[QUOTE="lookingforhelp, post: 59383, member: 13613"] Okay, here is my latest bloodwork. Total T: 518 ng/dl SHBG: 46 nmol/l (15-40) Estradiol: 41 pg/ml Cortisol: 477 nmol/l (138-620) Albumin: 49g/l (35-50) Prolactin: 221 miu/L (50-400) My insomnia and anxiousness is terrible. Its like heart palps and inability to fall asleep constantly. I sleep around 2 hours since I lowered the dose of HCG and I am still at that E2 level. I am currently doing 150ius twice a week. I had to lower it because the sides are just amplified if I go back to the 300ius MWF. My thoughts... When I first started to get ill I had this horrible insomnia. At that point my E2 was around 30. Over time my E2 got lower and lower and my ability to sleep was better but still not great. It got worse and worse when it was very low. I feel like my body was almost trying to correct itself by lowering my E2. When I was healthy my SHBG was around 25-30 nmol/l. Whats strange is that from my understanding when E2 lowers so does SHBG usually. Even with tanked E2 levels my SHBG has stayed the same or higher. I recently read a study regarding SHBGs higher affinity for Testosterone than Estradiol. [URL="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15509641"] [url]https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15509641[/url] [/URL] I am thinking that there is some issue with my body in regards to SHBG. I dont know why it is this high at my age of 26. If the Free Testosterone calculators on the internet are correct, my Free T sits at 8.24 ng/dL = 1.59 % This does not seem that great, I am most likely estrogen dominant. I have puffy nipples, insomnia, hot flashes, ED, no sleep or night time wood, weak, fatigued. I am wondering whether I should start an AI that my Dr prescribed me, or just talk to him about going onto a lower dose of HCG and mixing some T into my protocol. Your advice would be really appreciated. Its fair to say I feel like S*%it right now. Thanks again [/QUOTE]
