[QUOTE="ReillyJ, post: 108784, member: 17394"] I asked for advice on my husband and how often to give his T dose and you all gave me good advice on splitting his dose to 3 x a week instead of 2 x like we had been doing. He's on the standard 400 mg a month but his FREE T has consistently tested low and his Total has been in the 500's in a trough. It had been suggested he might have high SHBG (he has non alcoholic liver cirrhosis) and he's 69 and been on TRT since last October. We did notice better results with the 3 x a week (IM) dosage (better libido, a bit increase of energy) so that is good but his doc just OK'd an increase of 50% in his RX, i don't know what that's going to be until i pick up his RX but i want to order a SHBG test. Is there a time requirement of when to test like there is for T (for example before a shot)? I think i'll have all three tests taken. Also with this new dosage, should i just keep on the 3 x a week shots? We honestly don't want to do SubQ and would want to stick to IM (he gets it in the glutes currently) and he doesn't mind doing it more frequently if it's suggested here. His last Estradiol test was in January and it was normal...i know dosage increases come with their own complications and i obviously want to avoid that, i imagine he might be converting into other hormones esp. with his liver and probably needed the 3 x a week instead of 2 x. Thanks all for your help, so greatly appreciated Susie [/QUOTE]
