[QUOTE="madman, post: 107186, member: 13851"] Even with low shbg you missed a critical piece of information.................what are your free testosterone levels using this protocol? As far as injecting more frequently using lower doses is good advice seeing as your shbg is low but regarding it lowering your e2/hemoglobin and hematocrit....maybe but it is not a given as there are others factors aside from just testosterone dose and ones t levels. I would also keep an eye on your hematocrit as you may eventually need to start donating as you are only 3 months into trt and it is 48.....do understand that within the first 3 months of starting trt it is common to see hemoglobin/hematocrit levels rise but it can take up to 9-12 months to reach peak levels. So just because it sits where it does now it can still increase during the following months as many do not realize it can take 9-12 months to reach peak levels and than usually stabilize . Many seem to start donations right away never allowing this to happen and even then with donating some even need to lower their testosterone dose. Intra-individual variability and ones genetics will play a role as even some using lower doses of testosterone and having total t/free t levels in the mid-normal physiological range can still have issues with elevated hemoglobin/hematocrit.
