[QUOTE="Joe1205, post: 121482, member: 19667"] I tested for low T at the beginning of the year. TT was 425 and FT was low at 6.3 (range 6.8-21.5). I did a full hormone panel in May before going on TRT and everything came back normal except my SBHG was high 95 (range 16.5-55). This was the first time I ever tested SBHG. I started treatment in May. My current therapy is 200mg of cyp per week. At 200mg per week my energy and mood are great but I have very low libido. I can perform sexually but just dont feel like having sex. I retested my test/SBHG after 8 weeks of treatment and my TT was 1387 and SBHG was 110 which I think is extremely high. That puts my FT at 1.02%. Most males try to keep there FT in the 2%-3% range. Without my Dr's knowledge I raised the dose to 300mg. They do not want to prescribe 300mgs per week since I am at the top of the range. They do not consider SBHG to be a significant factor so I decided to experiment on myself. At 300mg per week libido is better and energy/mood are great. I moved my dosage back down to 200 and my libido is gone. I am currently taking Boron/Stinging Net to reduce SBHG but its not helping. I recently read an article that SBHG can increase in certain individuals when on a Ketogenic diet which I have been on for 5 months. The article suggested that to lower SBHG I should increase carb intake and spike insulin after workouts. I started that diet today to see if it helps but every book/article I have read about high SBHG states there is not much that can be done to lower it. I am concerned about the long term effects of taking 300mgs per week but I think it may be fine long term as long as I monitor my blood work. I am 41 years old, workout 6 days per week, my diet is good and I am not overweight. [B]My questions are as follows:[/B] [LIST=1] [*]Has anyone reduced SBHG by increasing carbs or spiking insulin or any other way? [*]Is there something else I should try to reduce SBHG like maybe Sermorelin? [*]Anyone else have similar issues and are on high doses of injectable test per week? If so, have you had any problems? [*]Is 300mgs per week safe long term if I monitor my blood work? [/LIST] Thank you for the feedback. [/QUOTE]
