days and really feel the test boost not only in the gym but in the sexual department as well. I def have stronger erections and my libido is better. I heard...

I also ran my results in the free and bioavailable hormone calculator. According to this, my results are- Free Testosterone- 9.34 ng/dL = 1.49 % Total Testosterone- 234 ng/dL = 37.3 % (Using my results of Albumin 4.6, SHBG 56.10, Total Test. 626.3) Now what. My libido is in the tank, I...

Hello, 30 year-old male, difficulty with muscle building (despite strict surplus/protein diet). Difficulty with focus and sleep. No problem with erection frequency/quality but I have lost a lot of sensation over the years, difficult to orgasm. Frequent joint pains. Plan to have children in 3-4...

Hi all, it seems common that with high SHGB, less frequent injection intervals - once per week - are recommended. I couldn't find anything on the reasoning behind this; why does a higher dose of injected test apparently lower shgb levels to a certain extent, and why wouldn't a "steady state"...

hello everyone. I have had a very frustrating few years in regards to absence of libido, and finding a doctor in to digging for the cause. i first had my t tested 3 years back, both free and total came back in the very bottom of normal range. i was 35 at the time. I did research and had my doc...

I am 28 years old and found out on 5/15/18 that I had very low T 151 ng/dl total 29.8 ng/ml Free Estradiol 18 pg/ml The clinic put me on 210 mg per week via one IM shot every monday and 1000 IU HCG split up into two shots a week. I went to my primary care doc for follow up blood work that way...

I had symptoms of low T and the culprit a year ago was probably my high SHBG. My lab before HRT: test: 871 ng/dL estradiol: 38 pg/mL shbg: 78.4 nmol/L Free: 10.9 ng/dL Bio: 256 ng/dL An incompetent doc at lowT99, put me on clomid (.25 mg 3x a week) and anastrazole (.5mg 2x a week) then had me...

35 years old, 1.81. cm. 70 KG. I'm basically panicking with these results. I'm not on TRT btw. I'm seriously considering it. My free test level results will be given to me next week, but I can guess that they must be very low considering both my high SHGB and low estrogen levels. What is the...

This makes sense since higher SHBG would result in lower free estradiol which is probably the main factor in bone density. They do not mention the relation between free testosterone and bone. Progressive Temporal Change in Serum SHBG, but not in Serum Testosterone or Estradiol, Is Associated...

So here is the deal. I have low libido and not really sure why. It started a year ago out of the blue and then I took one arimidex for 3 days to see if it'd help and I think that messed me up more. I saw a doctor and she doesn't really know how to solve this either. I'm 40 - in shape with low...

Hello, guys! Do you have any ideas how to low SHBG and what is the reason in my case? I have no any problems with liver (good tests), alcohol etc. May be the reason is my low insulin, but my sugar is also in normal range. My last results: - testosterone 14.81 nmol/l (ref 10,4-37) - SHBG...
