[QUOTE="Belekas, post: 271697, member: 44155"] Focos on nutrients, like vitamins and minerals each and every day. Many ignore and just go by calories. That will work as well but will be not optimal and with time you will run into issues. Fruit and vegetables, whatever you can tolerate, also great source of antioxidants. Yes, takes time to learn so baby steps, take notes, observe how you feel, log everything in Chronometer, and before you know it, it will be second nature. Only one way to find out. It might work, might not. You must give it a fair go if you decide to pull the trigger. I'd say a year to know more or less if its benefiting you or not. Because most likely you will need to make a dose change or injection frequency change and all that takes time till stable hormone levels. And feeling like shit and having to wait ain't no party, if you know what I mean. But on the other hand you might feel great and barely any modifications to the protocol will be needed. Its all trial and error. If you feel great in all areas that you want to see improvements thats all that matters. Then ofcourse the blood test numbers. So if you decide to start theres plenty of great advice in this forum. Go low and go slow would be my advice. Def don't start at 200mg right out the gate. 100mg/week and split into 2 injections E3.5D. Some do great on 1 injection per week, others opt for more frequent injections like EOD or even ED. With your high SHBG I would personally focus on bigger dose and less frequent injections so maybe 50mg E3.5D, give 8-12 weeks, see how you feel and run required bloods. Then reasses and take it from there. Def no AI and hCG is debatle, but more moving parts the harder to understand whats working whats not. p.s. also make sure your thyroid, iron and ferritin, etc, is looking ok before starting so run some blood tests to know what your baseline is, besides all the hormone tests.
