[QUOTE="drbenway, post: 77817, member: 15166"] I'm a lowish SHBG guy (~19 ref range 19.3-76.4) - started on gels with an endo with limited success and switched to Defy in April. Dr Saya's protocol is subq 44 mg of TestC + 300 IU of HCG 3x/week. Before starting [LIST] [*]BP normal ~120/83 [*]hematocrit 47.5 (37.5-51.0) [*]Hemoglobin 16.0 (12.6-17.7) [*]PSA 2.5 (0.0 - 4.0) [*]Total T 390 (348-1197) [*]BAT 241 (95-285) [*]SHBG 18.6 (19.3-76.4) [*]A1C 5.4 (7.8-5.6) [*]Estradiol (not sensitive test) 16.6 (7.6-42.6) [*]Lipid panel was good (I take pravastatin 40mg) - tryglicerides 103 (0-149) [/LIST] My 3 month labs [LIST] [*]BP [B]high[/B]~140/98 [*]hematocrit [B]51.1[/B] (37.5-51.0) [*]Hemoglobin 16.9 (12.6-17.7) [*]PSA [B]3.3[/B] (0.0 - 4.0) [*]Total T 594 (348-1197) [*]Free T 22.8 (7.2-24.0) [*]SHBG 18.5 (19.3-76.4) [*]A1C 5.5 (7.8-5.6) [*]Estradiol (sensitive test) [B]53.6[/B] (8.0-35.0) [*]Lipid panel was markedly worse - triglycerides 173 (0-149) [/LIST] I'm definitely feeling high E2 symptoms (sensitive nipples/weight gain/flushing and sweating among others). The nurse at Defy put me on 0.125 mg of Anastrozole 3x/week which I started Tuesday (I take this 24hrs after my TestC injection) - I have a follow up with Dr Caulkins on August 19 and we can discuss protocol adjustments then. Overall, I feel so much better than I have in years - I need to lose weight but my mood and energy are really good so I want this to work but there seems to be an awful lot going on here. Would welcome any and all feedback. David [/QUOTE]
