[QUOTE="riverside, post: 69792, member: 14064"] I am a lower SHBG guy and have resorted to daily injections. My last lab showed a major dip in Total T and I am now at 510 ng/dl. My weekly dose has not changed but is broken out into daily injections. My protocol is: 23mg Test-c ED 1 click of 20mg/ml Test Cream on scrotum for DHT .5mg AI ED (long story in another post of mine) 25mg DHEA ED 6000 IU Vitamin D ED 220 IU HCG EOD My recent confusing labs after 4 weeks on this protocol (difference was bumping AI to .5mg ED and ED injections is: Total T = 510 (240 - 950) Free T = 20.4 (4.65 - 18.1) E2 Sensitive LCMS = 10 (10-40) SHBG = 13 (10-57) DHT = 450 (112-965) My labs from 1/25 on an EOD protocol were: 45mg Test Cyp EOD 220 IU EOD .5mg AI EOD 1 click of 50 mg/ml Test Cream on scrotum 25mg DHEA Total T = 928 (240-950) Free T = 372 (46 - 224) Bio T = 631 (72-235) E2 = 32 (10-40) SHBG = 14 (10-57) DHT 1370 (112-955) applied my cream that morning before injection, maybe the cause? Labs on 2/28 after dropping the one click of Test Cream on scrotum because of DHT level. Same protocol as above for this one other than that: Total T = 663 (240-950) Free T = 213 (46-224) E2 = 20 (8 - 35) SHBG = 15 (10 - 57) DHT = 590 (112 - 955) Since my most recent labs at the top, I stopped my .5mg ED AI as my E2 is at 10. Interesting that is didn't totally crash in 4 weeks though at that dose. I have waves of libido at times but I think my body churns hormones so fast that a sweet spot is hard to find. Please let me know what you think about my fluctuating Total T or anything else. One other note was I started Metformin 7 weeks before my last lab and my fasting Glucose did not drop (112 most recently) but I had an A1C drawn before starting Metformin and it was only 4.9. My SHBG definitely did not raise from the Metformin use, I have now discontinued taking it. I have been on TRT for 8 months. 36 years old 6'2" 210lbs and roughly 17% bf. Primary issue for me is libido and has been for most of my adult life. All labs were taken at roughly the same time in the morning and always on injection day and before injecting. [/QUOTE]
