[QUOTE="CoastWatcher, post: 101274, member: 2624"] I take it that you are engaged in a self-directed protocol? You've never tested SHBG? It's not a nice-to-have value, it's a critical value that can determine the success of your efforts. Chances are, given what you've said and your lab results, your SHBG is low. Whopping doses of testosterone are going to undermine your efforts. You also didn't test free testosterone - which would give us an idea (indirectly) of where your SHBG might lie. You measured estradiol with the wrong test. You want the LC, MS/MS test - Sensitive. It's the only reliable e2 test for men. No need to test LH and FSH when on exogenous testosterone. Your values will be suppressed. So - SHBG, free testosterone, and the correct estradiol test. The picture will become clearer. [/QUOTE]
